Do You Dread Setting Goals
Or Crafting a Big Vision?

Camp Clarity – Episode 7

By Marnie Marcus

Are you a planner? Or are you more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person? If you’re like me, you may have a hard time setting concrete goals for the future because planning feels too structured. You may also have trouble creating a big vision for your life and business.

We all know it’s important to have goals and visions. Yet, spontaneous folks can get a bit nervous or downright obstinate when we’re told we have to craft them.

Why Do We Avoid Setting Goals and Crafting Clear Visions?

You may have trouble getting excited about a Big Vision because it feels too rigid.
Or maybe the wonder of the unknown is more exciting to you than a concrete objective.
You may have learned to trust something higher than yourself to lead you along, and choosing something concrete feels like you don’t trust the Divine.
Perhaps you’re afraid you’ll pick a goal that won’t satisfy you in the end.

Frankly, if a vision doesn’t jazz you now, it probably won’t satisfy you in the future. It also won’t have the juice to propel you forward with determination and resilience to do what it takes to achieve it.

This puts us spontaneous folks in a pickle, doesn’t it? This is what I’ve been wrestling with as I have been going through David Perdew’s Camp Clarity program. I knew the big vision part was coming, and I actually dreaded it.

I know firsthand the type of compelling passion and clear vision it takes to achieve a big dream. I know, because I just achieved one of the biggest dreams of my life.

So, in going through the program, I have had this haunting feeling that there is no missing thing “out there” that will ever propel me at the level that vision did.

I love my life. I’m happier than I’ve been in years, yet even I sense there’s something more. But it’s not a “thing” and it’s not a “place” and it’s not some “achievement.” Traditional goals and visions feel lackluster.

Then, I had an epiphany while working through David’s Big Vision exercise. This is what I’m sharing in this vlog segment. I hope it gives you some ideas – especially if you’re more spontaneous like me.
