LightHearted Musings - Cherish Your Visions and Your Dreams
Posted by Dr. Molly Roberts on February 1st, 2009
Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate accomplishments.
–Napoleon Hill
Here is a tip that will not only strengthen your relationships with your family but will also get you started toward stepping into the life you have been longing for. For the last couple of years, Bruce and I have been getting together every Wednesday at 1 pm for a Visioning Meeting.
In this Visioning Meeting, we ask the big questions about what’s important to us, what we value, what brings us joy, what we hate to do, whether we are heading in the direction we want to go, etc. The idea behind this is to continually fine-tune what our lives look like so that we can keep heading toward what brings us joy, a sense of purpose in our work, and a stronger relationship with each other. It is important to schedule this in on a regular basis so that the meeting actually takes place and so that everybody acknowledges the importance of the quest.
Bruce and I often don’t come up with the answers during this meeting, and in fact, we often have more questions than answers right after the meeting is done. Instead, getting together weekly keeps the conversation in our minds throughout the week. Some of my best ah-ha! moments have been in the shower a day or two after the Visioning Meeting, when the answers to my questions seem to get downloaded into my head all at once. This is a wonderful way for couples to reconnect and to feel like they are working together to create the vibrant and loving lives together that they have always dreamed of.
You can also bring your children, especially your teenagers, into your Visioning Meetings so that they can learn these skills as well. This will let your children know that you care about what their dreams are for themselves. You would be amazed at how much harmony there is in a home where everyone is steadily and cooperatively working toward bettering their lives and where everyone’s wishes and needs are really heard. Give Visioning Meetings a try for a couple of months and let us know how it goes!
