Imaginative - Having or showing creativity or inventiveness
Insight - The capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.
I would like to think that I can sometimes understand a situation by the creativity of my mind. I rely on insight and intuition. I have strong intuition which I am very grateful for because it has kept me one step ahead many times. Oh yes, there are times when I am totally blind, but I believe those are learning experiences.
My thoughts can run wild with creativity (WILD!) and it is important to reign it in and make a list of what is MOST important so that I don't lose the vision. If I am really trying to get somewhere then it is important to keep focused.
In no particular important order.... my top 5...
1. Diet
I have a goal that I have been fighting almost my entire life to reach. I have been sidetracked more times that I would like. I have allowed this because I lose my vision.
--- I must get back to basics. I must SEE where I am going and follow that map!
2. Exercise
ONE time in my life exercise was a large part of my day. I enjoyed it then, but it was because it was fun. I had a best friend and buddy and we kept each other encouraged. I could leg press 400 pounds. I was 13% body fat. oooo, aaaahhh... and tight. Then... buddy moved away and I lost my vision.
--- Perhaps I will never leg press 400 pounds again, but I must get back to moving. I must SEE the purpose in it and pursue it.
3. Work
I have always believed that I could do ANYTHING I put my mind and heart into. I have imagined myself in so many roles. I have owned a business. I have rubbed elbows with "semi" celebrities. I have made a difference in hundreds of lives. So now I am working a "job". Not a bad job, actually a very good job. But my entrepreneurial side is crying out, "Create!" This is a vision I never lose and often feels more like a curse! My brain is always searching for outlets.
--- I must love and accept this part of me. I must allow my creative brain chart the course and quit fighting it. AND of course, don't quit my day job because it finances the creativity. lol.
4. Friends & Family
Very complicated. My vision can only extend as far as others will allow. I have good friends and a great family. I have learned that both groups are 'seasonal' and because each person is on their own journey, we are often on different paths. I cannot force others to take my road and visa versa. The best I can do is keep moving forward with my vision and be thankful for those times when our paths cross. I must learn to love more and regret less.
--- I must realize that not everyone can walk with me on my path. I must enjoy the company, but keep moving forward. I must keep my vision on my road in front of me.
5. Trust
I have to trust God. I believe that He is the beginning and the end. I trust Him to keep the vision in front of me. This is my safety.
--- I must trust more.

I suppose it can all be summed up in this quote:
Enjoy real food, move around, create the atmosphere, stay busy, love others, and trust God.
It was prophesied to me once that I was a "butterfly". I enter a room and flit about lightly, landing occasionally, but always causing others to observe. I scoffed at first and thought, "Butterfly?!? Really?" ... but then the more I thought about it the more I realized that it was a pretty good way to live. When a butterfly is near everyone gets very still and watches. A butterfly brings a few minutes of pleasure for the observer. Perhaps just a few second of not stressing about life.
I have just flitted about and lightly landed in your brain for a few minutes, and now I am off to the next flower. Selah.
