Goal Setting Part 3: Vision

VISION.... insert eyeballs here...

This is the most intimidating part of this journey so far.  Vision is a 6 letter word with high impact, broad yet narrow, wide yet focused.  Which is not terrifying at all....

Here is what Lara says: Write out your 2014 Vision.  You can do this in whatever way you feel most connected to.  A few questions you can choose from to get you writing:

• What kind of life do you want to live this year?  realistic yet full of adventure 
• Where do you want to be when you’re 80? living near the ocean, grandkids crawling all over my lap,  madly in love with my husband, able to look back with a grateful heart, worshiping Jesus
• WHY do you do what you do? At the core of my being I am a woman.  I am a wife.  I am a mom. I  teach because it allows me to be passionate for students to love learning, but be at home as much as I can with my family.  
• What is your mission? To find my anchor, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.
• What is your CORE? truth, ability to self reflect and be the best advocate for myself.

In 2014 I will seek to be anchored in truth so that I may strengthen my mind, body and soul.  To find my best self. 

STEP 8: What is NOT in your vision?  What are you saying NO to?

BONUS STEP! Pick a core word for 2014. What one word really resonates with you for the coming year?  

My Word!!!!!  anchor n. noun
