Your Vision?

What does your vision do? Does it give you energy? Does it make you smile? Does it get you up in the morning? When you're tired, does it take you that extra mile? A vision should be judged by these criteria, the criteria of power and effectiveness. WHAT DOES IT DO?

Out of the Box...

Most of us tend to look at our challenges from inside a box. We take what we've done in the past and put it in front of our eyes and then try to envision what we call "the future." But that restricts our future. With that restricted view, the best future can be is a "new and better past."
Great motivational energy occurs when we get out of the box and assume that the possibilities for creative ideas are infinite. To realize the best possible future for yourself, don't look at it through a box containing your own past.

relate...

In relationships most of us think with our emotions rather than our minds. But to think with our feelings instead of our minds puts us in an unresourceful state that Colin Wilson, describes as being upside-down. When we view relationships as opportunities for creativity, they always get better. When our relationships get better, we as individuals become more motivated than we may already be!

Any time you take a relationship problem into your mind, you have unlimited opportunities to get creative. Conversely, when you send a relationship problem down the elevator into the lower half of the heart, you risk staying stuck in the problem forever. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't feel anything...feel everything!! Be sure and notice your feelings. Just don't think with them. When there's a relationship problem to be solved, travel up your ladder to the most creative you. You'll soon realize that we create the relationships we have in our lives; they don't just happen.
"We are each of us angels with only one wing" said the Italian artist Luciano de Crescenzo, "and we can only fly embracing each other."

Ponder... The world's best kept secret is that on the other side of your fear is something safe and beneficial waiting for you. If you pass through even a thin curtain of fear you will increase the confidence you have in your ability to create your life.
