Courage is Actualizing the Vision the Universe Has for You

We spend a lot of time thinking and talking about our hopes and dreams, but how often do we think about the vision the Universe had for us.  When you really think about it, this is the true meaning of vision—getting a true understanding of the vision the universe has for us.  And when we have the courage to actualize this vision, we become powerful co-creators called Visionaries. 

It takes courage to actualize the vision the Universe has for us because often you are stepping out on unknown territory. Expansion and growth always requires that we step into the unknown. In fact, the Queen of Media, Oprah Winfrey stated:

“The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you.  I know that’s not easy.  But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you.”

Now the question is:  Have we opened our hearts to the “grandest vision” the universe has for us?  Many have not taken this into consideration.  What’s more, we will discover in our journey of growth and true self-realization that our hopes and dreams are but a small glimpse of the vision the universe has for us.  We have infinite creative potential and the “grandest vision” the universe has for us presents us with avenues called provision to use as much of this infinite creative potential we desire to manifest great things and even greater things. 

With this provision, the universe acknowledges the desire to do something that matters is in all of us. But we must be ready for it. 

And how can we get ready for it?  We get ready for it by first allowing the Creative Spirit to reveal the “grandest vision to us.”  It takes meditation, prayer, visualization, and consistent right action to be able to catch this vision.  Once we catch this vision, it will take more spiritual work to hold fast to this vision.   

After we have held fast to the vision, to actualize this vision in our lives, there is always an opportunity for a bold move.  I say, opportunity because it is just that an opportunity and success happens when opportunity meets preparation. 

Consequently, this is when we have to muster the courage to trust our inner being and step out on this bold move.  It is then we will realize that the spiritual work–meditation, affirmative prayer, discipline, visualization, and right action—was not done to make something happen but to prepare us to do something that only we may understand.   

This is the way of the Visionary.  The Visionary looks for an opportunity to make a bold move that will actualize the grandest vision.  Life is filled with these opportunities to make a bold move, but we have to be prepared and we have to be courageous.  Each time we make a bold move, we exercise the muscles of our faith and realize more of our true and authentic self.  We are not limited…at least, that’s not the vision the universe has of us.
