In this episode of Differently, Carla Reeves explores the idea that life is more than a series of tasks to check off a list. She delves into the importance of having a vision that aligns with your deepest values and how it can help you build a life you don’t have to take a vacation from, starting today.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Power of Vision: Carla shares how having a clear vision for your life can guide your actions and decisions. Whether it’s a big dream or a simple desire, having a direction gives meaning to your everyday choices and helps you align your to-do lists with your long-term goals.
2. Pause and Reflect: Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. Carla encourages listeners to pause, lift their heads, and reflect on whether the motions they’re making are leading to the life they want. Are your actions building the life you envision?
3. Permission to Dream: Carla emphasizes that a vision doesn’t have to be grandiose or world-changing—it just needs to light a fire in you. Whether your vision is about personal joy, career fulfillment, or meaningful relationships, it should inspire action and keep you moving forward.
4. Aligning Your Actions: Once you have a vision, you can begin to make sure your daily tasks are in alignment with it. Carla discusses how small actions—like reaching out to a client or setting aside time for personal reflection—can help create the space and impact you want in your life.
5. Calming the Mind: A well-defined vision can also provide clarity and calm during moments of indecision or doubt. By filtering choices through your vision, you can simplify decision-making and reduce mental overwhelm.
6. Your Invitation to Act: Carla invites listeners to spend 15–30 minutes reflecting on or creating their vision for the future. Once you have your vision, revisit your to-do list and ask yourself: Are these tasks moving me closer to the life I want? Focus on adding tasks that align with your vision and create the feelings you desire in your life.
