“Vision”
is an old term in the business world, but creating a Vision for your
entire life is an empowering new technique. For some, this process
seems too “fluffy” or devoid of the instant gratification and tangible
results we’ve come to expect from our fast paced drive-thru world. For
others, creating a Vision is the key to unlocking and obtaining their
dreams and aspirations. What can adopting this ritual do for you? It
can change your life.
The
concept of creating a Vision was introduced to me by my Business Coach,
who asked what exactly I wanted to create for myself over the next 5,
10 and 20 years. What an intimidating question! Dealing with the
present is consuming enough, but it’s comfortable. Composing the future
is frightening and unfamiliar ground fraught with uncertainty, but with
the support and encouragement of my Coach, I am able to venture into
the future, generating and entertaining possibilities. The future will
occur whether I hide from it or prepare for it, but having a Vision of
what I want my life to be is the first step in making that Vision a
reality.
As
I began to answer the carefully worded questions asked by my Coach, my
confidence grew and I let go of the limitations that so many of us
impose on ourselves. It gave me permission to dream of something bigger
than the present. It taught me that my Vision had always existed within
me, just waiting to burst into view and flourish like a flower from a
seed, and then it did. My Vision rose to the surface with vibrant
clarity and abundant truth. Not only did I know what I wanted to
achieve, I realized I was absolutely capable of manifesting and
managing it.
With
the picture painted in my minds eye, I began to write my Vision. It
flowed through me from pen to paper in vivid detail. I could see where
I was, what I was doing, who I was with and how it all felt. Writing in
the present tense increased the power of my Vision, silencing regrets
of the past and fears of the future. Through this freedom, I realized
that only immediate action would fulfill my Vision, and the action of
writing it filled me with the invigorating and powerful energy of the
present moment. The knowledge that I would achieve my Vision simply by
trusting it washed over me with tranquil confidence.
The
moment I tapped into myself and believed that I could accomplish my
Vision changed my life, and when I pause to see how far I’ve come, I
celebrate gaining inspiration from the momentous opportunity to witness
my life become what I want. Merely acknowledging my Vision gave it an
identity, and now it’s manifesting itself. It continues to guide me on
my journey, growing and changing with me. It’s my life map. I choose my
route and get down to the adventure of enjoying the journey.
Why pull over to ask directions when you can make your own map?
Begin to manifest your Vision!
Close your
eyes and look into the future 5, 10, 20 years. Let go of any judgments and begin to paint a picture in your mind.
What does your life
look like?
How is your life on a day to day basis?
What will you be able to say about yourself and your life?
What
are your relationships like with other people in your life – family,
friends, business associates, customers, employees, community?
What have you learned in your life – intellectually, spiritually, financially, physically?
