Vision: Part 2

Recently on our Instagram and in our first blog about vision this month, we talked about how at The Whiteboard Room, we like to focus on the character of a person when we discuss their vision for their life.

And honesty, vision is one of those things that can be challenging to explain in wide strokes or break down into simple steps. When we talk about vision with our clients one-on-one, it can be daunting. I often find that clients, when I ask them what type of person they want to be, start thinking about what they are lacking.  Who they are not. What they haven't done. They start to think, “Well, I want to be disciplined. But I’m not. I want to be a person of wisdom, but I don’t feel wise.” 

Here is something we often get stuck believing, the thing that keeps us from moving forward in our goals or pursuing our mission:

I can’t do what I am meant to do until ___________,

And then we fill in the blank. 

But having a vision for who you want to be isn’t about what you are lacking or where you aren’t. 

These things that you desire to be are at the core of who you are. There is a reason you are drawn towards these values. It is because the seed is already there. It is meant to express what is already within you. Putting words to that vision of yourself gives you a level of awareness and intention in your own growth journey.  

It doesn’t matter what format you use or process you use to get there, what matters is that you have something to anchor you. 

Who you are becoming is already in you, and you can do what you are meant to do right now.

Just as you are. Right where you are.
