I'm going 10 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:05.840 to start with prayer here right now. And I'll bring up a worksheet, we're going to be doing 11 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:13.160 something that I have really seen create powerful shift over this last couple of weeks since 12 00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:17.880 we saw each other, there's been amazing things happening. And so we're going to work on it 13 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:23.240 here. And then you'll have time to work on it on on your worksheets. And we'll get back 14 00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:28.560 together and and really talk about it. And I'll make some announcements about all the exciting 15 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:38.280 things for for September. So let's just start with prayer. Oh, Father God. So grateful. So 16 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:45.200 grateful that your mercies are new every day that your love never fails that you never leave us 17 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:54.480 you never forsake us, that we all have a future and a hope that you are the resurrected Christ 18 00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:01.760 who lives in us and in you, we live and move and have our being. I ask that the words of my mouth 19 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:08.800 the meditation of my heart, Father, they'll glorify you they'll be filled with the anointing 20 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.360 and the power of heaven to bring transformation to every single woman listening here tonight and 21 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:23.360 in the future. Lord may it advance them may it advance their faith may it advance their income 22 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:32.160 and abundance may it advance their impact may it advance their joy may it advance their their 23 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:40.800 sense of peace and community Lord may your word go forth as it never returns void we give you the 24 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:51.520 glory and the honor in Jesus name amen and amen all right I'm going to pop up the slide here but 25 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:59.040 I need to share the screen first so let's do that and then I'll pop this up and you should all 26 00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.240 somebody Tracy give me a thumbs up I can see your smiling face can you see the can you see the 27 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:10.400 the notes all right good all right beautiful uh what I want to share with you that has really 28 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.560 happened this week is God has been leading me to ask the women that I coach and I've been coaching 29 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.360 some very high power women this week and God has been asking me actually over the last two weeks to 30 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:35.040 say do you have your vision statement in writing and the answer has been no and uh we've done it 31 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:40.800 together and I'm going to give you the tools how I go about it and I'm happy in between we can be 32 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:48.960 sharing this and reviewing it together um give you feedback uh they did it they did the work 33 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:54.640 and with feedback they refined it and they came back and they refined it again and they ended up 34 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.360 with a written vision statement now I was hoping one of them would be on both of them would be on 35 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:10.480 tonight but they're not um one of them sent me an exciting uh voice message and I transcribed it 36 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.560 and this is what she said she says I've had so many breakthroughs and she was just going forward 37 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.240 she goes I've had breakthroughs in my business I feel like I have such clarity where I'm going 38 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.680 what I'm going to offer I also had a breakthrough in relationships a breakthrough in my personal 39 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:35.280 life a breakthrough in my spiritual life and she says once I got the vision down it just clarified 40 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:42.720 a lot of other things she said I look back at the time that we worked on my vision as the catalyst 41 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:51.360 so I want to thank you now this is um what begins to happen it spills over you know there's a saying 42 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:59.920 how you do one thing is is how you do all things right and um so so what you see is that as 43 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.200 you write a vision, be it a personal vision, a business vision, both of the visions, it spills 44 00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:13.840 over into all the other areas. So I had another powerful business leader. She's a coach. 45 00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:19.360 Her business does 2 million a year right now, positioned really to go to 5 or 10. 46 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:28.320 And as we developed her vision and actually got it out of her head and into writing, 47 00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:36.320 the first thing she did was take it back to her team. Her team was thrilled. They had such a 48 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:40.080 sense of direction. There was such a sense of community. They literally were saying, 49 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:44.400 this is what we've been waiting for. This is what we've been looking for. So this happened, 50 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:49.440 you know, things kind of come in sequences with me when God's, you know, teaching things, right? 51 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.440 And so this happened several times. And so that's why you've probably noticed if you get my 52 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:59.440 newsletter and you've probably noticed in different places that I've been talking a lot 53 00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:06.160 about vision lately and because it's really popping up. I feel that God is deliberately, 54 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.160 you know, bringing attention to this. And so of course I wanted to bring it, 55 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:20.320 wanted to bring it here. So in Habakkuk 2.2, it says, write the vision and make it plain. 56 00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:28.560 So the one who sees it may run with it. There's a lot of components there. The first thing is, 57 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.080 it's not enough to be in your head. The first thing spirit, you know, told Habakkuk is write 58 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:38.720 it. You've got to write the vision. It's not enough to think, you know, it not enough to just, 59 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:45.920 you know and, and sometimes it's, it's very fuzzy. Like I have a lot of clients that have done, 60 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.560 you know, the different dream builder, you know, events and things like that. And so they've got 61 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.880 like these massive pages and pages of dreams. That's not what I'm talking about. When I say 62 00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:02.160 your vision statement, I'm talking about a Habakkuk 2.2 vision statement, which means 63 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:12.240 you've written it and it's plain and those who see it are able to run with it. They get clarity, 64 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:21.920 they get direction, they get focus. And so the truth is that who's, when you look at Habakkuk 2.2, 65 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.360 write the vision, make it plain. The one who sees it may run with it. Who's the first person 66 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:41.680 that sees it? You, me. Yeah. Point at yourself, right? And so what happens is that as you see it, 67 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.320 you're going to start seeing a fueling and inspiration and excitement and a passion. 68 00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:54.560 I literally watched, I do these, you know, I do breakthrough business intensives, right? And so 69 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.400 I'll spend three, four, five hours with a woman. And literally when we write the vision statement, 70 00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:06.240 you can see the entire energy change. It's just like something, it's like, it's like the 71 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.440 electricity got put into the socket. You know, you can have a plug, but if it's not plugged in, 72 00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:22.880 it's no good. It's just a plug, right? And so what happens is that as the vision gets put into 73 00:08:22.880 --> 00:08:31.280 writing, there is neurocircuitry that happens in your own brain. And then there is interpersonal 74 00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:38.080 circuitry. It's literally like plugging into the socket. And so there's new levels of inspiration. 75 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.679 There's new levels of inner excitement. There's new levels of passion that happen. And I'm seeing 76 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:49.200 it in every single woman. It wasn't a rare exception. And so one of the things that 77 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.560 happens when it says write the vision and make it plain is that there's this clarity. 78 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:00.160 There's this direction, make it plain. The idea of a good vision statement. It's not a, 79 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:06.800 it's not a five or 10 pages of dreaming. Okay. It's not that that's fun. Go ahead, 80 00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:13.360 fill your journal with all the dreams. It's not that when, when you look at this, it should give 81 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:22.560 clarity and it should give direction. And it becomes like a North star to help you make good 82 00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:29.440 choices and good decisions. So the first example that I read you, her testimony, she was really 83 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.640 trying to figure out, like, there was a lot of like, like there is right now. I mean, how many 84 00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:40.800 of you have all kinds of like things coming at you? Like maybe things you could buy, maybe courses 85 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:45.680 you could take, maybe groups you could join, like, you know, raise your hand. How many of you have a 86 00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:53.120 lot of stuff coming at you right now, people you could hire any of you, you know? And, and so what 87 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.040 ends up happening? Yeah. You guys do have a little reaction button on the bottom that you can show 88 00:09:57.040 --> 00:10:00.000 your hand being raised. And so I see some of you giving me that. 89 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.440 response. So what was happening for her, she's like, should I just use this and promote someone 90 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:17.280 else's course? Should I write my own? Should I be joining this? Should I launch this now? 91 00:10:17.280 --> 00:10:24.000 Is this the right time? Should I offer this? All this stuff that's kind of floating out there. 92 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.720 Well, guess what? When you have a kick 2-2, you write the vision, you make it plain, 93 00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:34.560 then it becomes a North Star. Does it line up with the vision? And so I asked her after she 94 00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:38.640 had written this particular one I'm talking about, after she'd written it, I said, okay, 95 00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:44.800 now let's go back to the questions. Does joining this other company and marketing their stuff, 96 00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:50.880 does it fit with the vision you just wrote? She goes, no. Does this one? No. She goes, 97 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:55.360 I have such clarity. And all the breakthroughs started coming. And then she started like 98 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.120 getting a release as to what she was going to offer and how she was going to do it and the 99 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:04.000 strategies. I mean, she's just like, you know, exploding this one, this one example. So, 100 00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:10.880 so it inspires you first, it fuels you, and then it gives you a sense of clarity and direction. 101 00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:15.840 And then it helps you make good choices and decisions. So you're not just like being driven 102 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:22.400 to and fro. There's too much of that going on right now. Everybody's just like, people aren't 103 00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:31.360 going straight for something. And so it's going to give you this line. And then when times are 104 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:36.080 tough and things don't seem like they're working, or you wonder if you really have what it takes, 105 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.880 or you're feeling down, you go back to the vision and you pray back into the vision. 106 00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:46.400 And you ask God to show you more about the vision and that vision will refuel you. So 107 00:11:46.400 --> 00:11:54.160 the vision will also give you the stick-to-it-ness to persevere. If you saw the Sunday email that I 108 00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:01.680 sent out to Sunday edition, I talked about Paul, like Paul of Tarsus was so clear his vision, 109 00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:06.560 that it didn't matter if he got stoned and shipwrecked and snake bit. It didn't matter 110 00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:14.640 because his eye was on the ball. It was on the vision, right? So first you get inspired. 111 00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:21.040 And then second, if it's a family mission vision, the family gets inspired. If it's the team, 112 00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:26.560 like I said, I have this big company and they're coaching businesses doing a couple million a year. 113 00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:34.560 The whole team got inspired and they began to eliminate things and add things and really make 114 00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:40.640 shifts so that everything lined up with the vision. You see the founder had the vision in her 115 00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:49.840 head and she was a great leader, but it wasn't being spoken clearly to the entire team or to 116 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:57.280 the clients and customers. And so clients and friends and associates will be inspired. And by 117 00:12:57.280 --> 00:13:06.560 the way, people will follow a vision. They will donate time to a vision. They will donate money 118 00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:14.400 to a vision. Over the years with companies that I've had it and with Prosper, without ever asking 119 00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:22.160 because people know the vision, I've had them bring me checks and they say, this is for 120 00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:28.720 the vision. And I mean, I've had out of the blue, just $25,000, $50,000. This is for the vision. 121 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.920 The Lord spoke to us, you know, $500 here. This is for the vision. So, so your clients are going to 122 00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:42.800 be inspired. You're going to be inspired. Your team's going to be inspired. And also what will 123 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:49.360 begin to happen is people will volunteer time. They'll volunteer money. They will follow a vision. 124 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:55.840 You get bigger than you just running around chasing. Okay. And so that's the kind of the 125 00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:02.080 background. And so a vision should be like three to 10 years out. It's, and then you're going to 126 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:09.280 put it in present tense, but you're going to make it big enough. And I, I love what Bill Gates said. 127 00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:16.000 I'm not a big fan of Bill, but he has wisdom here. And he says, most people 128 00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:25.840 overestimate what they can do in one year. And they underestimate what they can do in 10 years. 129 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:31.920 So when you have a 10 year vision, you're, you know, where you need to be in a year. You're not 130 00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:36.880 trying to shove everything that you want to accomplish this year. And then you're so disappointed 131 00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:42.320 that things aren't moving so fast. When you have the big picture, you get a proper perspective. 132 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:54.160 George Barna defined vision as a clear mental image of a preferable future imparted by God 133 00:14:54.800 --> 00:15:00.000 and based upon an accurate understanding of God, yourself, and 134 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.500 under your circumstances. 135 00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:04.300 So what I love about that is that your vision 136 00:15:04.300 --> 00:15:07.540 is a statement of a preferred future. 137 00:15:07.540 --> 00:15:10.780 And it's a statement of I'm partnering with God 138 00:15:10.780 --> 00:15:15.780 and this is what I feel God wants to do in and through me. 139 00:15:16.020 --> 00:15:17.940 So remember some of the things 140 00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:20.040 that we've covered here at Prosper. 141 00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:24.580 The first thing we always remember is that God is in me. 142 00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:27.900 Scripture says I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit, right? 143 00:15:27.900 --> 00:15:30.900 Christ in me, the hope of glory, right? 144 00:15:30.900 --> 00:15:32.540 I have the mind of Christ. 145 00:15:32.540 --> 00:15:35.660 So God is in me, all right? 146 00:15:35.660 --> 00:15:40.660 So we're coming from this place of God is my source 147 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.780 because God is in me. 148 00:15:41.780 --> 00:15:44.220 I have access to all wisdom, all understanding, 149 00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:46.300 all peace, all knowledge, all love, 150 00:15:46.300 --> 00:15:48.060 everything I could possibly need. 151 00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:52.420 It's coming from God who is my source within me. 152 00:15:52.420 --> 00:15:55.340 This eliminates the striving of trying to get 153 00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:58.940 and get and get and feeling like and so on. 154 00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:03.420 So as this comes out through you, your prayer becomes, 155 00:16:03.420 --> 00:16:08.020 Lord, I wanna be a channel for you. 156 00:16:08.020 --> 00:16:13.020 Coach through me, write through me, speak through me, 157 00:16:14.380 --> 00:16:18.060 love through me, heal through me. 158 00:16:18.060 --> 00:16:20.300 So you are simply, 159 00:16:20.300 --> 00:16:23.160 you're not trying to get something to you, 160 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:28.040 you're releasing what's already in you as a channel, 161 00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:33.040 God being the source and the source being in me, in you. 162 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.520 And we are a channel where we release it. 163 00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:40.860 Now I put in your worksheet, 164 00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:43.640 you'll have this in your box. 165 00:16:43.640 --> 00:16:47.960 I put both a personal and a business. 166 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.500 Not all of you have businesses. 167 00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:52.720 Some of you may only be writing personal. 168 00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:55.680 Some of you may really be wanting to focus 169 00:16:55.680 --> 00:16:57.840 on the business right now. 170 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.120 So the personal vision statement, again, 171 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.079 it acts as the North Star. 172 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.440 The personal vision statement is basically 173 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.920 how you're committed to living your life. 174 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.599 Like what really matters? 175 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.599 As you're on the planet, what are you committed to doing? 176 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.599 And so your personal vision brings all of the areas 177 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.480 of your life, right? 178 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.460 It brings your spiritual, your faith. 179 00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:22.240 It brings your physical, your health. 180 00:17:22.760 --> 00:17:24.079 It brings your family, right? 181 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.180 Your legacy. 182 00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:27.000 It brings your recreation. 183 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.400 It brings your relationship and it brings your career. 184 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.400 So it brings all the areas in your life. 185 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.000 Your personal vision brings all of that together. 186 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.600 And remember, I've talked to you 187 00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:41.920 that you can have an inner locus of control 188 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.200 or an outer locus of control. 189 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.440 Having a personal vision statement is one of the ways 190 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.200 that you are having an inner, 191 00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:53.240 you're being directed, inner directed. 192 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:58.240 Instead of reacting and making reactive decisions, 193 00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:01.160 you're being led by principles. 194 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.000 You're being led by a vision. 195 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.120 You're being led by standards. 196 00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:08.600 You're being led by purpose, right? 197 00:18:08.600 --> 00:18:11.480 Because remember, you're either building your life 198 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.080 by design or by default. 199 00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:16.040 There's only two choices. 200 00:18:16.040 --> 00:18:18.120 Everything that you do, your day, 201 00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:21.240 you're living your day by design. 202 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.120 It's been prayed out, it's been planned, 203 00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:25.640 it's being walked out, it's being built by design 204 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.880 according to your values, your principles, 205 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:29.760 what God has shown you. 206 00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:32.120 Or you're living it by default, 207 00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:34.360 which is where most people are. 208 00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:37.160 Whatever happens, they're like a pinball, 209 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:38.440 you know, in the pinball machine. 210 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.840 And they, you know, they get hit 211 00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:41.880 and they bounce off of that and they get taken over here 212 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.840 and they bounce off of that and they get taken over here 213 00:18:43.840 --> 00:18:44.680 and they bounce off of that. 214 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.000 Are any of you old enough to remember pinball machines? 215 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.360 And so, you know, that's how a lot of people 216 00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:52.200 are living their life. 217 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.240 They just keep hitting this and then they go over here 218 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.240 and then they react and then, no, no, no, 219 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:01.160 that's not what we're doing here as Prosper Women. 220 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.040 We're committing together as we link arms, 221 00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:05.840 we're committing that, you know what? 222 00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:09.440 My life is gonna be built by design, not by default. 223 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:12.840 I'm not gonna be living in constant reaction. 224 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.600 So you're either making your daily choices 225 00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:20.080 and your daily actions and your daily decisions, 226 00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:22.720 you're either making them consciously, 227 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.000 that means you're choosing. 228 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.640 Remember I taught you how to say, I choose, I chose. 229 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.880 That's conscious or unconsciously. 230 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.280 You either believe that life's just happening to you 231 00:19:34.280 --> 00:19:36.840 and you're a victim being bounced around 232 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:38.800 by the waves of the sea, 233 00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:42.960 or you believe that life is happening through you 234 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.040 by the choices that you make and the actions that you take 235 00:19:46.040 --> 00:19:47.760 and the words that you speak. 236 00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:52.760 That's taking your power back and living consciously, okay? 237 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.000 And so when you have a vision statement, 238 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.840 you start having big picture, 239 00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:00.240 you start having long-term. 240 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.880 term thinking as opposed to again, Oh, I got a problem. How am I going to solve it? Okay. 241 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.080 Now, how do I get out of this mess? How do I solve that? Okay. Now, now what I do, you 242 00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:14.080 know, I was just listening to a kid today that was in this reactionary mode. Well now 243 00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:18.240 what I do, just tell me what to do. Well now, how do I go? Well, how do I solve this problem? 244 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.840 I need to get out of this pain. Most people are like that. They're just trying to like 245 00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:28.760 get out of the next pain out of the next problem, right? It's not visionary leadership, right? 246 00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:34.420 And so that's why we're doing this, this exercise. And so you, you pray, you think about the 247 00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:40.400 top values that are really important that you want to live by. I have that values worksheet. 248 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:45.800 If you haven't done that, um, you circle the main values on, on the page and you start 249 00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:50.720 thinking about the difference that you feel called, you know, there's, it's that thing 250 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:56.880 that never leaves you. It's that, it's that thing that just keeps coming up that you know 251 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.240 you're supposed to do. It's the difference you're supposed to bring to the world, right? 252 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:06.960 And then you make sure that like Tony Robbins calls it a beehive, right? A big, hairy, audacious 253 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.520 goal, right? You know, uh, make sure that you stretch it, that this is not small because 254 00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:17.440 God is not small. Stretch it just like God had to stretch Abraham and he stretches each 255 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:23.040 one of us. Okay. And then you can add the mission statement, which is the, how you're 256 00:21:23.040 --> 00:21:29.860 going to accomplish. So here's one that, um, could be an example of a personal vision 257 00:21:29.860 --> 00:21:34.480 and it's, it's just kind of thrown together a little bit, but some components that might 258 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:39.640 be in one that I, I just put together to give you some sampling all in one. So here would 259 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:47.560 be a personal vision. Love is my highest guiding principle. First Corinthians 13 one, if I 260 00:21:47.560 --> 00:21:53.160 have not love, I'm nothing. Okay. So this particular vision, the, the North star would 261 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:57.560 be, I've got to look at everything through the filter. Is this, is this based on love 262 00:21:57.560 --> 00:22:01.840 or is this based on fear? Right? Course in miracles. Everything's either love based or 263 00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:07.920 fear based. There's only two tracks, right? And so that's how this vision opens. You can 264 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.000 see how that would already get clear. When you go to do something, you go, okay, am I 265 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.560 making this choice out of fear? Cause I'm afraid I'm going to run out or lack or this 266 00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:21.280 or that, or am I making this out of love? Right? So love is my highest guiding principle. 267 00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:28.480 I choose to see life as a precious gift and live with gratitude and wonder. So that's 268 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:33.640 a, that's a way of living. That's a way of showing up. I will strive to live and make 269 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:41.320 all decisions from a place of love instead of fear and abundance instead of lack. Right? 270 00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:45.960 So, you know, I'm putting some of my personal things that are part of my personal vision, 271 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:51.800 right? So I always have said, I will not make any decision based on fear or lack, never 272 00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:56.320 make a decision based on fear or lack. Right? So that you put that into your vision statement 273 00:22:56.320 --> 00:23:03.040 as an example. Okay. I will live each day as an instrument of God, knowing he gives 274 00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:08.720 me the wisdom, power, and understanding. I commit to being transformed by the renewing 275 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:16.320 of my mind and being a lifelong student of personal growth and developing my gifts and 276 00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:22.160 talents. Okay. So again, that's a type of North star, you know, are you, did you finish 277 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.680 in high school or college and then you're done and you never read another book? That's 278 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.640 one way of people living. Others that say, you know what, I'm committed to reading 15 279 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.920 minutes every day. I'm committed to doing one book a week. You know, that would be part 280 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.120 of it. That's part of your vision. You keep yourself accountable. Again, how you're spending 281 00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:45.400 your time. I will treat my body as the temple of the Holy spirit and only consume that which 282 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.120 is life giving. So that, that becomes another kind of North star. When you go to do something, 283 00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:57.540 is this giving life or is it taking away life? Right? Um, I will look at my financial blessings 284 00:23:57.540 --> 00:24:04.240 and possessions as a gift from God to be stewarded, including the regular practice of tithing. 285 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.800 Is that part of your vision is your vision to, you know, be able to tie the million dollars 286 00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:14.560 or whatever, right? I choose to leave a legacy of love and healing for my family and make 287 00:24:14.560 --> 00:24:19.920 a difference in this world. I commit to being the best wife and mother, as well as member 288 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:26.160 of my church community and world to have my actions match my words by discipline and the 289 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:33.000 grace of God, to seek first to understand before being understood and treat every person 290 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:40.560 I meet as unique, valuable, made in the image of God and worthy of respect. That, that sentence, 291 00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:43.960 that last sentence could be the vision all by itself. Like the first sentence could be 292 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:49.280 the vision all by itself. Um, the second, the last one, I put a lot in this to give 293 00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:56.480 you ideas of some of the things that could be in a, a vision statement. Okay.
