Vision Mapping

[batfly]

A vision map is a road map to your dream(s).   A dream is something bigger than you .  A dream is beyond your personal limitations.  Anytime you find yourself saying, "I can't do this or that" or "I don't have enough of this or that" or "I don't know how to do this or that" etc., is when you know your dream is a good one.

If you can't do this or that... then it's something you need to go outside yourself to accomplish.  It means you need a mentor.  A mentor can be another person or it can be a book or the internet, etc.  Clearly define and write those items down as integral goals of your vision map.  Those goals are further broken down into steps.  Those steps are further broken down into tasks.  Once you have all your goals, steps, and tasks clearly defined, you set desired dates of accomplishment next to each item working from the bottom up.  

Start executing the tasks to complete the steps to accomplish the goals to make the dream come true.  Make course changes on your journey by adjusting dates and adding unforeseen items as needed.   If you persist and endeavor to make the dates on your vision map, then eventually your dream will be actualized. 

Remember, anything you think of that makes you say "I can't do this or that!" becomes part of your vision map.

Great idea! I was actually thinking about something like this recently. Maybe you visualize your road to success and happiness. Plan the solutions to possible obstacles along the way.

Drawing something would be even more helpful since it really lets your mind focus on the idea. You are creating the visual yourself so it interconnects and resonates more deeply with your concious and subconcious.

I'm a graphic designer so now I have a lot of great ideas to tinker with.

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing. It's a great confidence builder. I'd suggest to SS the original post - post it on your mirror for a daily reminder.

Anyone else reading, I suggest reading the book Think and Grow Rich. Follow all the instructions in that book and your life will change.

Knowing the vision map skill is 1 %.  Getting off your ass and actually executing it is 99%.
