Personal Development For Those Who Dare!

This great blog has a treasure-trove of articles that are direct and clear. Speaking from experience, that can be hard to achieve in the blog-o-sphere.

Here's an example from a recent post (Create A Vision You Can Be Excited About):

The expansion of an idea into a vision that inspires action adds up to achievement. Everything created began with an idea that was developed into a vision that inspired action.

Pow! This is critical information for students of the Law of Attraction.

5 ways a vision helps produce what you want:

1- Unlimited Results- Bill Gates had a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home. This became the early vision for Microsoft. I wonder how much slower Microsoft would have developed if his original vision was limited. A vision expands the possibilities.

2- Focus & Guidance- A clear picture of the end result helps you maintain focus on what is most important. Thoughts direct actions so it makes sense that holding a vision of what will make the greatest positive impact will help guide your actions in the direction that will make the greatest positive difference.

3- Manifestation- The creation of something valuable begins with an idea nurtured thru towards realization. Visions are not always manifested in our time frame. MLK’s vision has not been fully manifested, yet monumental strides continue to be made towards it. Imagine how many would have suffered if his vision was small. A vision sets the intention for the manifestation of what you want.

4- Motivation- An inspiring vision based on who you are motivates daily into action. The vision can be based on:

~ a talent such as a singer who has a vision to win American Idol,

~ a cause such as Peace Pilgrim who walked for 28 years and over 25,000 miles to bring about peace,

~ a passion such as a gardener who wants to develop a landscape business,

~ a strength such as a sales person who can sell a Mets jersey to a Yankees fan to be Salesman of the Year for his/her company.

5- High quality decisions- Being clear about what is most important long term can help you make better decisions when new choices and opportunities present themselves.

Good stuff!!
