How will you know when it’s time for your vision to grow?

The last post:

The Purpose of Vision …

ended with this question: How will you know when it’s time for your vision to grow? Note that vision can be the great big “life vision or purpose” and it can be a vision for what we want to experience in this relationship or the job or the upcoming holiday. And, just like the vision itself, the answer to the question is personal. No one can answer it but you.

That said, I think some of the warning signs for vision needs to grow are:

  • boredom
  • restlessness
  • anger
  • frustration
  • meaningless
  • passionless

If some aspect of life – or life itself – generally brings up some of the warning signs listed above, consider a new vision:

What do I vision as the perfect 10 here?
How will I hold this vision in my awareness?
What shift in my energy is needed to create it?

What is my next step?

The purpose of Vision …

… is not to attain it, but rather to let it be a bright star shining in the distance that guides us every step of the way.

I have heard that if one’s vision is attainable, it isn’t big enough. As I write that, I suspect that those who have made a practice of visioning, never attain it in part because their vision is big. I also think that those who value the art of visioning see the light at the end of the tunnel. As they see their vision nearing manifestation, they hear an inner calling – they hear the call to vision – again. And they do it. Such persons live a beautiful and expansive life where the vision invites them to grow and the vision, itself, grows as they grow!

What vision is calling you forward?

Beyond the cameras …

CutToTheCore

Bring to mind a situation, relationship, belief that both challenges you and that you are ready to experience shift around.  

Got it?  Now:

 

  • Imagine a documentary film crew has captured all of it. What do they see?
  • What is hidden from the cameras?
  • What is yours to reveal?
  • What will you do about it?

By when?

Stop talking about it!

It’s a risk. Or at least it feels like one. When I set an intention that involves changing how I show up in my life, changing how I act around other people, I find myself wanting to talk about it – first. My ego wants to let you know of my intention. Maybe I don’t want you to think ill of me. Maybe I want your permission. Regardless, what happens is that too much talk sometimes halts forward movement.

There is a time and a place for talk, for bouncing ideas ideas off of others.

And there is a time when quiet action, courage, gentleness and commitment is needed.

What have you been talking about too long?
Where is talk blocking action?

What risk must you take?

Hugs: Give … Receive

Today, as my friend and I were finishing our conversation via Skype, we shared “hugs”. Initially, we quickly said “Sending a hug” and “Sending it right back”.

Then we stopped. I asked if I could simply receive her hug first, without imagining that I was also hugging her. I landed in tears as I fully received her gift. Then it was my turn to hug her and allow her to simply receive. She, too, was touched.

Consider trying this for yourself. They say we humans really don’t multi-task. We can only do one thing at a time. The next time you embrace a friend, stop. Ask to receive separately from your giving.

What do you notice when you single-task your hugs?
