Yes, the vision will happen with a passionate and achievable plan of action. Of course, we all have peaks and valleys in our lives. It’s expected on life’s journeys. However, what I know for sure is that solid plans of action will take you from here to there…even if it’s just a vision or what seems like an impossible goal.

Creating a vision might seem challenging, and it could be if you don’t inject a large dose of imagination. This is one of my “clear vision” definitions: a conscious and systematic practice that can lead to accomplishing your desires and goals. Visions can be the original blueprint of the successful outcome to which you aspire. Let’s say that you have an idea that you’ve been carrying around with you for ten weeks or ten years.

Close your eyes and visualize this idea fully manifested. What are you doing, how are you being in this already completed vision? Don’t get stuck on any “how-to’s.” Those will come later after you have reached total clarity about what “it” is. The idea is to uncover all the detailed aspects of what the finished vision looks and feels like as though it were already completed. Have a big piece of paper and some markers in front of you so that as soon as you open your eyes, the ideas floating through your head can be put into the first action step, which is clarifying your goal or dream. Yes, I spoke about this in Part One, but I can’t stress enough how important it is to get clarity about the vision before you can begin a strategic plan of action.

Evidently, there will be a Part Three, because i’m still stuck on discovering and clarifying the original vision! Yes, I’m laughing at myself. Working with hundreds of people and my Vision Mapping Strategies process, I’ve discovered that the first two or three easel sheets of our sessions are all about getting clear for what wants to be manifested. “How to do it” actually comes easier and that happens with the latter pages. This is why I’m doing a little nagging about creating a clear vision.

Write your vision, your idea, your next step, your dream for the future, as if in the present, as if you are living it right now. Be expansive. There are no limitations. Do not let others qualify your dream. Ifs, buts, shoulds… have no place in your vision. This vision belongs to YOU!

Pretend, in your mind’s eye, you have magically arrived at the peak  of your mountain.  Sit there for awhile, let the stillness settle into your bones. Everything is already in place. It has already happened. Now, when you feel ready, play/draw/write what the manifestation of your dream looks like. When you feel clear about the vision itself, then you are ready for a strategic and exciting plan of action. Sometimes it helps to have someone support your journey. Let me know if I can be of service.

Remember: Vision + Action = Joy and Success. Yoursuccess is my passion!
