Three reasons why you need to claim your vision

Before we talk about why, let’s discuss what it means to claim your vision. We have dreams, hopes, and wishes for our future selves. Often we envision ourselves in the future. We envision how we are going to act, the confidence we will have, the type of actions we will take once we reach a certain point or achievement in our lives. We say that one day will say, do, or feel a certain way. We claim that one day we will become the person we want to be.

What if instead of waiting, we become that person today? What if through becoming that person we end up with exactly if not even more than we wanted? Who says you need to wait to claim your vision?

Claiming your vision is saying I am the person I want to be and I am going to be who I want to be today. You choose to embody the qualities and ‘beingness’ of the leader, creator, business owner, whoever it is you desire to be, in the present.

Here are three reasons why you need to claim your vision...

Reason 1

When you embody the qualities of who you want to be, you become that person. If you want to be more confident you are not going to magically wake up feeling that way one day. You have to show up to life with confidence and keep building it. If the future version of you is someone who is more confident, then the way you become that person is by claiming your confidence in the present.

Reason 2

In life, we often get stuck in the mindset of why things are not happening for us or why we aren’t receiving what we want or are working towards. When you decide to claim your vision, you put yourself back in the driver’s seat. Claiming your vision is an active way of being and living. You are no longer waiting or wondering why something is not happening for you. Instead, you decide to become who it is you want and need to be. The more you become this person the more opportunities start to open that are in alignment with the person you are becoming.

Reason 3

When you decide to claim your vision you start to take aligned action. We get stuck in this mindset of when this happens I will respond or act a certain way. If we start to act the way we need to before receiving what we want, the choices and actions we take are aligned with who we want to be. We are reacting from a place of embodiment and confidence. If you want to be a business owner, start acting like one. The more you act like one, the more your decisions will reflect the actions of a business owner.

Claiming your vision is a beautiful expression of you saying I’m ready to have and be what I’m meant to be. In order to claim your vision, you have to know what it is you want and desire. You have to have a deep connection to your purpose and a readiness to take action. Once you know all of this it’s simply up to you to say I’m done waiting and making excuses. I’m ready to claim my vision.
