I want to launch into this lesson by articulating a few axioms that will aid and assist me in articulating the essence of today's teaching.

The first one is simply this. Living without vision is like walking without direction. You may move, but you never get anywhere.

This second one is credited to a biblical philosopher and a thought leader named Dr.

Miles Monroe.

He says, the poorest person in the world is a person without a vision.

But the most frustrated person in the world is a person with a vision that never becomes a

reality.

And this final axiom is attributed to a strong, scholastic, savvy, southern sister who didn't allow her limitations to limit her.

She was blind and death, yet became the first blind and deaf woman to graduate with a bachelor's degree,

became the author of numerous books, became a lecturer in a number of different spaces and circuits.

Her name was Helen Keller.

And Helen Keller says the only thing worse than being blind is having sight with no vision.
