1. Imagine
Imagine a better world
What does it look like, sound like, feel like?
As you do this, make it a positive statement or picture because our sub-conscious minds work on ‘what we focus on is what we attract’. Have you ever met someone who has an alcoholic parent who focused on saying ‘I will never be like that’ and yet they did!
Eg I imagine a world without war. –> I imagine a world filled with love, peace and laughter.
Make up one of your own from your own life experience. If you are not sure which one to choose, why not choose one thing that has been an issue in your own life then turn that issue into a positive. eg domestic violence –> strong families who enjoy life together
2. Solution
What can you do today, this week, this month toward that vision?
eg Vision – strong family who enjoy life together
Solution – do a relationship course with my partner (one that comes highly recommended is Love After Marriage)
If you struggle with being naturally creative, as young children are. Ask God to help you.
If you do not believe in God then pretend there is a great supercomputer in the sky and you have been given momentary access to input a question of how to solve the riddle of the way from where we are now (a world filled with war, disease, poverty, abuse…) to your better world, then
… what is the first thing that pops into your head?
To check, if it works ask these questions?
a) Is it encouraging, positive and/or for the greater good?
b) Does it move us from NOW along the continuum a Better World
NOW ——->———————- Better World
If the answer is “yes”, then no matter how small, this is part of the solution! You’re on your way 🙂
Make them SMART goals
S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Achievable
R – Realistic
T – Timely
Eg 1
Imagine – a world where our environment is looked after and we eat healthy food grown locally.
Solution – strategically plan (using companion planting) research then plant a vegetable garden this Autumn and don’t use pesticides
It’s that easy!
Eg 2
No violence –> People are kind and patient and loving
Imagine a better world where people are kind, patient and loving.
SMART goal
“I will learn how to control my own emotions by reading and doing the activities in Prosper as Your Soul Prospers by <insert date>.”
3. Commitment
Write down your strategy and commit to it by signing and dating your intention
eg I will have my own vegetable garden within the next month. Signature, date
4. Partner
Ask someone not only to witness it with a signature or status update on social media who will also be your accountability partner to ensure you do your bit toward creating a better world. That person’s role is to check in with you after 2 – 3 weeks and say “You said your vision for a better world is …. and your solution is …. How are you going with that?” Then encourage you to keep moving toward your goal.
Then encourage them to create their own vision – Imagine / Solution / Commit / Partner.
They must find their own accountability partner (not you) and so create an exponential growth of the revolution!
I am uplifted already..
Great to hear. The next step is for you to create your own vision and solution 🙂
