![]() There is nothing more important to the achievement of your dreams and the ability to live your best life, than having a life vision. When coaching our clients, we suggest that they project their lives 10 years into the future and to write out their vision, in the present. 10 years, most people say? And to that we reply, yes! Why? Because time flies by so quickly and besides if I were to ask you to reflect on where you were ten years ago, it's very easy for most people to remember. When writing out your vision, it's important that you incorporate all of your values, into that vision, For example, if you value your health, be sure to write about your health and overall sense of well-being. By doing so, you will also begin to make better life choices that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle and a greater sense of well-being, beginning today. It's important as well that your vision includes personal growth and development, your chosen career of course, creative pursuits, spiritual beliefs, the friends in your life, your legacy ie. how you will have contributed to the lives of others, family, loved ones and lastly, time for you and you alone. All of these topics form the 9 components of your potential and are key to living a happy fulfilling and abundant life. As such, it's important that all of these topics are incorporated into your life vision. Next step is to begin to set realistic, measurable and meaningful goals -they will become the stepping stones towards your dreams and the foundation upon which your vision will be achieved. |
