Part 2 - Defining Your Vision and Goals
“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards;
They try to have more things or more money, in order
To have more of what they want, so they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first
be who you really are, then do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want.”
Margaret Young
Welcome to Part Two of The Vision Quest Program.
This aim of this stage is to start to get the Vision down on paper.
Continue Your Daily Practice
In your daily practice you should now be:-
- Setting intention in the morning
- Reviewing your day and asking – What did I do right? at night
- Capturing your internal stories and re-writing the ones that aren’t supportive
You can also begin to add the practice of asking ‘What am I grateful for?’
The next two readings are designed to provoke some thought and get you ready for Exercise 4.
Reading Three – Work and Life – Morrie Schwartz
Reading Four – How to be an Artist
When you have read the articles move onto Exercise 4.
Exercise Four – Defining Your Vision and Goals
Fill in the relevant parts of your Personal Development Plan as you do the exercise.
Exercise Five – Open Your Heart
Now do the ‘Open Your Heart Exercise’.
Review your Vision and Goals as needed.
You may need to sit with these exercises for a few days and allow them to evolve until you are totally comfortable with the results.
Congratulations you have finished Part 2 – you can now begin Part 3.
