Life’s vision is arrived at through visioning. Visioning is a function of the intuitive mind where you tap into your soul and "see" your future by sitting in the silence of meditation and allowing yourself to dissolve into the beyond of the conscious mind and see your life and how it unfolds for the highest peak of goodness. This gives your life a reference point to determine if you are on-track.
It is said that this vision is the "internal picturing" of your purpose unfolding the reason why you exist. When you create a life plan or blueprint for your life part of the plan must be to vision your life. However my belief is that there is no reason for existence but existence itself is the reason. And this is the purpose of life.
It is quite common for people to question the reason for their existence. However what they do not realize is that Existence does not need a reason, but it is actually the reason for everything else. Everything revolves around existence. As once a good friend of mine said, it is the same as asking "What is the purpose of Life?" The simple answer to that age old question is "To Live." It doesn't get any simpler, or any more complicated than that. For someone to truly understand and practice the best way to live, is something that can take an entire lifetime.
“Living” is not just merely being. People seize to live even when they are still breathing, working, eating and engaging in their usual day-to-day activities. This happens to the majority of us.
“They did everything automatically, oblivious to the magic moment that each day brings with it, never stopping to think about the miracle of life, never understanding that the next minute could be their last on the face of this planet” (Coelho, 2005: The Zahir)
The purpose of life is to live and this means enjoying every second spent, listening to the rain drops outside the window, smelling the roses on the way and even getting pricked by thorns in the meantime and pulling them out and learning how not to get pricked by them in the future. This requires personal development and growth. Without it, it is unlikely you will achieve your own true potential.
“To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it” - Mother Teresa
My vision for life is to Live and let live. It is to be remembered when I'm gone from this life for enjoying every day I was blessed with, impacting every person that I had the pleasure of meeting in a positive way, inspiring them to dare to make their work be something that is truly enjoyable and meaningful to them and helping them to understand who they are and how easy it is to become who they'd like to be while helping myself to do the same. I want to be loved - especially by my family - but by as many as possible, and to be able to come to love them as well. I'd like for people to tell tales of the times that we spent together for many years after I'm gone. That will be the true measure of value of my time on this earth, or whether I was just successful at avoiding death for a long time. When I leave this earth, my tombstone shall read “She died while she was alive” (as said in Zahir by Paulo Coelho).
So......What’s your vision for life?
