Welcome! I'm pretty sure you clicked on this link to find out what in the world a VPA is. Well I'm glad you did. Do you mind if I tell you a very brief story that will help clear it up?
Thanks!:)
Years ago I worked for a VP of a college who actually evaluated my work performance based on this:
"If you were flying in a hot air balloon above the ground - looking down at yourself - what do you see yourself doing? Who are you connecting with?"
I thought he was joking but he wasn't. He wanted me to decide what my goals were, what I wanted to do with my life, and my 'why' behind doing it, then to submit an essay to him.
THAT was my evaluation? I left the office that night speechless, but feeling relieved knowing I had two weeks to come up with something.
For 2 weeks I tried to write something down and came up with nothing. The night before my evaluation - I couldn't sleep.
As I reflect on it now I get a good belly laugh out if it. I recall seeing him in my mind and I'm thinking, "Why are you punishing me like this?!" As if I were a 5-yr-old little girl. It occurred to me at that moment that I had no goals in life. I had no idea of what my purpose was and it was startling to see my own reaction and how I had been handling it.
I sat in my stairwell looking up at the vaulted ceilings and thought backwards rather than forwards. The only thing that came to mind was at a very young age I sat in front of my parents television watching 'Feed the Children' and I wanted to go feed them.
It seemed to me that was a desire that had never quite left me.
So this is what I wrote down for my employee evaluation:
"I want to feed children that are starving. I see myself in an open field with many little orphan children and I'm playing and laughing with them to celebrate their full bellies."
I somehow turned it into a poem and felt utterly ridiculous handing it to him the next day. I watched for his reaction, but he simply read it, looked up, and then quietly said, "Is this really what you want to do?"
"Yes." I said confidently. "I know it isn't much of a goal, but I never realized I didn't have any goals until you made me do this exercise. Now that I know, I believe I can do something about it."
Here is the amazing part - A few months later I was on a plane heading to Honduras to feed, laugh and play with 64 orphaned children! My wonderful husband, Jon, made that trip possible for me but in writing that goal down it helped me to see it before it ever came into existence. I saw how important that was and is for my life.
That's what started me on a journey of getting real with myself, and with God, over a decade ago. I sought out mentors that were both head and heart connected to learn from and here is what I discovered one needs to have to turn dreams into reality:
a clear VISION of what you most desire
a belief to know that God has always provided you with strength and if you tap into that supernatural POWER - imagine the possibilities
with inspiration to take ACTION one step at a time no matter how big or small - you can accomplish anything
Many People Ask Me How I've Managed to Do What I've Done...and I Say, "One small step at a time"
In the early part of 2007, I lost 2 family members in two separate tragedies just months apart. Through the emotional turmoil and travel across country to assist family, I chose to close the doors to my successful investing company and wondered what to do with my life.
As the year came to an end, life began to feel 'normal' again, until I took a bad fall on black ice and landed directly on my head; injuring my brain and neck.
Seizures controlled my life for the next several months, pain and neurological problems were my closest enemies. Although my wonderful family, and a few employees, were there to help me I consistently felt very alone. I knew I needed courage and a belief that I was not alone no matter how I felt.
There is Always Hope...
Whenever I exercised, I chose to listen to successful people like Alex Mandossian on the MP3 player; on trips I listened to CD's of Jim Rohn and Les Brown; and when I was home I read as many biographies as I could get my hands on to keep the neurotransmitters in my brain connecting and thinking success. I also spent quiet moments, many times a day, where I could reflect on that still small voice we all have inside and found a greater connection to my heart and my own desires. This enables me to connect to others in a much deeper way.
