Your vision shapes your behaviors, and this is especially true if you see your past or future in a negative light. Additionally, if you look back and see the good from your past while having a positive picture of your future, your behaviors will begin to align you in that direction. Therefore, it is essential to have a positive vision and behaviors to live a fulfilling life.
Furthermore, having a positive vision can help you develop positive behaviors that lead to a more fulfilling life. Your vision shapes your behaviors, and this is particularly evident if you have a negative outlook on your past or future. On the other hand, if you can focus on the positive aspects of your past and have a positive view of your future, your behaviors will naturally align with your vision.
The Power of Future Vision in Psychology
Viktor Frankl, a neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, author, and Holocaust survivor, observed that when people lose hope and connection to the future, they also lose context and meaning for the present, resulting in their death. Over the past 100 years, psychology has shifted from the belief that a person is shaped by their past to recognizing that they are more influenced by what they see in their future.
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
