Vision to ... a Jumbled Mess

There are so many things that can be done. There are so many things that need to be done. There is so much work that my mind gets lost just thinking about what is needed to even start (not that it's difficult for my mind to get lost or anything). The obvious starting point is with myself and my own family, but what next. My wife and i are getting more involved with the youth group in our church, and that's a good start. If we want to change the world, it starts with the youth. Also, one of the things that i want to do is to write a book. I have started this many times, but cannot come up with a set vision and direction for that book. Right now it's all a jumble of facts, concepts, and images. It's easy to lose focus on what the reality is and where we need to go, but that is key to success. If we don't understand the endpoint we can't reach that endpoint. In order to bring about change on a large scale it requires the involvement of many people working together. One person cannot do it alone. So refining & spreading the vision is a key to external change. Of course that also requires understanding your own vision. After all, how can we explain what we don't necessarily understand ourselves? So what are some of the keys to this change? Well since the problem is that youth are not trained to be and act like adults, than that needs to be a starting point as well. Boy, my mind is a jumbled mess. Everything here is valid and valuable, but without direction and action, it is nothing more than a jumbled mess.
