"If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there?"Vision is at the foundation of your Life. Vision gives your Life a target to aim for. And that target represents everything you want to do, be and have in your life. In other words, it is all that is possible. When you live according to what is possible, you will achieve your highest greatness, and likewise, you will have the highest possible positive impact on humankind. This is why you need to make a really HUGE vision.The vision process can be tricky, however, in that the "inner critic" may try to convince you that you can't do these things, or that you are not deserving of all this greatness. Realize that this is old programming combined with your "left-brain" thinking. The left hemisphere of your brain is the logical, linear and rational part, and therefore it often objects to seemingly impossible tasks and goals. Your "right-brain", however, is where your imagination and creativity lives. The key here is to allow your right hemisphere to do this vision work, and tell your left-brain, and the inner critic, to take a break for this work.There are three specific exercises that will help you create your vision. The first is responding to the "miracle question". The miracle question is: If a miracle occurred tonight while you were sleeping and tomorrow you awoke and your life had everything you wanted to do, be and have in it, what would it look like, sound like, feel like, and smell like? Just start writing, going through all the different parts of your life: social, emotional, spiritual, financial, relational, familial, vocational, and recreational.The second exercise is similar, but works better if you are more of a "list person". Make a list of at least 100 things you would do, be and have if you were given 100 billion dollars to spend on this project. In other words, there would be virtually no financial limitations. Start writing and don't stop until you have at least 100 items.The third exercise, and my personal favorite, is to create a vision map. Get a bunch of magazines and photographs, and pick out scenes, words/phrases, and symbolisms that you feel drawn to. Do not analyze or interpret why you are drawn to them (your left-brain), but rather, trust your intuition (your right-brain) to guide you. Glue what you have cut out onto a piece of poster board or mat board. Add in other creative pieces like glitter, a frame, and drawings/words from paint markers/paint that you feel drawn to make this feel more complete.Hang this map in your personal living space where you will be exposed to it daily and let it do it's magic. Read the other two exercises every day in the first person (I and me) and from present tense, meaning, as if it is all happening right now. Be prepared for an onslaught of prosperous and abundant opportunities to come your way as you begin to allow your vision to pull you into your next level of greatness for yourself and all of humankind!Create your vision statement today and begin your vision map. Surround yourself with your greatness and the most expansive possibility for your Life!!Ken Donaldson has been based in Tampa Bay offering counseling, coaching, and educational programs since 1987.
