Is your Vision BIG enough?
This is the time of year when individuals and companies begin to declare their vision for the year ahead… I wanted to take a moment to check in on your process.
Here are a few questions for you to consider…
Is the vision you are creating going to become your compass/anchor? The point in which you pivot to course correct anything that may get in your way?
Is it a beckon of light that creates a “No matter what it takes” mental model?
Are your current mental models going to positively support the realization of your vision?
What process do you have in place to effectively create adoption for your vision?
What tools will you put in place to ensure accountability? Will they result in holding you accountable?
Is your vision developed in a way that has you playing to WIN?
Is your vision big enough to have you jump out of bed each morning and take on whatever it takes to actualize your vision?
Will it create the inner motivation and strength to accept ‘what is”? To create solutions that can move mountains.
To debrief results, constructively and objectively, and give yourself honest feedback throughout the journey?
Will it support you to engage your beginners mind to stimulate your curiosity to fire on all cylinders.
Vision declarations must be created from clear, concise, and consequential positions so that any considerations or circumstances (or those unexpected rubber chickens) that show up can be squashed and course corrected.
It is typically your considerations that create the biggest obstacles and circumstances in your way. Considerations such as…
This process is too difficult
There is not enough time
I will never make this happen
I am not confident enough
My fellow teammates do not have the same sense of urgency to create
Things keep happening, here we go again
I am not sure I deserve these results
Every declared vision, once we commit to it, will create the essence of the ‘Hero’s Journey’ testing and asking us to stay the course no matter what shows up in our path. In August 2021 my blog post "The Hero's Inner Journey" will provide support as you keep your focus on the prize… your dream, your vision, your destiny!!!
The key is realizing that even though you have this amazing vision you are still living within the ordinary world where life happens. You get to hold your vision and your confidence in it to navigate through to manifestation. Additionally, your ability to respond from a place of acceptance (what is, is) rather than resistance (what is, isn’t) will allow to master your results. In 2016 I wrote a LinkedIn article on 'Respond-ability'. I trust it will support you throughout your journey.
I wish you all a very happy “Think Big” journey! Engage your "Beginners Mind".
I want to wish you all a very happy holiday season and a toast to your 2023 successful manifestations!!
My books offer insight into respond-ability, the beginner’s mind and what it takes to stay the course in acceptance while being accountable for results. They are available on Amazon in paperback, Audible and Kindle formats. "It was ME all Along, the Path to FREEDOM" and "The Dolphin Lady, the Story of a Unique Relationship”
