You will go as far as your eyes can see

In life, you will go as far as you can see, think, or imagine with your mind. You will go far in life if you can see very far, but if you are shortsighted, you may not go far. In other words, your progress and success in life are mostly determined by your ability to see afar, that is your ability to envision and see yourself in a great place in life.

Why some people succeed and why some don't
People who become successful in life have seen it from the beginning. They know what they want from life before they get it. These people have a clear picture of the kind of future they want within their hearts. Before they became successful, they have seen themselves in a successful place in the mind of their heart. They just transferred what was in their mind into reality by taken deliberate actions. This is how successful people become successful in life. In contrast to this, people become unsuccessful in life because they could not see success in their future, or because they settled for a small success. They cannot imagine beyond where they are!

Ask two kids about their future goals
Imagine, you ask two young kids about what they want to become in the future. One responds, "I have no idea" and the other responds, "I want to become a lawyer". Fast forward to the next 10 years, you will find out that the kid who had something in mind about his future would most likely be more successful compared to the one who had no idea about the future. Also if one kid says I want to become A and the other kid says I want to become B, it is unlikely that Kid 1 will become B, and Kid 2 will become A. Each kid will likely become or near what each has desired according to his or her heart. This is why - a child who has a clear picture of his or her future would be more motivated to pursue that future, and a child without a definite goal is bound to flow with the tides of life, not minding wherever he or she may end up in life. 

Don't let your bad experiences becloud your future
Most times people fail to imagine themselves in high places because of their disadvantaged background. They think it is impossible for things to turn around for them. They accept fate; they believe that things will either remain the same way they are or even get worse. They fail to visualize themselves in a better place because they allow their future to be clouded by their many bad past and present experiences.

No matter what, choose to see a better future
If a person chooses to see a better life in his or her future irrespective of any past or present hardship, such a person will definitely experience that future. This is because vision is powerful. Vision has the capacity to empower a person to overcome his or her current hardship.  A vision can teach and guide a person on what to do to move from where they are to where they are supposed to be.

I wanted to go to Grad School in America
When I was in high school, I had the vision to come to the United States for my graduate school education. Even though I had no parents to sponsor my education, my vision kept me going. My vision made me to be more serious with life and caused me to be diligent in my educational pursuit. Then later I met a person who made my dream of coming to America to come true.

The far you look the farther you get
It is only those who refuse to settle for the bad present that will get to a better future. Only those who see afar will get very far in life. No matter what you are facing now, don't let it becloud your mind. Do not allow anything you might be facing to hinder you from seeing afar of, because the far you look the farther you will get.
