“A life without a vision is like a kite let loose; it is directed by the forces that be, never giving even the slightest of resistance to life's pressures, eventually ending up far away from home (that comfortable place). You shouldn't expect anyone to give you a vision. A vision is not given, it's created, by you.”

by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 1

In other words

A kite can stay in the air without choosing where it goes. Wind supplies the movement, but every force around it decides the direction. A life without a vision can move in the same way, active yet carried farther from home.

Vision gives pressure something to meet. It joins the past, present, future, and the person living through them into one direction. Old pain can become useful, today’s choices gain meaning, and the future is no longer only what happens next.

No one else can supply that inner direction. Other people may guide or inspire, but the vision must be made within the life it will hold together. Its strength comes from becoming the way that person sees and steers.
