Last week, we discussed the difference between your why and your vision. I got some comments from a few of you that the content wasn’t really understood.
Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate them.
I apologize, however, for lack of clarity💚
Welcome back🤗.
I do not take your presence here lightly.
Before we move on to the message meant for today, I would just like to take a brief moment to re-explain and expand on the difference between your why and your vision, the best, I can.

Your why and your vision is in relation to where you are going.
Everyone has a dream.
There is something in you of which you desire to birth or fulfill- that is, your purpose.
It’s within you.
You have a destiny, you want to fulfill. You have a passion, within you. You may have begun going in pursuit of it or you’re still preparing for it, either way, you need to birth something.
Now, ‘your why’ is the most important thing you need, in order to begin anything you are doing.
Your why is the foundation to kick start anything you do. Your why is like the fire 🔥that is lit up to begin preparing the meal of your life or fulfillment of purpose.
When you have your why, it’s so strong a force, it can withstand the test of time. When people laugh at you or trials and stress set in, once you remember your why it keeps you going.
You may go to school to learn, but your why can be so that your children never have to go hungry. That is, your why; a foundation that drives you beyond limits.
So, even aside from school, your why cuts across other dimensions of your life. For this same reason of your children never going hungry, you labor in the place of prayer, you also labor at work; Your why!
Your why can be to start a movement because, for example, unfortunately, a friend of yours lost their lives to gang rape.
So, your why is to prevent others from going through a similar experience.
Still, it crosses across other areas of your life, even with how you relate with people.
Because of your experience with your friend, you may begin to love people more in general and feel drawn to help people in need not just even in the area of rape.
This is your why.
It’s what remains and still triggers you to move, when you are in a state of rest or tired. It is what would cause you not to give up when you feel most.
Your why is the foundation of your legacy, the home.
Keep your why. It doesn’t have to change except a better one comes.
Now, your vision.
Your vision is where you foresee yourself going.
It’s not where you ought to be, or what you are passionate about fulfilling.
It’s what you see yourself being.
So your vision is more like the way you see your house looking, or the way you imagine your business booming. This is your vision, it’s your dream.
Your vision is how you see the meal you prepare, coming out.
Now, your vision can also push you beyond limits.
Though your why is extremely strong. At times, we get most motivated by things that we can imagine and would bring us joy rather than why you are even doing it.
So, your vision is built on your why.
Once you have your why then you can have your vision.
Your vision comes from a place of looking at the future so as to fulfill your desires.
That is why you can have multiple or different visions in relation to different areas of your life.
Eg. For your marriage: your vision can be to never have an argument with your spouse and to have a peaceful home.
Meanwhile, for your business: your vision can be to be the best hairdresser (whatever your profession is ) in Africa (even, the world).
For your education: your vision can be to be the best graduating student.
You see, your vision varies and can be different for each area of your life.
Your why however is the same in most areas of your life, it can be, “I want to make my parents proud “
So, in your marriage, you do everything to make them proud ( but please, don’t let that mean you make your spouse suffer and sideline them).
For your business, you try not to get into corruption or you work extra hard because you want to make your parents proud.
For your education, the reason you would wake at night when others are sleeping is that you never want to see your parents disappointed in you.
Your why and your vision can vary or be interchanged, in motivating you to become the person you are to become.
God has divinely created you to fulfill something, however, how can you fulfill these things?
- Start with your why
- Have the vision to help fulfill it.
I do hope you understand this perfectly if you don’t, please send me a mail; paulinaboye045@gmail.com
Now, begin to go in pursuit of that which you have within you, to birth.
Please bear with me, next week we shall proceed unto discussing the difference between your goal and vision, but for now, please understand this principle on your why and vision well.
Thank you and God bless you.
You are fruitful in all you do.
