The Heartbeat of Resilience: Vision and Meaning

Part Two Crafting A Meaningful Life Vision

So what does this have to do with you, the answer is everything, if you want it to be more resilient; developing stronger resilience, doesn’t just apply to severe traumatic experiences but to everyday life and the pressures we face on a daily basis. We never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball, so having these skills, also help prepare, when life happens, whether it be, redundancy, ill health, moving home, starting a business, family relationships, losing a business and everything in-between.  

 So what is Vision?

Having vision, can be seen as an inner compass that guides you through your life journey and shapes the decisions you make along away. Having a compelling vision, will enable you stay on track, when a road bump in the road appears, illuminating away forward in the darkest of moments and inspiring you to take courageous action to achieve your goals and dreams. 

One way to discover your life vision is to complete and an exercise, such a creating a personal vision statement. There are many good examples on line, I have found this one to be helpful, if you prefer, just send me a little note, and I will be happy to send you a copy of Personal Life Vision Blueprint, I use with clients. Yes please Marie, I would love a copy of your Personal Life Vision Blueprint

Writing a personal vision Statement can be both rewarding fun, and very revealing, to help you chart your life path.
