Valuable

Inspirational Opportunities
Now
As I look out over our land,
I can see what is in front of me. If I am in a
small room in a house or office building, I can
see the walls in that room. What I cannot see is
beyond the walls... the rest of the building, the yard
outside, the buildings that surround the one I am
in.
Life is often like that -
where I can only see what is immediately
around me. I cannot see outside of my
immediate situation. I cannot imagine what it
would be like beyond the walls and limits that I confine
myself to.
If only I
could see past the current moment - past the limitations
that I have imposed upon myself - what would I
see?
How can I dare to think
that I could have a vision for myself? Of what I
could become, of how I could serve the world?
We all have dreams - things
we'd like to do with our lives. Often we bury those
dreams because of lessons we've learned over the
years.
Think about the
dreams you've lost and how you might recapture
them.
There are likely things
you might teach me that I'd love to learn; lessons deep
inside of you just waiting to get
out. There might be a few things that I have to
teach you along the way as well. One of my passions is
to help others capture the vision for their lives.
Why is a vision important?
Because it gives purpose and meaning to your life and a
direction in which to head. A personal
vision establishes what you most value and how you
can most be of service to yourself and
others.
What is a vision?
Vision is looking beyond what is into what could
be.
What can you do to set a
vision?
You can look at your past
from where you are right now, or you can look
ahead at where you are going, using your gift
of imagination and creativity to design where you want
to lead your life.
Steps to establish a
vision:
- Use your
imagination to think about how you really want your
life to be. What would you really, really,
really like to do this year? There are many
possibilities, it's up to you to make the choices that
will shape your life this year.
- Look
forward at various points through your life: where you
are, what you are doing, who you are with.
- Think of
what you really, really want. Create something
in your life that you've not created before.
- See
yourself with all the rewards of accomplishing your
purpose.
