Our Vision is like a Flashlight. It guides our path and illuminates our focus and commitment to what matters in our life purpose.

It is often recommended to have a vision for the immediate long term for around 2 to 5 years. Yet, it is also essential to periodically view how the vision is actually shaping up.

Many times, we vehemently observe goalposts to our vision. But, there are specific hurdles that may slow us down.

Those hurdles may be areas of our life needing simultaneous attention. E.g., when we or someone we love falls sick, changes within the family life, financial and relational spaces. These would then be actual background factors that make our focus go south with changes.

Often, in the to and fro, the push and pull, we may feel disheartened to pursue any further. Self-doubt and doubting the process of the vision may happen. And we may feel the urge to let go and give up. But does that do justice to your life trajectory? Is this why you set a vision in the first place? To make and break?

Visions are meant to be tentative guiding structures that need to be honed. They need to be shifted and given different shades and tones so that they look doable and manageable for us. They are not meant to scare us off and make us less confident.

But at times we may see them as that - rigid structures to be adhered to; only a black-and-white way of moving forward. No shades of grey.

The more flexibility we show in recalibrating our vision, we adopt a mindset of openness to practical possibilities. Also, the chances of overwhelm and doubt reduce as a result. This thereby imparts the much-needed confidence to pursue one's life purpose.

What this also means is that we are strengthening the Creative muscle. We are honing our divergent thinking to suit our purpose and nudging others involved with their creativity.

We live in the Real world - full of nuances, unpredictability and change.

So, applying the same to our Visions would incorporate the fluidity that we need in our life. The Breathing Space makes our Vision our Own- suiting our True Nature.
