Vision?

What do you do with vision?

How do you move your ideas forward?

In what ways do you analyze, refine, and challenge your own vision?  A vision by one can often be incomplete, flawed, and narrow.

Also, a vision shared with too much drama, strength, and resolve can serve to turn people off, diminish, and halt the potential vision holds.

As I think today, I think we must hold vision like precious clay, molding and shaping as we move forward.  Share the sculpture that is vision with others in gentle ways, seeking response, and adapting when we see opportunity for forward movement and growth.

Our vision is most powerful through words, images, and actions that others can see on their own terms, and in their own time, but not words, images, and actions posed like a campaign signs, rants, or battle.

Vision is a light we seek, find, follow, and bend to meet the needs of our hearts, minds, and dreams--a promise for a better future, kinder world, and peaceful people.

What is your vision?  How will you sculpt this dream to make it a reality? With what care will you share your vision, and whom will you allow to help mold and morph the view?

In what ways will you meet the naysayers of your vision?  I suggest you meet them with respect and questions letting them help you to see your vision's weakness, constraints, and potential for growth.  Engage naysayers in gentle conversation, leaving time for thought and review.

Vision is a gift, fragile because without care vision does not result in positive effect and change, yet with care, vision is a precious gift that has the potential to make substantial, positive change and effect.

Vision is a light, and should be shared as such--available to illuminate and bend, follow and seek.

Walk confidently towards your vision, and regard the vision of others, old and young, with care. Collect and integrate the people, places, materials, and actions that will make your vision a reality, and become the stream of light that is your vision--the morphing energy of intent and life.
