Help Your Children to Write Their Vision and Make It Plain

Over the weekend, I had Lady Clara and Sir Isaac to write down their goals for the academic school year (2012-2013) which will be used to create their vision boards. Two of the goals that my daughter listed were: 1)To Create My Own Style and 2)To Do More Dancing and Acting. In addition to writing down what they wanted to accomplish, I told my children that they had to develop action steps to take. Lady Clara said one of the things she needed to do in order to do more dancing and acting was to take acting and dance classes and to audition for roles. I'm happy to say that she's getting started on accomplishing her goals. Yesterday, she was supposed to be starting a web design class as part of her summer camp program. However, when I took her to the class, I was informed by the assist program director that the class was cancelled because it didn't have enough students enrolled. I was disappointed, but I inquired about a “Plan B.” It turns out that Lady Clara was able to take Fashion Design class. The funny thing is, the instructor of the class (Ms. Gail) was the one who had escorted me to find the assistant program director when I entered the third floor. I talked to Ms. Gail about Lady Clara's goals and she said, "Well, she is in the right place." What's interesting is that she also runs a dance program. I was too excited and didn't count this encounter as a coincidence. It was fate. I want to encourage you to spend time goal setting with your children. Then, take action of making your desires come true. When you write you vision and put in the work, it will become plain!
