Writing My Vision Changed My Life!
By now, most businesswomen have heard how important having a vision is, but surprisingly many have not written their vision. This blog post is an appeal to all businesswomen who desire to accomplish their dreams and goals this year in 2011.
I started visioning approximately 15 years ago from a Bible study that I attended. You see I learned that without a vision all of my hopes and desires could not be accomplished. I had to take what was in my head, transfer it to paper and put it into action. Of course, I procrastinated, wrote eloquent sounding statements that really didn't represent me and didn't really take the time to truly explore. It was when I decided to get real with myself that I realized I didn't have a solid vision of what I wanted. So, instead of trying to visualize something far off I decided to create short-term visions that I wanted to experience in one year or less.
My first vision was that I wanted to experience paying off my debt. I saw myself not having bills coming to my mail box and I saw myself smiling that I was able to get what I wanted and pay cash for it. It became even more real as I started collecting anything that I could find on getting out of debt.
I told anybody and everybody that I was moving towards being debt free. It was this action that caused a girlfriend to call and share with me information about a workshop in Los Angeles that was at her church called, "Millionaires In Training" given by George Thompson .
My husband and I committed to taking the class and the results were astounding. In less than one year, we were able to pay off our debt and things started happening like you wouldn't believe.
It suddenly hit me that once I took my vision and made it plain and then put action to it that I was able to accomplish anything and I mean anything. Since that time, I have made visioning a vital part of my life and what I have learned from it throughout the years is absolutely miraculous. I learned that there are different levels of visioning and that once you truly embrace that you have a supernatural power to declare and accomplish anything the flood gates of opportunities start to open up to you.
So, it is my desire and hope that you read this post with an open heart and willingness to stop and take the time to write your vision.
Below are 5 Reasons Why You Must Write Your Vision:
- It glorifies God through you and acknowledges the power that resides within you to create
- Gives you clarity and self-esteem
- Liberates you and confirms that you are indeed a unique and wonderfuly made individual
- It's the beginning of manifesting your dreams and goals
- It opens up the gates of opportunities and draw all the people into your life that will help you to realize your vision.

Trina, thank you for this. This is very true. I always thought it was just words until I put it into practice.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 says "
2 Then the LORD answered me and said:
“ Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
I tried to do a dream board, but it just didn't match my personality. I only put two things on that big board before I lost interest. I have to confess that both things I put on the board manifested shortly after that time, though, so I'm not saying dream boards don't work. One day I heard a sermon based on Habakkuk, and I finally understood the importance of actually writing my visions down. It changed my life. Something different happens when pen is put to paper, and we let our visions flow.
