14 Fundamental Principles of Vision

I came across the following The Fourteen Fundamental Principals of Vision which I found interesting, the 14 principles are:

1. Visioning is a personal process that is begun in isolation; however, it is fundamentally conversational and social.
2. Even though it may seem that nothing is happening at the time, the experience itself changes the person, group, and/or organization.
3. The experience enables us to become more of who or what we are, and therefore changes how we are in the world.
4. Visions come to children, and to adults who can make themselves like children.
5. Vision comes when we are humble and pitiable.
6. Vision’s power comes as we listen to our own, internal stories.
7. Vision’s power comes as we learn to communicate with our deepest selves.
8. Vision’s power comes when we can honor those dreams that energize the very essence of who we are and how we want to be in the world.
9. Vision’s power comes to us when we can be open to something greater than ourselves.
10. Vision’s power comes as we listen to the stories around us.
11. Vision’s power comes when the story of a person’s life joins the circle.
12. Vision’s power comes when a person realizes a story that already exists.
13. Vision’s power comes when we add a new episode to that story.
14. Vision’s power comes when the story of a person’s life becomes that of life as a whole.
