"...vision consists of five components:"Every vision ultimately encounters opposition. If it doesn’t, it probably means the vision isn’t big enough."
- Visualization—an internal, visual representation of a different future.
- Articulation—a verbal expression of that future for the purpose of enrolling yourself and others in it.
- Implementation—the active execution of the steps necessary to move you toward your envisioned future.
- Opposition—active resistance to your envisioned future.
- Realization—the attainment of the vision, which often exceeds what you originally envisioned.
