Now You See Them, Now You Don’t: The 7 Vision Lenses of Purposeful Leadership

Now You See Them, Now You Don’t

How to Recognize the People, Moments, and Opportunities Shaping Your Destiny

People walk in and out of your life every day. Some stay long enough to teach you something profound. Others leave before you even realize what they were meant to show you.

But the real question is this:

Do you pause long enough to discern whether their presence was a blessing, a lesson, or a warning?

Most of us don’t. We’re too busy reacting to what’s happening instead of reflecting on why it’s happening and taking the right action at the right time. That’s how we miss the hidden purpose in the encounters, the detours, and even the disappointments.

The Power of Vision Beyond Sight

Vision isn’t just about seeing what’s in front of you. It’s about perceiving what’s beneath the surface—the intentions, alignments, and divine patterns shaping your journey. That’s where the 7 Vision Lenses come in. Each lens helps you filter what you see through what you know, so you can move from Clarity→ Action → Impact with confidence.

The 7 Vision Lenses

1. Personal Vision
2. Organizational Vision
3. Transformational Vision
4. Short-Term Vision
5. Long-Term Vision
6. Innovative Vision
7. Purpose-Driven Vision

I know what you’re thinking: that’s a lot of vision!

And you’re right.

Trust me, when all seven are strong, you ride with clarity, balance, and unstoppable momentum.

What Changes When You Use All 7

• You recognize who’s meant to walk with you and who’s meant to teach you.
• You differentiate between distraction and direction.
• You turn uncertainty into insight.
• You see purpose in people, power in patience, and growth in grace.

Whether brief or lasting, every encounter carries a message for your next level of leadership.

Here’s the Truth

Vague vision leads to misplaced effort. But when you name your vision through the seven lenses, you frame your future and start perceiving what’s already unfolding in your favor. Discern. Decide. Direct with intention.

Reflection Exercise for This Week

Pause for a moment of vision and ask yourself:

1. Who recently entered or exited my life—and what lesson might that hold?
2. Which of the 7 Vision Lenses am I neglecting right now?
3. What’s the specific name of my current vision?

When you can answer these with honesty and clarity, you’ll begin to see your path with new eyes.

The goal isn’t perfect vision. The goal is purposeful vision.

From Clarity → Action → Impact

The next time someone walks in or out of your life, don’t just react. Reflect. Ask what the moment is revealing to you. Because sometimes, what disappears is simply clearing space for what’s about to appear.
