Manifesting Your Vision: A Guide to Starting the New Year Right
Written on
Chapter 1: Envisioning Your Future
Creating magic may seem like an unattainable aspiration, but the start of a new year invites us to adopt a fresh mindset. Let’s embrace this mantra: "I am capable of achieving the extraordinary."
As Albert Einstein noted, "There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
As we approach the new year, consider this crucial question: Who will you choose to be in this upcoming year? Will you be someone who perceives nothing as miraculous, or will you see the miraculous in everything around you?
Believing in the potential for miracles and possibilities is the first step in turning your aspirations into reality. Remember, if you don’t believe it, you can’t achieve it; without a clear path, you cannot navigate your journey.
Taking the time to release old patterns, renew your spirit, dream boldly, and even strategize will yield significant rewards, setting you up for a remarkable year ahead.
To align with your deepest desires, reflect on three essential components of your inner self:
- (Re)Focus Your Actions — Ensure your efforts align with your vision.
- (Re)Claim Your Joy — Identify what brings you true fulfillment.
- (Re)Connect to Your Truth — Trust your inner wisdom for guidance.
Reflecting on these three areas will serve as your guiding light, helping you to establish a strong vision for the new year.
To view your life holistically, consider using the Seven F's model: Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun, and Future. Assess yourself in each area on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 signifies being far from your ideal and 10 represents your ideal state. This assessment will help you set meaningful goals for the future.
Additionally, it's vital to explore your "why." Instead of setting generic goals, delve deeper and ask yourself, "What drives me?" Your "why" reflects your core values, what you stand for, and your commitment to serving others.
For instance, my personal "why" is:
I exist to:
Empower individuals to harness resilience and leadership, facilitating healing and enabling us all to reach our full potential.
Take a moment to articulate your own "why" in a single sentence. Remember, it’s perfectly okay for your "why" to evolve over time. The key is to have one! This guiding principle allows you to assess your activities throughout the year and determine if they align with your mission. If not, you can choose to step back.

Section 1.1: (Re)Focus Your Actions
Begin by reflecting on your accomplishments over the past year. What did you achieve? What worked and what didn't?
Assessing your successes, failures, and missed opportunities will provide clarity on how to build upon your experiences. Remember, you are the architect of your own life, and nothing exists without your consent.
Subsection 1.1.1: (Re)Claim Your Joy
Tuning into what brings you joy is essential. (Re)Claiming your joy might involve introducing new elements into your life while letting go of those that no longer serve you.
Consider these questions:
- What moments brought you happiness?
- When did you feel at peace?
- What times were you the most miserable?
- When did you feel least aligned with your core values?
The aspects of your life that enhance or detract from your joy will guide you in structuring your life moving forward.
Instead of asking, "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" try, "What do I genuinely desire that I would pursue wholeheartedly, despite the risk of failure?"
The pursuits worth risking failure for reveal the essence of who you are.
Section 1.2: Letting Go for Growth
In a world that often equates more with better, it's vital to recognize the power in doing less. Letting go of roles, expectations, and relationships that hinder your growth can lead to greater fulfillment.
What are you willing to release to achieve the life you envision? Change can be daunting, but identifying what you want to alter is the first step toward transformation.
Chapter 2: (Re)Connect to Your Truth
Listening to your inner wisdom is crucial when creating a vision board that resonates with your authentic self.
To discover your truth, ask yourself:
- How can I live a more authentic life?
This introspection can lead to significant life changes, aligning you more closely with your true desires.
In summary, take the time to reflect on your past year and thoughtfully plan where you wish to go. Establishing a vision for the experiences and achievements you seek will greatly enhance the likelihood of realizing them.
Failing to plan is planning to fail, but with intention and reflection, you can set the stage for success as you begin crafting your vision board. Invest in your most valuable asset: yourself!
You've got this!
