The vision bucket

Having a vision is like having a really big bucket. It is the biggest bucket that life’s other buckets are placed within.

If a smaller bucket like a career, relationship, or hobby is being filled with the resources of time, energy, focus, and money it is most effective and efficient for the filling of that bucket to simultaneously be contributing to the bucket of the vision.

Some things to consider:

• You don’t have to have a really big bucket before you start filling the smaller ones.
• At some point, you will put too much time or energy into one of your buckets and it will overflow.
• By having a big bucket, your overflow is collected as lessons, skillsets, and relationships that sharpen your ability to see.
• Even the spills contribute to the vision.
