Holding the Vision
Do you have a vision for your future? For your life? For today?
All of us have been visionaries at one time or another.
Especially during those most hopeful times in our lives – graduation from high school or college, getting engaged, becoming a parent, beginning a new course of study or moving to a new city. Everything seems fresh and new and anything feels possible.
We dream, we envision, we swell with hope and excitement.
And then it happens…the job offer falls through, the marriage feels fragile, parenting is incredibly hard and at times completely unrewarding, the new course of study seems impossible, the new city just plain sucks.
We had such high hopes. We were on fire. We were in love. We were unstoppable…until…we stopped. Wet blankets. Broken hearts. Rain. Mud. Chicken pox.
Where did the sunshine, hearts, and flowers go? And why are the things we envisioned not arriving on our doorstep yet?
These are questions all conscious creators have asked at one time or another. Where is it? Where is my thing? That thing I ordered from the Universe? That thing I saw so clearly.
It’s there, Lovely Magician. You are just having trouble seeing it right now. You can very easily see the rain, the mud, the fog, the chickenpox. It is so very easy to see the debt, the broken car, the broken heart. The empty wallet, the empty side of the bed, the empty cup.
And this is exactly and precisely when you need to hold the vision. This is not easy. It is not for the faint of heart, but it is possible. It takes practice. It is achieved through mastery, and it is the way of the conscious creator. The way of Magic. The way of The Magician.
When we realize that our entire life experience is created by the thoughts we are thinking we can create anything we desire. Every single feeling and emotion we experience is directly connected to a thought we are creating in that moment. You are a powerful creator, and learning to hold the vision is essential if you want to create consciously.
The cup is empty but you can see it full. Not only can you see it full, you can taste it’s sweetness, see the steam rising from it, smell it’s faint scent, feel it’s warmth.
They see: grey skies, lost love, empty purse, loneliness, despair.
You see: sunshine, lovebirds, abundance, friendly possibilities, hope.
Your hope leads you to faith as you hold this vision of success for yourself.
Your faith SEES the cup overflowing.
Your faith inspires you to take action.
Your faith begins to produces evidence that you can see with your physical eyes. And then…
They see it, too.
That’s how magic works.
Learn to hold the vision. You can do it.
Use your imagination. Your imagination creates your reality.
Your ability to hold the vision will improve with practice. Your ability to hold the vision will allow you to feel the energy of what you want. Your feelings are a miracle. Your imagination, powerful. Your innate ability, magical.
Hold the vision until you realize the vision is holding you, pulling you forward, energizing you, lifting you up.
Hold the vision. It is the container for Magic.

This posting has opened my eyes and made me realize how important it is for me to hold the vision of what I want. I tend to be all over the place right now because of some physical problems I am dealing with. Perhaps because of that — I’m embarrassed to say — I have been making excuses. Well that’s over starting right now! I am going to sit down today and write out my intentions and make sure I place them where I can read them all the time. So I can stay focused and really create the life I want instead of just letting life happen to me. Thank you Dear One for your wonderful words. ✨
Oh Colleen I’m so thrilled to see that this post gave you some insights and I’m very excited to see what this consciousness helps you to create! And no need to be embarrassed about anything, we all have struggles and blind spots on our journey and part of the big joy we are privileged to experience is finding our way around or over those stumbling blocks and have the brilliant experience of our eyes opening over and over. It’s all part of growing. So glad I have you in my sphere. Sending you big love today xo
Hello Dear Cindie,
Thank you for once again putting into words an important practice for getting through, moving forward, and staying true to self. Left to my own, the cup is always half empty, too small, probably even cracked and chipped. But with dedicated time and effort – daily – the landscape transforms to one of gratitude and Possibility. I look forward to your writings and use them as guideposts to shift focus and energy toward real serenity.
Much love from Erin
Erin, Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind words. I’m so glad to know that my writings are valuable to you! Sending you lots and lots of love xoxo
There are no accidents. You were part of my vision, even if I didn’t know it until I found you on your Love and Magic Salon. Even in hard times, the magic waits patiently. Thank you, Cindie, for shedding light on areas I thought were permanently dark. So proud of your gifts and your accomplishments.
Jeaninne, I’m so glad you found me! And I’m so glad to be able to shine light for you. You are a joy to have in the Salon, and I’m with you – there are no accidents! xo
Cindie–This is exactly what I’m seeing happen in my life. It’s so exciting to “see” what’s ahead and be happy to make the steps toward the goals I’ve set. It trully is Magical!!!
Yay Donna!!! I’m excited to see you making such awesome strides! I know it is going to just get better and better! xo
