The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to take one step at a time.
“The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that the visionary takes steps to make the dream happen.” ~ Ron Fox
A vision gives you a big picture of life. It’s like a road map that guides your direction or a blueprint that shows you the steps you need to take. It helps you to get to where you want to go. A vision can give your life meaning. It can inspire you and fuel you with energy and passion. Holding a vision connects you to your destiny.
A vision can help you to focus on what is important to you. When you focus, you broadcast a clear message out into the world. You attract resources you need. You find support from others who may share your vision. You make your dreams become your reality.
Perhaps your vision is unclear. You’re uncertain about what you want. If you don’t care, it doesn’t matter much. You’ll create by default. Your life will be a reflection of what others have told you about who you are and what you should do. You will have accepted limitations and false beliefs. You will follow a path without a clear vision of where it goes. And you may not like it when you get there!
I invite you to create a vision of the life you want to live. You know the one. You’ve glimpsed it. You’ve had flashes of inspiration and bliss. It’s a life that is unique to you and you are the only one who has all the qualifications to make it an amazing success. If you are a musician, you must make music. If you are an artist, you must create. Whatever you are, you must be you. You must do it in order to be at peace with yourself.
When you are ready to take the steps from vision to reality, do this:
- You must define it. Begin by being specific in defining your personal vision of success. Whatever you feel you are seeking, from material goods to better interpersonal relationships, visualize it for yourself. When you have a clear definition of success, it becomes more real to you. You become comfortable with the future you are creating.
- You must truly want it. Get in touch with the desire, the longing that is attached to a particular goal. Allow yourself to feel all the emotions attached to this vision of success. As you imagine, bring to mind the feeling of success and accomplishment. Experience the emotional response to the outcome. When you are in touch with your feelings about your goals, you set the creative process in motion. Thought + Emotion = Physical Manifestation.
- You must believe it is possible. “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.” ~ John & Lyn St. Clair Thomas
- You must accept that it will happen. Successful change requires self-acceptance, a positive attitude and the ability to concentrate on and develop your strengths. When you tell yourself you can and will, you have taken the first step towards accomplishing what you want to accomplish. And you will find that you can and will accomplish your goal.
The Mind Matters. There is no limitation to mind power and the ability to direct it to make positive things happen. Are you ready to experience your vision? It starts with the first step.
