When I was little, I dreamed of being an MTV dancer. Do you remember the days when MTV was simply music videos? The best artists would turn their songs into videos! It was revolutionary! And it was super cool to watch and dream that one day, I would be that Uptown Girl, or Footloose-ing it with the best of them!
I could see it in my mind, so clear, I could feel my shoes on the floor, I had the choreography down to a T. I was a star! I would even rehearse in my backyard, my picnic table was my stage and I would perform for my mom, my siblings and neighbor kids. It was a dream and I was living it! It was so much fun!
What was your dream? When you ‘played pretend’ how did it feel? It felt real, right?! It was in your bones, as if it was truly you! You were climbing tall buildings, doing heart surgeries, running marathons, flying to the moon! Wow, we are amazing aren’t we!
That is the power of a vision. Maybe you’ve been to the moon. Maybe you’re saving the planet, photographing exotic places, running your 100th marathon. Did you hold on to the vision? Did your vision change? Did it fade away and you now have no idea what that past vision felt like? Is it just a faded memory left to collect dust like the rest of our childhood memories.
Or is it?
Wayne Dyer once said “don’t die with your music still in you”.
Did your visions get buried alive, do they need a little resuscitating, breathe a little life back into your life? Do you need a little spark of excitement, to re-ignite your inner light that you’ve been dimming?
I went on to take dance classes through high school, did a few fashion shows, continued to perform on my picnic table stage to the audience at hand. Life evolved and new dreams took root. I love being a counselor and helping others discover or re-ignite their vision. My dance vision turned into being an intenSati Leader and I have many stages to be proud of performing on.
How has your vision evolved? Did the light burn out, get stomped on, or neglected? Now is the time to rediscover you - the light within that is meant to shine. That’s what a Vision Statement is all about. I also call it my Self Image Script because our self image is who we are Being every day of our lives. This is not about what we are doing - the things in our outside world. It’s the feeling, the vision of how we show up every day. Are you excited about your life? Do you laugh every day? How do you get to play, be creative, express yourself on a regular basis?
I have created a Vision Statement Template for you to help you answer these questions. This is about living into your true self, feeling that sense of fulfillment in all that you do, that knowing of “I am right where I need to be!” And it feels so good!
So to get started, I have 3 questions for you to begin exploring that vision that is meant for you. Once you get rolling, ready to deep dive in - grab the Vision Statement Script and get creating the life you truly love!
Questions to begin your Vision Quest:
- What do you want? What do you really want? Some ideas: I want to feel peace, be happy, have a loving partner, travel the world, be healthy……. Get the picture? You take it from here
- What do you choose? Once you have some idea of what you want, ask yourself “what do I choose”? Choice is powerful. Just because we want something, doesn’t mean we choose to bring it into fruition. Take that next step and choose, even just one. Begin there.
- What are you committed to doing? Once you have chosen what you really want, the next step is to commit to taking action to make it happen. What are you committed to? If you really, really want it, then committing to taking inspired action to get there is a bit easier. What we want takes effort, action is required. Remember, successful people do what unsuccessful people don’t do. If you want to succeed in having a fulfilling, fabulous life, what are you willing to do?
There you go! Dive in and have fun! Remember, fun is an essential ingredient to creating that fabulous life!
