Do you dream? The sleeping and wake up type of dream?
Apparently we all do, but I have to say I very very rarely wake up knowing the dream that I dreamt, assuming that we all DO dream when we are sleeping.
This week was different though! I actually woke up still in my dream...in the dream I saw myself opening my eyes and they were white, I couldn't see! As I stayed in the same position I was fighting the air...BUT after some time when I managed to get up and STRETCH forward I was able to see! Sounds strange I know! I didn't panic with fear and I didn't tell anyone except my husband. I continued to think deeply into the dream and this is what I concluded.
Vision and sight have different meanings, although used interchangeably in speech. Sight allows us to physically see our surroundings, shapes, colours, family, friends and the like. Whilst vision...vision extends our sight and allows us to see beyond the limits of our sight. It gives us that mental image, perspective and aspiration that have the power to propel us forward. Forward where our Faith takes over and guides our actions even when we cannot physically see the full plan ahead. Either way, based on this and based on what I see/know of my vision, I started working on my (the rest of) 2024&2025 vision on a vision board. I am grateful that I started it. That dream...that dream was a timely wake-up call, for me to not just have a vision, but to write it down and to stretch towards it to make it happen!!!
In life, many of us encounter times when we feel like we are in the dark, unsure about the next steps about our today let alone our tomorrows! Writing a vision, plain as day (e.g. on a physical or digital platform) is actually one of the foundations of resilience. Its the vision that encourages and motivates us to continue in the face of adversity - knowing that there is purpose and meaning behind 'it' (whatever you maybe going through) all. This has certainly been an anchor and encourager for me...and the reason why I have continued to blog...till today...and will continue as long as my vision remains!
Stretch...and you will grow,
Grow and you will become,
Become and experience the (even) better version of yourself!
