However you do it, you’ll definitely want to stifle the question about how you are going to realize the vision as you are thinking big about the future. It is a great question, but not useful at this stage. For now, just keep noting what you want, and try to ignore any, “Yes, but’s”, that show up to try to make your vision smaller.<\/p>\n
The idea of vision is inherent in the name. however you get to the initial draft, a litmus test of your vision will be whether you can actually see it. Or perhaps better expressed, see yourself in it. What does it smell like, look like, feel like? Walk through it in your mind. This might feel uncomfortable, and it probably should; if you’ve created a big vision for yourself you’ll probably have no idea how to achieve it, and much of what you have written down will be outside your current comfort zone. That’s okay. By admitting to yourself what you want and making it concrete in some fashion you have set some very powerful forces in motion. There is more to do to make it a reality, but this first step is a big one on that road.<\/p>\n
If you aren’t yet at the point of clarity, then make that your first goal. It’s a big waste of time to go through life being unclear about what you want. Most people wallow way too long in the state of “I don’t know what to do.” They wait for some external force to provide them with clarity, never realizing that clarity is self-created. The universe is waiting on you, not the other way around, and it’s going to keep waiting until you finally make up your mind. Waiting for clarity is like being a sculptor staring at a piece of marble, waiting for the statue within to cast off the unneeded pieces. Do not wait for clarity to spontaneously materialize-grab a chisel and get busy!<\/em><\/p>\n-Steve Pavlina<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
