The Courage To See By Vision Not By Sight with Amanda Heal


Listen Later

"What is the difference between vision and sight? “When we take a walk with someone and we see something, we may ask them, "What do you see?" or "What do you think about this?" These questions are made to stimulate their thinking. The same applies when we ask someone else to share their vision. However, if we are talking about vision as a way of seeing, then it is different from sight. When it comes to vision, there is a process involved in order to get what God has for us. We must have the courage to see things by vision, not by sight. This means that we have to have the courage to be able to see what God wants us to see, in spite of what the world tells us or even what our own eyes may show us.

Amanda’s Bio:

 

Amanda Heal is a resilience expert with an extraordinary life story. In her keynote talks, she shares her five keys to increasing resilience by building courage. Amanda survived being born 14 weeks premature. In the seven days when such tiny babies were not deemed viable, She was so small that her father could hold her in the palm of his hand. The oxygen, which actually kept her alive at birth, damaged her eyes, leaving her totally blind. But despite this, Amanda has continued to surprise people with her professional and personal achievements. After graduating with honors and law from the Australian National University, she embarked on a 17-year legal career. Amanda in her spare time climbed to an altitude of 10,000 feet in Nepal and conquered her phobia of getting lost to travel independently, both within Australia and overseas. When not speaking, Amanda is a podcaster. And she's the author of multiple books, the latest being Seeing By Vision Not By Sight: How to Discover Your Life's Purpose And Put It Into Action.
