Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail! How to Manifest Your Vision?

Why would you set off on a Journey without a map, plan, and vision of where you want to end up?

Adventure you say…Well that's like closing your eyes and just hoping you will hit the bull's-eye in darts, when you really, really WANT to hit the center. Adventure may be fun when you have nothing to lose, you have all the money you want and need AND all the time to waste.

However, if you have wants and needs financially and something you want to accomplish NOW. I know you, you know you will need a roadmap and your energy put towards your ultimate goal, what it looks like completed, which is your vision.
Research show repeatedly that people who spend time to map out their goals and visions and spend the time cultivating, making them happen, get to their planned destination…As I learned on my holiday ski vacation.

Here are some helpful ways of creating that trail map to get you moving down the hill towards your vision.

I. Inventory the previous year (your last map or plan)
Allow yourself some time to explore these questions; put music on, meditate, pray or think about each one and write down what you find.
• What did you accomplish? What are you proud of?
• What are you thankful for?
• What did you not complete that you wanted to?
• What do you want your next year to look like?

II. Vision for Manifestation
Stay in that contemplative, meditative place and imagine yourself in the present year, walking through a forest path and you come across a bridge to a beautiful meadow and garden with a big pond. You bend down to look into this pond and you see your reflection and you begin seeing your present year flash in front of you; the things you accomplish, the goals you complete, the relationships you have; all the good and maybe even the challenges…flash forward it is New Years eve. You are looking at your goal sheet and you are reading off all your completed goals to a gathering of your most supportive and loving friends. They are smiling at you and clapping in celebration of your accomplishments. You feel the expanding joy inside you!

III. PLAN NOW! Or Plan to Fail!
•Write down right now what you saw…what was the big picture, what were you doing, what did you accomplish, what were you feeling???
•Now write down 1-3 goals in each of these categories you want to complete: Personal/Psychological, Health/wellness, Job/career, Financial, Spiritual, Social/Relationships, Family, Community/charity

These are the beginning steps to planning and visioning and manifesting your dreams. It my next newsletter I will show you the next steps in this process to assure that your goals get completed and your dreams fulfilled. I will show you how to take a goal to completion through my next 3 steps. Don't miss it!

Create a Plan Now to Get What You Want

To really achieve your goals, you need to create a plan so you can keep yourself on track. Creating a plan, enables you to clearly see in your mind a solid image of exactly what you want.

Making a plan can be accomplished by doing just a few things. First, you can begin by writing down exactly what it is that you want to attain.
Then, you can sort your items by what's most important to what is the least important.

Numerous items may be on your list but, in order for you to make sure that you really can get to all of them, you must choose one of them.
Now that you have chosen the most important goal to start with, it's time to break it up into smaller tasks. Small tasks are a lot easier to manage and less intimidating.

Next, ask yourself how much time it will take to complete each task. Give yourself some extra time for unforeseen emergencies and errors in judgement.
Even though sudden changes may not occur, it's always good to have a concrete idea of how you would handle the worst situation if you had to. By knowing exactly what you could be encountering, will sooth any anxieties you may feel at first, or later on.

Give your plan a reality check by deciding if it has realistic goals and schedules. Consider what it's actually like to do each step that must be done, so you can complete any given goal.

A crucial part of planning is to define your objectives so you can successfully attain what you want. Objectives help you remember why you are doing a particular task and how very important it is in the final steps to really achieving your desired goal.

Creating a plan will help you to be a better person and achieve of all your goals and dreams
