Do You Have a Vision?

Hmmm… When people mention having a “vision,” a “mission,” or a “purpose,” do you zone out? I used to think having a grand idea of what my life should be or be used for was a bunch of woo-woo. I mean really - I’m just trying to get through the day. Right?

I always liked the idea of having a plan for myself that would make a difference in the world… But it always seemed too big and grandiose. How could little ‘ol me think I would affect the world around me? I have so many things to do each day just to meet the deadlines and manage obligations - how could I ever find the time, energy, or resources to work towards something bigger than myself?

That’s what I thought…

Until a few years ago when I got to participate in a workshop that promised to help me create a vision for my life - a vision for who I wanted to show up as in the world and how I could live into that vision more fully in all areas of my life. This workshop was a gamechanger.

It wasn’t about New Years Resolutions, or SMART goals, or even how I was going to lose the next 5 lbs.

It was about who I wanted to be.

So many of us are juggling so many things that we don’t think about who we want to be anymore. Who do I want to be in my relationships? With my partner? My kids? My friends? My neighbors? My co-workers? How do I want them to feel in my presence?

Who do I want to be when it comes to my health? Am I someone who values my health? Do I work hard to take care of my physical, mental, and emotional health in a way that allows me to live my best life? Do I pay attention to my habits? Do I value feeling good so I can give my best to those around me?

Who do I want to be with my finances? In my career or vocation? With my connection with That Which Is Greater? Who do I want to be when it comes to how I value rest and play?

And when all these things come together - How do I want to show up in life? What do I want people to remember about me? What is the story I’m telling with my life?

These are the questions we ask during my Life Vision Workshop. No weight loss goals. No salary or promotions. No new cars or bigger houses. This is about a life vision for YOU as a person.

That workshop years ago clarified so many things for me… and each year I repeat the experience to fine tune that vision. It’s become one of the things I look forward to most at this time of year - and I’m excited to be able to offer it for others now!

What a magical way to step into a new year… With a clear picture of who you plan to be - a filter to screen all your choices (time, energy, resources) in order to create a life you’ll love.
