No Need For Sight When You Have a Vision

It is not our sight, or lack of sight, that determines our success. It is our ability to see a vision and do everything in our power to bring it into fruition. In fact, Lex Gillette proclaims that it wasn’t until he became blind that he was able to truly see. As he writes in his book “Fly!”

“Vision gives you strength. You can see what can be, and maybe what out to be. Your focus shifts away from what’s in your way, to what lies beyond your current reality.”

Lex’s presentation will explore the importance of vision, how it plays a critical role in our ability to break down barriers and accomplish our biggest goals, and how the presence of a vision established the framework for endless potential and achievement.
