Why do you need to have a Vision Statement?
Why should you have one, and is it really just a waste of time?
Well, here’s an update to my January 2018 post on the subject:
If you don’t know what you want, how will you ever get it?
You need to be clear about what you want and what you expect.
When you achieve this clarity of vision, when you define it, you can then more easily manifest it.
Once you define it, you release and let go.
And let the Universe, through the Law of Attraction, work for you.
Yes, you need to do your share of the work.
And it starts with defining who you are and what you want.
That’s your Mission [Purpose] and your Vision.
First – Mission [check out my blog on this].
And once you define your life purpose/mission, you can then take the next step.
It’s developing your Vision.
What are the items that you might want to address in your vision?
How about such things as:
• Relationships, love, marriage, family, and friends
• House and home
• Travel and transportation
• Self-development and education [courses and learnings]
• Experiences, recreation and use of free time
• Career, livelihood, business, job and community contributions
• Prosperity, money, finances
• Success and achievement
• Material things, clothing, jewellery
• Spirituality or religion
Start by jotting down your personal vision for yourself in the areas noted above.
If you already have a vision for yourself, then you can add, delete, amend and expand to your heart’s delight.
And it’s done in the affirmative. Nothing negative!
Let’s use a process that was taught to me by life coach Mary Morrissey in her Prosperity Plus and Prosperity Plus II courses.
It starts by expressing gratitude prior to each statement in our vision.
Gratitude for each area in which you are now manifesting abundance, or where you intend to.
For example: I love, I am thrilled, I am so joyful, I am grateful, I am so happy, I am so thankful, I am so pleased, I am overjoyed, I am so appreciative…
Followed by: that…….
Let’s take a look at a sample – a template.
They will be very loosely modelled after my own personal vision. Fill in the blanks with your own choices.
Here we go:
