ay. Because as we prepare for: ould be? Coming soon. January:What do you need more of and what do you need less of this is some thing I do in my vision course. It's called uncover your brave vision, and help women discover what their true vision is, like every treasure in the world, it's buried in the earth, we have to mine it out. And so our treasure, our gifts, our callings, our passions are what we're really created to do. They're usually buried deep down inside of us. So I hope you understand what it is. But then we got to get clear, we got to get clear around Is this what you want to build your life around? Is this your calling? What's prohibiting you from moving in this realm? So that leads me to number two, the second thing around clarity that you need to know is, where do you want to go? So let's go back to that analogy of the map in the airport. If I'm standing there, and I locate where I am, the next thing I have to do is figure out where do I want to go? After all, if I don't really know where I want to go, any path will do, right? I need to know what I want in life. I talked to so many people who can tell me what they think should happen or what's going on with the world or their current status. But I can't listen to people, I can't find anyone, oh, maybe a woman here or there, hopefully you My brave heart, that who can be really clear on what they want in life. So decide where you want to go. And you know, making a decision is sometimes the skill that we need to develop. Because a lot of times we just don't have good decision making and we're paralyzed. We're waiting for someone else to make a decision for us. Or we think I'm eventually going to decide, but do you know that if you don't make a decision about your life, you really already decided, haven't you? You've decided that you're going to stay stuck, and be exactly where you are this time next year? That's not what I want. How about you instead gain clarity? What kind of future do you want? What kind of body Do you want? What kind of relationship do you want? Do? What kind of husband do you want? Take time? Write it down?
What kind of money do you want to make? Be specific? I want to make X amount of dollars this year. I have a friend who told us that she wrote on her vision board, what kind of money she wanted to make. And she not only made that she surpassed it by $50,000. That can be you. What kind of house do you want to live in? Or what kind of neighborhood? Where do you want to travel? What how do you want to be used of God? What kind of ministry Do you want? Do you want to write a book? Do you want to own a business? Do you want to invent some kind of gadget, identify where you want to go? And be clear. Remember that in five years, you will arrive? Yes, you will. We don't know where you will arrive. But Lord willing, you're going to arrive somewhere you're either going to arrive at the life that you believe for you've prayed for you've seen it and you've crafted all of your habits and your routines towards Are you going to just haphazardly arrive at whatever just came your way by default. Don't let that be you. And the third thing that you have to gain clarity around is Get clear on the actions you can take now, what baby steps can you take to move the needle forward towards your goals and your dreams? If your dream is to start a center for young moms, that's on my mind because I just talked to a lady who wants to do that. Okay, what can you do? If your dream is to start that Senator then write it down. First of all, that's your first step, write it down, and then look at it every day. Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's hard to say. He looked at it every day. He looked at it every night before he went to sleep. He believed and visualized and dream all the time. But he didn't let just a dream of a Sunday satisfy him. And we have to be careful about that. There is science that says if we over visualize, we get the reward of thinking that we're doing it. That's another podcast or another episode I should say. But you look at it every day. He had pictures all over the place. What do you look at before you go to bed? What do you look at when you wake up remember the quote from Jack Canfield? Give your brain a target and then pray over it. You want to start a center for young moms then you could start volunteering at the YWCA or at any Your youth group your church, start a small group in your home, invite some of your teenage daughters or young girls in the school or the church to come for a cooking lesson. If you will start somewhere, look for some property. If you want to own the center, where would you be? What kind of town Do you want to what neighborhood and then meet other people who have the same heart, start getting in the environment, start meeting and rubbing shoulders with those who want to do the same thing and network or maybe want to run a marathon. Now I'm going to be honest, I think someday I'm going to try that. But right now I have a hard time understanding the beauty of running marathons. I know a lot of people do and some of my good friends do. So I'm looking at that with an open mind and heart. But maybe that's you. So you've got to organize your schedule to include running three times a week, and then four times a week, and then five times a week. And on and on you, you have to get the right shoes, I understand equipment is everything right? You have to get the right running clothes. And then if you're going to run for a marathon, pick out which one and register for the event. And make sure you understand all the guidelines and the entry requirements and rules and get yourself prepared. Give yourself a deadline. nothing motivates us like a deadline. Maybe you want to ask your BFF to hold you accountable. So what can you do? You've got to gain clarity. And this is your year to do it. No more vague living. Remember, if your goals and dreams are vague, your results will be vague too. And by the way, remember, don't don't share a large vision with a small mind. Make sure that you keep your vision almost to yourself in the beginning. And just let the people who say, Oh, really sure, whatever. Don't give them that opportunity. Just show don't tell us what we say in the writing world show. Don't tell. Don't tell me what you're going to do. Show me what you're going to do. This is your year, but it's going to start with gaining clarity. Get clear about where you are right now. Get clear about where you want to go. If I bump into you on the street, and I asked you, where do you want to go. Or you could even say this gone, asked me where I want to go, you'd be ready to tell me with clarity and specification, where you want to go and where you're believing for and where you're headed. You are on your way, my sister, and then get clear about the steps that you can start taking right now to prove that you are ready for this. And you can step into it when your preparation and opportunity intersect. That means the door is open and you're ready to go through it. So I'm excited for you. Stop by the website. Dawn damon.com.
