Proper Vision

I was blown away recently after speaking with a friend of mine who happens to be a financial planner. He was explaining to me how easy it is to save money and live debt free, and still bless others...Excuse me?...did you say EASY?

He explained to me that you have to see money with the right vision, not just as something to buy products that we need and want but more than that, it is the "value" given to something that we desire, what an interesting thought.

So when we put value to those things that we desire such as being able live debt free or bless others we place a higher value on that desire, therefore making it much easier to save and achieve those goals. This concept is known as VIM (Vision, Intention, Means).

If you have the right vision then you will have the intention to see it happen and ultimately the means to make it happen.

Did you know that Jesus taught this very same concept over 2ooo years ago on what is considered to be the single greatest message ever taught? Yup! The Sermon on the Mount.

In Matthew 5:3-12 Jesus paints the vision of who can be blessed, in vs 16 He gives the intention we must have to let our "light shine before men," then in Matthew 6:33 He gives the means by which all this is accomplished "seek first my kingdom, and all these things shall be added unto you."

Utilizing the VIM technique that Jesus outlined, surely we will be able to see the way that He wants us to see and to have the desires that He wants us to have!
