Depth of Vision!

DEPTH of VISION

I was listening to one of my mentors and he was talking about an interesting scenario.  One of his mentors asked him a simple question.  ”When you see this acorn, what do you envision? Well, he thought for a second and not wanting to look bad, he said “I see a tree!”  The gentleman said ok, that’s good and then he said, “I see a forest.”  Wow, right then and there, he then learned what Depth of Vision really is all about.

So I pose these questions to you!  When you see the workout on the board, what do you see? (another painstaking sweat session or an opportunity to reach your goals and overcome obstacles).  When you see an apple, what do you see? (Something to throw down fast or nourishment for the cells of your mind and body) When you see the salad, what do you see? (Some leaves and twigs(lol) or a colorful life enhancing meal for your health).  When you see your workout partner training hard, what do you see? (why are they making me look bad or I admire their commitment).  When you see your child “fail,” what do you see? (a reflection of you as a parent or an opportunity for growth and encouragement).

For all of us, we sometimes don’t have the depth of vision on many subject matters and on some others, we do!  When you look at the goals, dreams and desires of your life, having depth of vision is an important aspect for optimism and to fulfilling those parts of life that are important to you! I encourage you all, as I remain steadfast in my pursuit of depth of vision, to truly envision beyond the moment at hand, expand your horizons and see yourself as a person who looks for the most of any situation. That can only be infectious to others and inspirational…and how would it feel, if you knew you were an inspiration to others? Empowering!
