Share your vision. Share your thoughts, values, beliefs. Yesterday I had an opportunity to speak with someone I met at a speaking engagement 10 years ago. They reached out to me and walked me through a recent disappointment they had experienced. In a nut shell, they had a mentor that really let them down by their actions. As we talked I found more and more that the vision her mentor had was not at all in line with anything she wanted to pursue or believed in. Honestly, that will almost always end in disappointment. Why wouldn't they want to chase a vision, a dream, a goal that mattered to them? The answer, which we hear often, "It's too far fetched". Followed by, "I can't do it". We often give in before we even begin to try. We don't allow ourselves the experience for fear of failure. Then we latch on to someone else's idea of success. We love their dream, adopt their way of thinking, only to find ourselves standing alone once they achieve it with nothing of our own to chase. Everyone is capable of achieving, stretching, chasing. There are no unrealistic goals, only unrealistic limits we put on ourselves. The desire to excel begins with understanding what matters to us personally. What do we want? Why do we want it? What will it mean to us when we achieve it? Maybe you inspire others. Maybe you become the mentor guiding others not to live your vision, but to create their own. Maybe you inspire someone by chasing after things beyond your reach with a determination to reach them. Maybe you realize nothing is too far fetched if you believe in yourself and your potential. You can have a vision. We all can. "Vision is the world's most desperate need. There are no hopeless situations, only people who think hopelessly." (Winifred Newman)
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you allow yourself to create a vision. Coupled with God as your guide anything is possible and everything is within reach.
Have a blessed, safe, and healthy day everyone.
