Since the No Nonsense Goals masterclass that I attended last week I
have been in deep reflection mode, designing my dream life goals, thanks to the
30 day online inner circle that I am part of. In my journey I
realised that I have SMART goals, a SMART Vision board, a business vision but no tight defined vision
statement or story to really actualise my personal goals and life. A vision is so important because
it inspires us to focus on what matters. It also provides clarity for the
future and ensures that everything we are doing now is working towards our
future vision.
There are barriers to visioning though and I faced them too.
1. We
stop visioning from childhood. We thought our dreams were too big or
unrealistic
2. Visioning
is a skill that most people don’t practice but the more we practice the better
we become
3. We fear failure but we can eliminate this thinking by saying 'there are no failures
but lessons learned'
4. We
think a vision has to be perfect. Hears the good news. It doesn’t.
After this week online session and to my delight I came up
with my own personal vision story (which is still a work in progress) and I wanted to share the steps that I took.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST
The first step was to list the top ten things that
matter most to me. After listing them I regrouped them and discovered 6 things
that are most important to me. If you know me well enough you’ll probably be
able to mention about 3 of them. I will go ahead and list three of them. 1. Love 2. Self- Worth 3. Communication. And you will probably realise that a lot of the things I do in life whether business or personal are centered around those values.
CHUNK VALUES INTO GROUPS
After I listed my 6 top values, I grouped them in importance
and rated them out of 10 on how strong I am and what steps if any to improve
the lower scores. For example, communication is a strong value of mine and I get very frustrated when there are barriers. One of the ways I can overcome those frustrations is by asking more questions and seek to understand before being understood.
WRITE PERSONAL VISION STORY
After the above task, I was ready to write my vision
story. I used all the words in my values like love, self-worth and communication to create the kind of vision I want to
see for my life in the future.
I am excited because I have literally created and
designed my dream life. But I am still on a journey and still in the 30 day
inner group so there’s more to learn. My vision story can be tweeked but at least I have started it. It doesnt end at writing a vision story. I read it daily along with affirmations to really bring my vision to reality.
How about you? Have you set a personal vision statement
or story for your life or business? It’s really worth creating one.
