I wear glasses to see as my vision without them is blurred; a flaw of genetics I suppose. I make it look cute though, or so I'm told, but I think that may have something to do with the end-goal of the person complimenting me - I don't fall for it. I don't need perfect eyesight to have good life-vision though and it's that vision which has helped me navigate my life a little better, with the view to shaping it as I desire.
I'd not say I have big vision, however the scope of my vision is all-encompassing. I think about my future and try to see it the way I wish it to be and because it's a life thing the vision reaches into every corner of my life. I think it helps me compose a better masterpiece, certainly so when compared to having no vision at all.
Vision itself isn't quite enough however and I learned, through trial and error, mistakes, failures and great personal heartache, that steps must be taken for forward motion to occur. I had to do something, many things, and that meant breaking my vision down into smaller and more manageable pieces; the steps.
I realised, to create my masterpiece, I needed to do many small things consistently and rather than looking for grandiose actions and results I chose to find and perform smaller ones, each day, hour and minute. They began to compound and I found my vision became clearer, more real, and I moved in the directions I wished little by little.
I don't think there's a strict rule on this process as we are all different people with varied needs, wants and desires, however I seek to maintain my vision, to nurture and care for it, and the routine of performing those small things that help me move closer to it. I sometimes move backwards, I'll not lie, however when I do I find a little more clarity through understanding take some more small steps and move in the right direction once more. It works for me.
My masterpiece may not be visible to others, it may not make sense to them, although to me it makes perfect sense - it's my life after all. I'm not sure when it will be finished and what it might look like at that point but I'm content knowing I work on it and create a little more each day.

Oh thank you for saying so Armando, I really appreciate it. I feel people, far too often, seek big things and forget that those big things are really just a combination of many smaller ones. I move from small to small, fulfilling my desires and wants for a happy and healthy life along the way, and life unfolds like a flower in spring.
Thank you for your engagement.

Wonderful worldview! Again, thank you!
I think having a vision and an aim is so important. Without knowing where we need to go we are just aimlessly wondering through life.
Life's challenges can be off putting but as you say, small steps are key rather than big leaps that can't be sustained.
Great post @becca-mac - really resonated with me.
Seeing where we I am going, having a vision, allows me to determine what actions I need to take to move that way.
Thank you for your comment.

Alright Blindy! 😀 Good to see you heading in the right direction. That's the main thing.
😊 Blindy hey?
Well, I can see well enough to know you look identical to one of the Bee Gee's, and that you have beautiful hair! 🙃
You make me laugh, thank you.
