See your Vision

“To see your vision and stick with it” are the words that make up the title of Chapter One in Russell Simmon’s book, “Do You”.   Underneath the title is a great quote by another great mind, Vincent Van Gogh, and it reads: I dream my paintings and paint my dream.

Since this is a new year, I’ve decided to document my journey towards “Makin Dreams Reality” for me. This will be my living documentary, as it comes to me, of my future progress, obstacles, triumphs, twists, turns, and the always popular, roaming mind of ideas that I wish to develop. I will see this at later date, knowing that I will have learned even more after the road is travelled. I have said that it is easier to see the path you’ve walked when you take a second to look back after having ascended and plateaued over and over, making your way up your mountain to reach your own summit, then enjoy the ride down after all the effort has been put in to reach the top. Its as good of time as any to dictate the philosophies I’ve meditated on myself for the past two or so years. 

    

The correlation to manifesting your visions to manifesting your life is similar to the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza,D.C in his book, “Evolve Your Brain”. 

The King and the Calligrapher

For those artistic minds, who have had gnats buzzing away , hindering their creative process, share this with them to hold them over.

A story is told of a King who summoned the nation’s best living Calligrapher and demanded of him that he make a drawing to symbolize the Kingdom. The Calligrapher reassured his lord as to his loyalty and left to undertake his task.

Days passed; then weeks. The King sent a messenger to the Calligrapher’s remotely located studio to find out what was happening. The messenger returned with the report that the drawing was not ready. Months came and departed. Every envoy to the Calligrapher was curtly dismissed with the same information; that the drawing was not yet complete.

After years had passed, the King could contain his impatience no longer and stormed off to the Calligrapher’s studio himself. The Calligrapher is sitting there, quietly and evidently quite at ease. The King is furious, ‘Where is my drawing?’ he shouts. At this the Calligrapher bows silently, pulls a large sheet of paper towards him, sets a variety of jars before him, picks up a brush and, within two minutes, has executed the most wonderfully sinuous design to represent the Kingdom.

The King can scarcely control his rage, ‘If it is so easy, why have I had to wait so long?’. Still maintaining his silence the Calligrapher goes to the back of his studio where there is a large alcove with doors reaching from the floor to the ceiling. He opens the doors and out onto the floor pour thousands of study drawings.
