Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 173
Title: Your Life's Vision? What Are You Doing Today Towards Achieving It?
Charles
Fillmore says that every man who
accomplishes things sees first in his mind what he wishes to do. He puts away
all doubt. It makes no difference how small or how large the thing you want to
do may be; if you have an unlimited
confidence in your ability to do it, you will do it.
By definition, vision is a future orientation, a
broad stroke picture that serves as the basis for making decisions or taking
actions towards achieving the vision.
In order
for a vision to become a reality, there are certain elements that must be
present.
First and foremost, the vision must be anchored in
truth.
If there is little or no truth,
the vision will not be obtainable.
For example: If you want
to be an opera singer despite the fact that you truly can't sing--can't carry a
tune, have no pitch, etc. it's not impossible for you to achieve some level of
singing ability with singing lessons.
However, the struggle and
the reality is so far fetched, that it really doesn't make sense to have this
as an aspiration.
Accordingly, it would be important to find out just what you would hope to gain
or could expect your life to be like as an opera singer.
Upon investigation and
exploration, it would be discovered that you love to be on stage, get
attention, and perform in some way.
Those qualities can be
used in many ways besides being an opera singer - and surely would be anchored
more in truth.
Secondly, it is also important that the
vision is aligned with your purpose in life.
If you want to make this
world a better place by sharing your talents and gifts, then singing would
probably not be a wise choice.
On the other hand, if you
choose some form of teaching and reaching many people so that you're sharing
your ideas and wisdom, you're probably aligned with your purpose.
Perhaps some form of
public speaking might be more appropriate.
Thirdly, your vision must be exciting
and compelling.
If not, there is no
incentive to take steps towards making it happen.
If you choose to have a
vision of becoming a nurse and caring for sick people when in fact, you don't
particularly enjoy being around sick people, it's not going to pull you forward
to wanting it to become a reality.
In fact, there will most
likely be lots of struggle and sabotaging along the way.
Could it be a possible
vision with truth? "Yes, but..."
You could learn nursing and
you could care for sick people, and it does align with your vision of sharing
talents and gifts, BUT for you, it's not exciting or compelling.
Therefore, the chances of your
finishing the necessary course work aren't great and even if you did, it would
feel more like drudgery.
So in creating a vision, it's important to think about what experience you
would like to have.
It would be helpful to
notice and check if it's anchored in truth - for you.
Does it align with your
purpose?
Is it compelling and
exciting to you?
Could it pull you forward
and be an incentive and is it motivating you to wanting to take steps towards
it?
Let me then invite you to carry out this experiment:
Create a vision for your life.
Include the type of
experiences you want to have - include ALL of the elements possible:
such as where you will be
living,
how you will be living,
With whom,
What type of work you'll
be doing, etc.
Don't leave anything out
from your dream.
Once it's crafted, look at
the truth in it.
Does it align with your
truth?
Look at your purpose for
being on the planet.
Does it align with your
purpose?
And lastly, is it exciting
and compelling?
Could it motivate and
inspire you to take steps to move towards it?
If so, take your first
step, and then the next.
It may at first seem like
a pipe dream, but if it's aligned and compelling enough, it can become reality.
You may modify your vision
along the way, but all the while, you are moving towards a life that truly fits
who you are and what you want.
So go ahead and create
that vision right now.
