What is your Vision?
A personal vision is a broad, meaningful picture of life you want to live. This vision includes spiritual, relational, and practical validation. It gives direction and purpose toward your goals and daily actions.
How is this vision aligned with the Almighty Father? This will be the key to whether your vision takes flight and becomes reality or not. Are you making time for Yahweh God in your vision? Staying aligned with Him will help keep your vision grounded and purposeful.
Your vision should have both a long-term and short-term bullet points. It should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. I suggest having three to four bullet points per part to your vision plan. The parts include: 10 year, 10 month, 10 hours, 10 days, and 10 minutes. You can use any number there, other than 10, but I have found this to be very effective.
In a 10 year plan, there can be so many things depending upon your stage in life. Just get them down on paper. These are always a work in progress, and can change as the other parts of the plan come together where the Father leads you.
In a 10 month plan, lay out each month in terms of work, school, classes, fitness, volunteer time to develop skills, saving money, acquiring a health coach or life coach, and so forth. When you have three to four visions in the 10 year plan (buying a house, changing careers, traveling, mission work, owning properties, health, etc), then you can create the 10 month plan by the month to work toward the bigger vision. Each month will have one or two things; keep it simple and attainable.
In the 10 day part, check in with your priorities, following godly principles, performance, benefits of consistent habits, assessing, remembering to take the Sabbath to rest, finding someone who has similar visions, reflecting on progress. This coincides with the 10 hour/daily plan.
I would like to focus on the 10 hour. These can be beneficial to the bigger picture in more ways than you think, allowing the 10 day, months and years to actually occur.
โข When will you make time to pray
โข When will you study your bible today?
โข Who will you call or talk with today? (I am going to suggest steering clear of text and have a real live connection at least once a day). How will you build that relationship today?
โข How will you serve others today?
โข What will you do to develop your skills or talents toward that bigger vision?
โข What went well today? What are you grateful for today and why? Say thank you after each thing you answered here.
โข What will you look forward to tomorrow?
โข Thank the Almighty Father for your 10 hour plan and ask HIM to guide you toward your bigger vision.
The 10 minute plan is where the fun really is! Be here now! Be present. Ideas include, but are not exhaustive: read a chapter in the bible, take a stretch break, complete a chore, respond to a call, clear workspace, practice a skill or talent, step outside, help someone, silence your phone (10 minutes or more ๐), schedule an apt, play with a pet, make a shopping list, spend time in prayer (more than once a day), journal, and the list can just keep on going. Make your own list that aligns with your bigger picture, and your monthly/yearly plans.
Be Here Now, Be Present.
Let me know if I can help you. I am here for this purpose and this time and moment. I am here for you.
