Bee Vision

A couple months ago I read an article in an alumni magazine about a study on bees. It was discovered that a bee’s eyes were in the exact same shape of the honeycomb it produces. The author of the article pointed out that vision has a profound impact on actions.

With this in mind, what is our vision in life? What do we hope to accomplish, what do we want to do? Is our vision clear or murky? Do we believe we can do something great? Do we have the discipline to be truly committed to it? I’ve found in business and in life that those who have a clear vision are successful.

A vision is often a long-term goal of what we hope to become or accomplish. It is something that in the present seems a bit far-fetched or foolish but over time (maybe 10 years or maybe 50 years) with the right actions, can be achieved. It is the future we hope to create. And in my mind, anything is possible!

Like the bee, our vision will guide our actions. It will help direct us and lead us. A good vision will also inspire and motivate us. Our vision will shape us and make us become the type of people we want to become.

If we are committed to a vision in life, much like the bee, it will define our actions. Likewise, much like the bee and honeycomb, we must have a clear vision and when we do we can make it reality!
