When Your Life Vision Needs Glasses
The Misadventures of Mr. No-Vision
There’s something funny about blurry eyesight. If you’ve ever tried walking without your glasses or squinting through foggy car windows, you know what I mean. You wave at people who aren’t waving at you. You miss door handles and bump into chairs that were clearly not in your way yesterday.
Now imagine living like that every single day, not because your eyes need fixing, but because your life vision does.
Yep. That’s what happens when you move through life without a clear vision. Everything looks fuzzy, every path seems like a good idea, and you end up collecting random experiences you never ordered.
Meet Mr. No-Vision
Let me introduce you to Mr. No-Vision.
Mr. No-Vision is that guy who starts a new diet every Monday. On Monday morning, it’s smoothies and clean eating. By Wednesday, he’s “just taking a little cheat break.” By Friday night, he’s deep into double shawarma with extra mayo. And by Saturday? He’s promising to start “seriously” again next week.
Career goals? Don’t even ask. Last month he wanted to be a pilot. Last week he was researching how to become a professional gamer. Yesterday, he wanted to start a YouTube channel for cats. Today, he’s seriously considering farming because “there’s money in agriculture.”
Mr. No-Vision is all over the place. His life is like a Netflix series with no script, entertaining at first, but eventually you just want to fast-forward to the part where he figures things out.
Life Without Vision is a Comedy Show
The thing about living without vision is that it can be… unintentionally hilarious.
-
You join a gym, pay the membership, and never show up.
-
You sign up for an online course, watch one module, and then forget about it.
-
You start five side hustles and abandon them before the first profit rolls in.
It’s funny because it’s painfully relatable. We’ve all had moments like that. But when it becomes a lifestyle, that’s when the real problem begins.
You see, life without vision is like showing up at the market without a shopping list. You’ll come back with bread, three socks, a broom you don’t need, and absolutely no rice. Then you’ll wonder why dinner looks like confusion.
Why Vision is Like Glasses
Vision is not just about “dreaming big.” It’s about clarity.
When you have vision, suddenly things make sense. The distractions fade, and you can see what actually matters.
Think of vision as a pair of glasses for your life. Without them:
-
You mistake distractions for opportunities.
-
You say “yes” to everything and end up drained.
-
You keep chasing shiny objects instead of building something meaningful.
But with vision?
-
That “business idea” you thought was genius suddenly looks like a money pit.
-
That “relationship” you thought was love reveals itself as a timewaster.
-
That “shortcut” you were excited about shows itself as a dead end.
Vision makes you see clearly. And when you see clearly, you stop running in circles and start walking in a straight line, even if slowly.
The Funny Side of Vision
Here’s the catch: once you get vision, life becomes even funnier.
Suddenly, you notice how random your past choices were. You look back and laugh:
-
“Why did I even think pyramid schemes were a solid retirement plan?”
-
“Did I really believe I could learn French in two days with YouTube tutorials?”
-
“Was I actually serious about starting that snail farm after watching one TikTok video?”
Vision makes you laugh at yourself, but it also keeps you grounded. It saves you from repeating the same comedy episodes over and over.
How to Sharpen Your Vision (Without Visiting the Optician)
So how do you put on your life glasses? It’s simpler than you think.
-
Ask yourself what you really want. Not what looks good, not what your friends are doing, but what you actually want.
-
Write it down. A vision in your head is just a dream. A vision on paper becomes a plan.
-
Break it down. Big vision? Great. Now break it into small, less intimidating goals.
-
Stick to it. Vision is useless without consistency. Glasses don’t work if you keep taking them off.
A Story of Two Friends
Let me share a quick story.
There were two friends, Tunde and Musa.
Tunde lived without vision. Every year, he had a new “plan.” One year, he was into forex trading. The next year, he was a motivational speaker. Another year, he started a poultry business because “eggs are always in demand.” By the end of ten years, he had plenty of funny stories but no real results.
Musa, on the other hand, had vision. He knew he wanted to build a career in tech. He wasn’t the smartest or the fastest, but he kept his vision in front of him. He studied, practiced, failed, tried again, and stayed consistent. Ten years later, Musa wasn’t just employed; he was mentoring others and running his own company.
Vision doesn’t guarantee that life will be perfect. But it guarantees that when storms come, you won’t be running in circles. You’ll know exactly where you’re going.
So, buddy, don’t let your life be a blurry comedy series. Get your glasses on. Get clear. Get focused.
Here’s your little “eye test” for today:
Write down ONE clear thing you want to see happen this month. Just one. Stick it on your mirror, your fridge, or even your phone wallpaper. Treat it like your glasses — keep it on, and don’t take it off until you see it clearly.
Who knows? That one clear vision might just turn your comedy show into a masterpiece
