Vision is one of our most powerful human gifts because it combines the power of the senses, the mind and the heart. Guided by vision, companies like Working Assets and the Body Shop discover ways to work more ethically and profitably. Inventors see how to turn failures like glue that doesn't stick well into useful products like Post-It Notes.
Individuals discover their right livelihood and see how to manifest it.
They learn how to work more purposefully and effectively all day, then have plenty of energy for a fulfilling home and community life. True vision is a lot more than goal-setting or becoming more resourceful and innovative. Vision begins by gathering information through the senses about what currently is. To this is added the mind's imagination of what can be and the heart's wisdom about who we are and how we are called to dance with each other. The wisdom of the heart is crucial to vision because our hearts are the source of our deepest values, passions, and connections to others.
