Practical Tips to Bring Your Vision to Life

It is imperative to engage ALL of your senses in the dreaming process. You want to hear, see, smell, taste, and feel your preferred future state. So many dreams are cut short because people only vaguely engage with them. This is a surefire way to keep your dreams and your reality separate.
The greatest leaders in human history fully envisioned life 20 years down the line. They were experiencing the future in the present.
They saw it, tasted it, smelled it, touched it, and felt it.
It was so alive for them that it was only a matter of time before it became a reality.
My friend and I returned home from a vision trip and talked about how our plans were becoming more real. It felt good to recuperate and gain more knowledge in hindsight of the trip. At that point, we knew we needed to recalibrate and spend some time envisioning. Branching off on our own, we went to be silent, to pray, and to think through our plans, engaging all of our senses.
Here is a common example of how this dream process works. An expecting mother or father will think about their child well before their physical arrival. They wonder what their child will look and sound like, and what it will feel like the first time they hold them. Nothing has occurred, yet in anticipation, parents vividly imagine and engage all of their senses as though the baby was already born.
Personal vision works just the same.
Be still.
Be quiet.
Consider your purpose and fast forward your life to the positive things that will happen as a result. Spend some time and camp out in this vision. Go through your sensory perceptions and write down what you experience. Be as specific as possible. You will see yourself achieving far more than you could ever come up with on the spot. It’s as though you are tapping into foresight.
You have an opportunity. No matter what curveball life throws at you, no matter what has rocked your boat beyond comprehension, you have an opportunity to be awakened. When you awaken, there’s no telling what can happen because that awakening draws us to have internal conversations we’d never have otherwise.

In the midst of all this, I want to encourage you to take some alone time. For some of you this may include quiet music in the background. For others it could simply mean taking a walk in nature. Regardless of how you do it, find space to be alone. Engage your senses. Just watch and see what develops!
Practical Step: Start Dreaming!
If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you spend your time on? What would you do? What would you be? Write down your actions and their outcomes. Be specific and engage all 5 senses. Here are the parameters:
