A short motivational talk by Jessica Matthews (2025) on the importance of having a clear three‑year vision as a ‘North Star’ to guide decisions, focus energy, and act as a filter for saying no amid life’s growing complexities (relationships, family, work). The vision helps create a direct, efficient path toward goals.
What is your three year vision? Your three year vision is your North Star. It's your filter. It's like your destination in Google Maps. If you know where you're going and you can put that into Google Maps, you're going to get there more effectively, more efficiently, more quickly. And this is the same thing with how your mind works. When you tell your mind what you want, you are going to have a more direct path to get there. You're going to be able to push your energy in that direction. But the other thing that you can use your three year vision as is your filter. So the challenge we have, as we become more busy in life, as we add complexities like relationships, like families, like kids, we have to learn how to say no.
