Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
Denis Weightly
A Vision is the ability to have an idea, a picture of how you see yourself a little down the ways. Not a picture of what is going on right now, but of how you might see your world and yourself in your world living prosperously. For example, you would try to imagine what is going on in such a vision. How do you see yourself and who is present.
Here is something to consider about developing such a vision. It is not so much about simply imagining what you want, or how much money you think you need or what kind of objects, cars and houses you might have. There is nothing wrong with that kind of vision, however, taking an expanded definition of prosperity can introduce something new into the vision.
Try this. Ask yourself: When I am feeling generosity of spirit, and when my heart is open to receiving, and when I’m having an experience of connectedness to all life, THEN what does my world look like? What am I doing? How do I feel?

In my vision I am content and peaceful. I am "one with the veggies" and I am happy.
ReplyDeleteI am also using my gifts to inform others as the need arises, which is why I am currently in the process of writing a cookbook and have my own educational blog. This is a place for me to process my thoughts as I work on making sense of the vast earth and its inhabitants, which I am joyfully and lovingly a part of. http://coolearthtopics.blogspot.com/
