Is Your Vision Blurry? 10 Ways You Can Clear Your Vison Without Following The Crowd

Success is everywhere and comes from everyone who feels a need to achieve more today than they did yesterday. Information can be found just about anywhere today as well. Almost so, that you can often get distracted by how many resources are available for you to use and you might find yourself falling off course before you even realise how close you could be to your very own success.

Don’t let this get you down. If you are feeling like you just don’t know where to turn or who to trust or even when to take action because you’ve heard it all before, just calm down and just stop what you’re doing. While you’re taking a break I am going to give you 10 great ways to get a better picture for yourself without the need to waste your time looking everywhere for the answer that you’re going to find out is surprisingly with you every day.

We’re always told to stand up for what we believe in and don’t be a follower but instead be a leader. What happens if there’s no one else around to lead? That’s not the point as you’re about to find out.

  1. Be Different
    When it comes to being yourself you already are. You actually can’t be anyone else but you sure can act like it. Write down what you like and ask people what they like about you. Use this information to truly discover exactly who you are. Be specific because there’s no point in beating around the bush here. You’re going to be discovering and meeting the real you and no one else. Again, you’re going to be different from anyone else including who you thought you were.
  2. Live For Today
    This is my signature on my cell phone and there’s a damn good reason why. Because you should always live for today. I am even guilty of this all most every day of my life as I often have negative thoughts about things and think back and miss what was or am worried of what could be. Don’t worry about the past, it’s over. Just move on and be in the now and live for the day you’re in. Tomorrow will take care of itself only IF you live for today. Then again, tomorrow will take care of itself either way. The great thing about this is that you can still be a planner and focus on your future while being in moment.
  3. Dream
    Dream, dream, dream. This is one of the most amazing gifts you could have because you’re given the ability to see into the future for yourself. You’re even given the ability to create your own future out of burning desire and passion and a drive for making those dreams a reality so dream and keep on doing it because until you’re dead, and even I can’t prove this one, you’re never going to have to stop dreaming. Do it and feel the experience!
  4. Question Before Taking Action (Pre-Learn)
    We’re always hearing people telling us to take action. What you should do is actually question what you’re about to do before actually doing it and pre-learn the process. By doing this you will have a better understanding of it and why you’re going to do it. Always question this because just doing is no good if you haven’t thought it through. At the same time just knowing about something and doing nothing about it is not going to get you anywhere either. Make sure you have an understanding with yourself as to why you’re about to jump on board and tackle something and also understand the results you’re going to benefit from by getting it done.
  5. Get It Done Right (Fail, Learn, Move On)
    You’re not going to get far if you’re just coasting along doing a lot of little things. Make sure you are doing the right things and focus on what exactly those things specifically are to you. Doing anything for the first time is scary and you’re probably going to fail at it so prepare for that. Just make sure you actually get something done and are not just doing something to pass time. Time is the most valuable asset we have on this earth. Nothing is more important and will ever be so use it wisely and make sure you’re getting done what needs to be done and learning from failure to do it right. This makes all the difference in the world right here and you will find this out when you reach this point.
  6. Realise That Best Exists Only Because Of Better
    This is quite a different approach than you’ve probably heard isn’t it? I bet it is. There is truly not best. I’m sorry if you have heard differently but please allow me to share my thoughts here. We say we’ve had the best there is and that’s actually a lie. How can best not exist? There is always better. Best exists because there is always going to be something better and until something better comes about, then we have concluded that we have the best there is. I hope you understand this because this is very important to realise as you live your life and focus on clearing your vision for better things to come. Following the crowd is dangerous because it’s the best. The better is inside you as an individual. Learn that now and take it however you like and see what can happen.
  7. Never Give Up
    Seriously, never give up no matter what. Giving up is the easiest and best way to end your life in its tracks. I’m sure you would rather find out what the best of life can bring to you but too many individuals instead just get so far and simply give up and never get to experience what greatness their lives could be. The biggest point I’m going to make here and suggest to take and put it close to your heart is the fact that if you’re not clear about what you’re doing and where you’re going, never giving up is dangerous and you should stop and come back to this article and reread the entire thing from start to finish. You MUST have a clear vision of what you want your life to look like down to the exact detail or you’re doomed. This is to help you, not frighten you. Honest. Once you have that clear detailed vision and you have made the choice on your own to never give up, the possibilities are endless and you will go as far as you allow yourself.
  8. Experience Uncomfortable Emotions
    We don’t learn anything or get anywhere further than where we are in life by being positive or negative. In fact, these are just emotions that allow us to feel a certain way about situations we go through in life. What I’m talking about here is getting uncomfortable with who you are and where you’re going. Experience this emotion and work on being optimistic and wonderful things are going to come your way more than you’ll ever know. This is because allowing yourself to experience being uncomfortable with something encourages you to change that so that you are actually comfortable with it later. Doing this will get you to change and allow your inner spiritual and emotional self to grow into a greater person for the world and for yourself.
  9. Fear Only Itself
    Fear is something we all have. I’m not going to lie here and tell you that I don’t fear things. I do. I know that fear is only something we let control us and for negative reasons most of the time. It’s actually fear that stops us from succeeding with ourselves and by understanding that we only fear fear, we’re doing ourselves a great advantage. The next time you are afraid of something just remember to ask yourself exactly why and take one small step toward overcoming that fear. Seriously, but just one small step. It can be anything.

    Example: I have Arachnophobia: Fear of Spiders. Oh I’m petrified of the damn things. Why? They’re ugly, creepy, crawly, can hide where I don’t know they’re there, are poisonous and many other reasons I could name. Is any of this true? All of it. But what are spiders to be afraid of? I’m not sure… I’m just afraid of them and therefore I have what’s called Arachnophobia.

  10. Allow Yourself To Be Approachable
    There are a number of ideas tied into this one and the best part is, all of the 9 ways you can clear your vision for your own true success are directly related to this one powerful idea and statement. This also has to do with being ready for change. This is because change is the only constant and the sooner you are able to rely on this and be free and okay in accepting this the happier you will in turn be. Approach others and let others approach you and be open and free. All at the same time should you follow the 9 ideas I have outlined here and learn to embrace this one idea with life and your journey to your goals will rise above any expectations you have set out for yourself.

I hope you have taken some thought to any of the ideas I have here and are able to see some ways you can experience a clear vision to your own inner self and your own goals and life situations without worrying about the crowd out there and trying to keep up. By all means you should serve others and listen to others but with the right authority and experience and knowledge you don’t have to depend on anyone but your inner self to be true and happy and have a clear vision.

What do you think of what I have had to say here and what are some strategies you use to clear your own vision for your inner self and achieve greater things in order to provide for a brighter future?

  1. dreaming and never giving up is the key to it all! I always dream, sometimes a little to vocally but I do it all the time.

    Awesome post brother

    Hey James, thanks for the comment. Dreaming is important and never giving up is what will take you as far as you want to go.

    Stop by any time! :)

  3. winnie says:

    Uncomfortable emotions, I like that one because yes you have to live in the moment and that includes the bad one. Analize what you are feeling and ask yourself…why? Great Great Listen..You are awesome

  4. Eric says:

    Hey Winnie thanks for stopping by!

    Living in the moment, especially the bad ones are truly a hard thing to do. Though you have to understand that sometimes that’s what it takes as there’s no good without bad, vice versa. The important thing you have to remember is to learn from the bad and keep striving for what you want your life to look like.

    Thanks! :)

  5. I think you have a very solid approach – I just said this in reply to the comment you left at my own blog, but I think having that focus and really sticking it out through thick and thin is fantastic. I have so many projects on the go at once which really doesn’t help me, I think. Then I give up when they don’t seem to be working instantly. I’m trying to change that from now on. And I also like what you say about failure – everyone fails sometimes, but as long as you learn from it it’s not really a failing at all.

    Great post!

    Thanks Ruth,

    Having multiple projects isn’t bad as long as you have a plan and keep at it and realise what you’re in for. Just make sure you can handle everything and if not, take responsibility and do what is necessary about making what needs to happen, happen. On the same note, yes, as long as you learn from your mistakes you can’t fail. In fact, giving up and never learning anything again is the only sure fire way to failure in my mind.

    Why else would I be doing all of this if it wasn’t?

    Thanks for the comment! :)

    Personally I think that for us to be truly successful in our own right we need to break away from the crowd and be unique. To do that you need to have a clear field of vision. Your 10 points Eric are great ways to do that!

    By the way I wonder if your fear of spiders comes from a feeling of a total lack of control. When you see or think about spiders you feel like you’re out of control of the situation and that’s where the fear comes from. That would be my thinking on it. Either that or you were savaged by a giant hairy spider as a child.

  8. Eric says:

    Ben, thanks for the comment.

    Breaking away from the crowd is a great way to achieve success though we still want people to be around to enjoy and share that success with. Yeah, it could be lack of control and I’m not sure where it came from. Either way, I dun like ‘em lol.

    Thanks for commenting! :)

    I think my biggest problem is worrying about tomorrow and I forget to live for today. It is something I need to practice and over come, another is feeling uncomfortable about pursuing anything different than what I am doing. Even if it will make me happier, yet another I need to work on. Think I may start fresh tomorrow morning. I am always open for new way’s of looking at things. Got ya in my reader now, love your style!

    Ryan,

    I appreciate the comment and am glad you found this article of help to you! I have trouble with living in the past and really need to work on living for today as well… This is the main reason it’s on my phone! lol

    Getting uncomfortable could do us all a favor and is something I also am working on daily.

    Glad to have you on board, bud! :)
