Catching a Vision for Your Life

There’s something powerful about tuning into the dreams in your heart and spirit and catching a vision for your life. It brings a deep sense of hope and inspires us, and inspiration is a life force in itself. It can also bring a refreshing and a sense of renewal. Thinking about our next step reflects our natural inclination to develop ourselves. It speaks to our desire for newness and our very real need to experience a change of seasons, and close one chapter of our lives, and begin the next. The awesome thing about catching a vision for your life is that it pertains to every person, no matter if they are established, pursuing or living out a current dream for their life or their family, or are standing at the cusp of a new beginning and determining “what’s next?” It applies to big, overarching dreams for your life, or smaller, more specific goals for certain aspects, and both the short and long-term.

I encourage you to consider taking some time to think or perhaps, pen your vision for your life or some aspect thereof. The truth is no one is ever “there” in life. There is always “more,” and most people want more for their lives. You don’t have to nail anything down or set something in stone. You don’t need to figure it all out in one day. Simply let yourself be energized by the exercise, your hopes, and your plans. Lastly, if you find you are feeling frustrated by the process, then I encourage you to shift your focus away from needing to know and have it all figured out, and focus on that which gives you “life.” Time will take care of the rest!
