Imagine the world you want to live in

Given the current state of world affairs, I think it’s an important reminder right now about how critical it is, first, to have a clear vision, and, second, to actually be living it. Your vision not only affects your life, it impacts all of humanity.

Imagine the world you want to live in

By my simple definition, a vision is “an image of the world you want to live in”. Currently, our world is at war over a clash of visions. There are those who are pushing old agendas of dominance by the few. Then there are those who are marching for a new world founded upon sovereignty for all. 

The clash of visions looks like this:

An inhumane world rife with war, tyranny, segregation, authoritarianism, oppression, plundering, and greed.

A humane world supporting love, harmony, diversity, empowerment, freedom, collaboration, and abundance.

Which of these worlds do you want to live in? Your choice is made by which vision you give your energy to.

A true vision uplifts humanity

There are visions and then there are what I call “true” visions. While each person’s vision is individual to them, a true vision is based on a fundamental truth that resonates with all humanity. It is an expression of a quality that every human desires at the core of their being. These are the types of visions I support people in realizing.

Those who promote self-aggrandizing visions are those who have not yet done the difficult inner work of facing their own truth. They believe the accrual of power will alleviate the ache of unfulfillment and dissatisfaction that churns in their belly. 

It’s easy to recognize visions that are not based in truth. They are high-handed and hierarchical. Those who hold them attempt to position themselves above others. It’s similarly easy to spot a true vision as it respects humanity as an interconnected entity. A true vision serves to uplift everyone, independent of whether they have the same outlook or not. 

Your vision becomes your reality

What makes having a true vision so vital is that what you envision actually becomes your reality. Through the power of your imagination, you summon your energy and by aligning your actions with your truth, the world around you transforms to match your vision. Over time, what begins as an abstract concept in your field of awareness actually becomes your daily lived experience.

In addition, the value of a true vision is that it:

• Grounds your life in meaning by anchoring your entire state of being in what is true for you
• Acts as a shining beacon that guides you in life so that you never feel “lost” again
• Evokes a passion of desire that summons your energy, which serves you in the creation of your work
• Simplifies decision-making by being a clear marker of what you and your life stand for
• Gives you a sense of inner peace because you have certainty about the reason why you are here
• Boosts your confidence in the knowledge that your existence in the world matters
• Makes your work satisfying in knowing that you are making your genuine contribution to humanity

You have a role to play in the dramatic unfolding of our current reality. What is needed now more than ever on our planet are people with a true vision who have the willingness to take action to realize their vision so that we all may experience a blessed new world.
