This is a snapshot of my vision I wrote out for 2007. I knew I needed to develop some essential disciplines that I would have to carry with me if I wanted to be successful now and 90 years from now. In 2007, I knew I needed to set the foundations of life. Once I did this in 2007, 2008 was going to be the year to focus on music like I wanted.

Well, here I sit the first day of 2009 and realizing that I am still trying to accomplish my 2007 vision. I have accomplished other things, but this 2007 vision is the foundation. I have always been the one with amazing potential (no conceit intended). I have always been the one that dreamed so much bigger than where I’m at. I also knew that I could get there. You know, when you get older and respected, and people realize your abilities.

I am not old by any means, but I’m pushing 30 in the next couple of years. I’m not a kid anymore. I’m not the man I will be when I’m 50, but I realized something about myself. I am inspired easily, and I inspire others very easily. I’m good at that,

but I’m not good at taking the inspiration and integrating it into my life.

My vision was inspired in 2007. I believe it was a prophetic inspiration by God. He knows what I need to do what I’m supposed to do. Where I have not done well, is integrating that inspiration into my life. That is why I sit waiting for my abilities and anointing to be realized.

I’m living in the inspiration of it, rather than the integration of it.

Many people have had huge revelations or epiphanies in life. Think about when you had one. Now, ask yourself: did you integrate that epiphany into your life, or did you just move on for a year or two until you had it again?

I’ll make a few tweaks to the snapshot above, but it is my 2009 vision again. I want to integrate these God-given inspirations into my lifestyle, not for just a month.
