What’s It Gonna Take?

What’s it gonna take for your vision to become a reality?
Not just to get a great idea but to have it stand up and become a life-giving, sustainable reality.

I have been doing some serious reflection on this very question.

How does that happen? 
What is the formula? 
How come so many people actually DO see their visions become reality? 

Recently, my daughter’s roommate’s fiancé won the Country Music Awards Songwriter of the Year. And what a ‘normal’ humble, down-to-earth guy he is.

I don’t know all of what Michael Hardy would attribute his success to exactly, but I know a few things for sure.

Yes, he has talent and so do you.
Yes, he worked hard and so can you.
Yes, he believed and so can you.

I mean the extraordinary is all around us.  You may ask, where?

And I do know the many challenges are real.  But there is more. Keep looking.

In my eyes, if you are reading this, you are women with access to more individually and collectively than you may even realize.  Yet, if you give in to the resistance and insecurity and let excuses rather than faith and efforts take precedence, then you may never see it. But it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I say this all out of love and respect because this has freed me, but I have come to realize that when I give in to fear, it has become too much about me. 

I understand that as I step out boldly, I am being prepared with each day to someday meet Him face to face. My question to myself is…am I using all I have been given to make more with? (which always involves risk)

So what’s it gonna take? 
How can we facilitate break-out moments that develop a “cycle of success and not continue or develop a cycle of defeat”? Which are you in?

Here’s what I have seen as the differentiator between those who see their vision come to reality and those that only talk about it:

Those that see Visions come to reality…

1. The ‘pain ‘ of staying where you are becomes too much. Those that make it know the pain of NOT acting on their passions, with their strengths, in line with their values, and according to what they believe causes. There is a cost to not using what you have, not just to others, but to you too.
2. They develop a 6th sense and vision of what’s possible and cannot let it go.
3. You grasp the wondrous experience of living in full surrender, compelled and propelled, in step with the spirit.  They get what psychologists refer to as the feeling of being fully self-actualized.

My team and I talk about this frequently. Living in this space makes confident and faith-filled decision making, continual risk-taking, facing fears, and conquering new ground a way of life…success then is inevitable.  Once experienced, you will never go back. It is a wondrous place to live because joy and purpose are present, regardless of outcomes.

This, my friend, seems to be what it takes for visions to become reality.

Myth: ‘Success’ is for the rare few.

Truth: It is available to all.

God has made that so because it has nothing to do with circumstances but rather what you do with what you’ve been given. Believe it or not, you have what it takes. 

We invite you to join us in this wondrous place.  Once you do, you will never go back.

To your personal success.
