Look Ahead- The Importance Of Having a Vision

Many people who have been through a difficult time often find themselves STUCK. 

They are so consumed with their turmoil and/ or the after math of their traumas that they cannot look forward. 

They cannot see past how they are feeling right now. All they can see and feel is the damage of their problems, misfortunes, tragedies, and so on. 

While it is good to allow yourself to feel what you are feeling, it is helpful to have a vision in your mind of how healing can look like. 

It is good to visualize how your life can be in the future, what and how you would like your life to be, etc..

If you do not have a mental vision of how your life can improve and what you would like to strive for in your life, it is difficult to work toward change.

This is true whether you are living with the effects of a bad decision or if you have endured a tragedy. 

Allow yourself to feel exactly how you feel and then look forward to things being different in your life.

Often, it is not what we have gone through in life but rather- our responses to situations that take us and others down.

What would you like to change in your life? How do you see yourself living after you have worked through healing, a loss, etc.? 

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Philippians 3:13

Visualize it. Write it down. Cut out pictures of it. Believe you can and work toward your visions and goals one step at a time.

We are often faced with extremely difficult and sad times. 

You may think your life is over with what you have endured.

However, healing is on the horizon.

There is help for what you are going through and there is help.

You are not alone.

Start today to visualize a new life for yourself.
