In revisiting the title story of the book, your life vision is “the great mountain.” It’s your intended destination — the life you really want to be living. There are two questions we continually ask ourselves (whether or not we’re conscious of it): where is this mountain located, and how do we get there?
Whether it’s visioning for a creative project, a business, or your life, the basic principles involved are always the same.
Pure and simple, you “vision” to get clear about what you want to create. You are envisioning what it will look like when your ideas are in full form. If you’re not clear on what you want, how can you possibly create it? You’ll just move through the world with some vague idea of what you’d like to have, but it will most likely stay just that, vague.
No matter what specific process you use, visioning should accomplish the following:
+ Provide clarity about what you want to create
+ Clarify what you don’t want to create
+ Create a basic “road map” to work from
By going through a visioning process, many times it will reveal that, what you thought you wanted, isn’t actually it. Therefore your primary objective is always clarity.
