A Vision for Life


It occurred to me recently that I don't have a long term plan, well I've never been into the long term vision really but somehow it seems that I might just be needing one now!

I've always been rather a spontaneous type of person and it's worked quite well for me over the past several years especially. I like not being 'locked in' if you know what I mean.

That way I can do this or do that and I can change gear or indeed do a u-turn as my journey dictates. Nothing wrong with that you might say and you would be quite right of course and yet somehow I've been given a little nudge to look at the big picture and it feels like it's a rather timely reminder.


So having come to that conclusion, this is where the hard part starts...seriously,  does that mean I need a short term, medium term and a long term plan? Short term is a no brainer, medium term well I can probably get that down on paper but the long term vision, well geez, how long is a piece of string?

On the one hand I can see this unseen request to make a plan has merit and yet on the other hand I suspect I'm gonna be kicking and screaming if I'm not careful to keep my mind on track.

Righto then, what is it that I would like to do, if I had to make a plan, have a goal, what might that look like? I've been happily bubbling along my pathway and really it's all been pretty darned good. I work, I travel, I socialise when I feel the urge and I'm involved with a few groups that would seem to be fulfilling my immediate needs.

So why change you might ask? Well exacery!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Sigh but you know, I think there is something lurking underneath all that spontaneity....why just the other day a friend suggested that I might be 'scattered', I mean really how could she even think such a thing!

I have to admit though, that the very word 'scattered' did press a button or two and because of that I know I must do a little introspection, despite the fact that I'm an Aquarian and I'm supposed to be a little scatty but 'one' can't rest on their laurels now can they if they want to make progress in this world. And the progress I'm talking about is not making money, having the best car or amassing a small fortune! Oh no it's the spiritual progression that matters in my book.

But back to the comment about my being scattered, well she is a friend, and she does know a thing or two and I started to think about that old saying about the person you think you are, the person others see you as and the person you really are....hmmm three different personalities no doubt and which one do I resonate with I wonder???

So I'm taking it on board, I'm on the path of discovering just what I would like to create in my life in all three levels, short, medium and long term...the latter being the most challenging without a doubt.

Whether it's something I share or something I'll identify, nurture and then create with Divine guidance remains to be seen.  I'm about to embark on a treasure hunt to find the keys that will open at least one door and what lies beyond that is still a mystery at this point in time.
