Envision: Many Roads


Musing           
True vocation is  “where your talents and the needs of the world cross”. -- Aristotle

Having a vision for your creative expression, for meaningful work, or a fulfilled life does not have to be some lofty nor laborious process. It absolutely is generated from your wellspring within- it’s a matter of paying attention and setting intention. Imagine a crossroads: your expression offered through your hands to others on the horizontal axis – what you love and are passionate about (heart) inspired by your imagination (mind) and spirit on the vertical axis. The possibilities and variations are infinite: thus this crossroad can lead to many roads. The world needs us all.

Kate’s Turn:  
Previously I wrote about using a vision board to capture the envisioning process. Another way to kindle the vibrations of imagination is using a journaling process with a Pray Rain Journal (Martha Beck, author and life coach). In her newsletter, Martha explains: “A Pray Rain Journal is basically a written vision board in the form of a small journal. Get yourself a very small empty notebook. Each day, write a page as if you were living your ideal life and are journaling about it. Use present tense and write about all the wonderful things that are happening and the ramifications of every event.”

This process has increased my visioning process, for each entry can have its own down-the-road outcome. It keeps my musing in passion and joy, while playing out many possible paths where that expression is received by my world. I enjoy writing, I love dreaming, and cultivating possibilities that are my ideal is a fun way to pay attention/set intention for future realities. My curiosity gets piqued to see where this road just might lead me.

Get Fired Up:   
How can your joy in offering your passion and talent contribute to your world around you? Step out on one of those roads………now step out again…………and again………and again. Have fun on the journey, and let what you love lead you forth.
