Learn about the importance of a plan and future vision. Map out a trail to get from the top to the bottom, so you don’t get lost and not end up at the destination you want to get to.
Why would you set off on a Journey without a map, plan, and vision of where you want to end up?
Adventure you say…Well that's like closing your eyes and just hoping you will hit the bull's-eye in darts, when you really, really WANT to hit the center. Adventure may be fun when you have nothing to lose, you have all the money you want and need AND all the time to waste.
However, if you have wants and needs financially and something you want to accomplish NOW. I know you, you know you will need a roadmap and your energy put towards your ultimate goal, what it looks like completed, which is your vision.
Research show repeatedly that people who spend time to map out their goals and visions and spend the time cultivating, making them happen, get to their planned destination…As I learned on my holiday ski vacation.
Here are some helpful ways of creating that trail map to get you moving down the hill towards your vision.
I. Inventory the previous year (your last map or plan) Allow yourself some time to explore these questions; put music on, meditate, pray or think about each one and write down what you find.
• What did you accomplish? What are you proud of?• What are you thankful for?• What did you not complete that you wanted to?• What do you want your next year to look like?
II. Vision for ManifestationStay in that contemplative, meditative place and imagine yourself in the present year, walking through a forest path and you come across a bridge to a beautiful meadow and garden with a big pond. You bend down to look into this pond and you see your reflection and you begin seeing your present year flash in front of you; the things you accomplish, the goals you complete, the relationships you have; all the good and maybe even the challenges…flash forward it is New Years eve. You are looking at your goal sheet and you are reading off all your completed goals to a gathering of your most supportive and loving friends. They are smiling at you and clapping in celebration of your accomplishments. You feel the expanding joy inside you! J
III. PLAN NOW! Or Plan to Fail!•Write down right now what you saw…what was the big picture, what were you doing, what did you accomplish, what were you feeling???•Now write down 1-3 goals in each of these categories you want to complete: Personal/Psychological, Health/wellness, Job/career, Financial, Spiritual, Social/Relationships, Family, Community/charity
These are the beginning steps to planning and visioning and manifesting your dreams.
