Is Your Vision Intense Enough to Keep You Blazing the Trail

An excerpt from Dr. Wayne Dyer's book The Power of Intension published below got me wondering if our visions (or intensions) are strong enough. Here it is again:

" ... if I set out to write a book , I keep a solid picture of the completed book in my mind, and I refuse to let that intention disappear. There's nothing that can keep me from that intention being fulfilled. Some say that I have great discipline, but I know otherwise. My unbending intent won't allow for anything but its completion to be expressed. I'm pushed, prodded, and propelled, and finally almost mystically attracted to my writing space. All waking and sleeping thoughts are focused on this picture, and I never lack for being in a state of awe at how it all comes together."

A few tips we can pull from this are:
Vision- Have a solid picture of the end result engrained in your mind
Clarity- The picture is focused on one project
Commitment- Absolutely refuse to let go of that vision... no matter what!
Determination- Nothing will stand in the way of manifesting the end result
Attraction- The solid vision serves as a magnet to motivate you into action
Confident Awareness- All waking & sleeping thoughts are around the clear vision... the ideal end result... your determined intent...and not the obstacles or challenges facing you.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
~ What one goal are you fully committed to completing?
~ What picture can you hold of that completed project that gets you so excited you can't wait to get to work on it? Be clear and detailed
~ What support structure will help you to create a habit of holding this vision and never letting go... no matter what!

What Does it Take to be 100% Committed Every Day

Whenever I post notes from our calls I always feel a little sad. It's from my inability to be able to post the synergy, enthusiasm, and all that you bring to the call. I leave with such high energy!! It also comes from knowing there's a bunch of you that missed it who didn't get to take that something with you that could propel you forward, and that we missed the value you would have brought to the call. So here are notes but know that for us to Move Beyond Limits together we have to continue to connect with others who are doing the same. Hear you next week!

"Believe deep down in your heart that you are destined to do great things." Joe Paterno
If you come from this place every day of the year how will this year be different? Many of us have a thin layer of positive thinking on top of a whole bunch of negative thinking. If you stop thinking so much, and come from a deeper place of knowing you are destined to do great things from deep in your heart... how will your year turn out different?
What does it take to be truly 100% committed every day?
  • Motivation for what you are doing- Leveraging your strengths, passions, values, etc. daily gets you in the gap. How can you set up your days so that you are living purposefully and not losing site.
  • Clear Vision- Dr Wayne Dyer gives us an example of how intense a clear vision can be. Excerpt from The Power of Intention: " ... if I set out to write a book , I keep a solid picture of the completed book in my mind, and I refuse to let that intention disappear. There's nothing that can keep me from that intention being fulfilled. Some say that I have great discipline, but I know otherwise. My unbending intent won't allow for anything but its completion to be expressed. I'm pushed, prodded, and propelled, and finally almost mystically attracted to my writing space. All waking and sleeping thoughts are focused on this picture, and I never lack for being in a state of awe at how it all comes together."
  • Have a Plan- Know what consitent daily actions you will take and build rewarding daily habits. It's hard to be committed if you don't know what to do.
  • Be Persistent- Don't quit, don't bounce around, don't lose site, don't waver. Take persistent daily actions. Example- If you try a new marketing plan give it time to work before trying something else. When obstacles get in your way, fall down and get back up.
  • Take risks- Stretch out of your comfort zone daily, set up a daily habit to take a risk daily just to strengthen that courage muscle and get comfortable with discomfort... a sign you are growing
  • Awareness- Be aware when self-limiting beliefs show up and of perceived obstacles (other people, circumstances, etc.). Strive to calibrate at higher energy levels by maintaining positive attiudes... in a place of abundance, love, peace, unity, gratitude, appreciation.
  • Manage Your Time with First Things First- What will make the greatest positive impact in your life? Work hard/ Play hard
  • Joyful Self Care- add self-care to each day...rewards, fun, quiet time, reading, exercise, foods that energize, 10 minute breaks every 90 minutes throughout the day, and say no to requests that are not in your top 3 priorities.

What I want for you is to raise your standards and be your best daily? You amaze me!

Hear you next week! ~ Beth
