The Magic & The Disaster
By Dr. William K. Larkin on May 7, 2012
If you have spent enough time in “flow,” and if you’ve got the idea of “just this” and can turn everyday life into a flow, then you have lived in the territory that allows desire and deeper wantings to emerge. They bubble up from the time spent in flow for longer and longer periods of time.
This increased sense of wanting and desire has led to “post it” notes, to a flushing out of what you want written on a post-it note. If those desires are real and true (and some of them won’t be… you just wad them up and throw them away) and when you start to arrange them into 5 categories, they begin to talk back to you. You begin to have a conversation with your categories and with the arrangement of your notes. It takes some time, it takes some playing with them. You have to sleep on it and work with them a bit, and maybe add some new ones, but they’ll talk back.
When those 5 categories have been completed, if they are a real representation of your desires and wants, they will lead to the formation of goals. These goals will also talk back and they will lead you to a vision. Perhaps not right away, but the vision will be there, or it will come. These 5 goals propel you to a vision and that vision has great power. It is like finding out your strengths and never again being able to say that you don’t know who you are. This time you can never say that you don’t know where you’re going, that you have no direction. 
It’s not necessarily airtight, and it’s definitely malleable and changeable, but what is produced is the sense that you know where you’re going, a sense of direction, of meaning, and purpose. It is not driven. It is inspired and it is unfolding. It’s a start but it has motion, velocity, and passion. You know who you are and you have a sense of where you are going. And you have the courage to know that it may well morph and change and become different and even greater. But it is an enormous door that starts to swing open inside your soul, especially if you have not done anything like this before.
A vision heals deep shame and it diverts your tendency to be ornery, aggravating and irritating. We are a “pain” when we are bored and directionless. We give others no rest in our discontent with life and we are always trying to rope them into being part of the blame or much more of the solution. We are just a nuisance. Even if we are quiet, withdrawn, and alone, we are still a source of worry and anxiety to others because we live in a way that suggests that others should pull us out of this. We wait to be rescued while denying to ourselves and others that we are.
The deeper disaster is that the absence of a vision and the discontent it breeds create a kind of stress that just causes trouble. It irritates. It is a stress that is beyond the usual stressors of life. And successful people irritate us or they create a slow burn. We certainly don’t encourage them to give us great details of their happily lived lives. It’s sort of like watching someone sleep soundly who doesn’t deserve it, while you can’t get to sleep to save your life. You just want to poke at them until they have to wake up and be miserable with you. This is an exaggerated metaphor but it serves.
This kind of stress, rooted in the absence of direction and psychic idleness, creates stress hormones called glucocorticoids. They do several things. They enlarge the activity of the amygdala and increase the neuropathic structure surrounding it. They damage the hippocampus and its relation to memory and they fray the endings of chromosomes, of our DNA, and cause cellular breakdown. 
This is the DISASTER. They increase negative emotions and decrease the potential to feel positive ones.
Bored and idle minds cause trouble and irritation in a peaceful world in one way or another, and being directionless is the deepest form of emptiness. It is not a lack of love. It is a lack of a sense of direction, of meaning making, and of personal significance that gives some kind of love and receives it in tangible forms of creation. LOVE, love, love is not the answer. It is what is created in the nature of the vision in one form or another that inevitably carries the fruit of love as its expression of creativity.
The magic is the vision that interacts with the rest of creation and carries it forth in one way or another. The disaster lies in its absence.

Based on your post-its, what “threads” are emerging as potential parts of your personal vision? Which of the categories of the FuturePac seem most powerful in terms of how they attract and draw you? Tell us what they are and how you see these early “threads” of a personal vision emerging. Match a strength or strengths to these “threads” and give us 1 example of how strengths can support you in realizing your potential vision.
What I find interesting is the intertwining of certain threads. ‘Family’ profoundly affects ‘Home & Environment’. I can see an amazing apartment building and think “that is where I want to live” but an apartment doesn’t support my vision for my family. I have to go to honesty and ask myself how I want to raise my children. Plenty of children are raised in apartments and that is perfectly fine but that is not what I want. I want a yard and a garden that my partner and I can tend to and teach our children how to grow their own food. After being honest about what I want I HAVE to be able to honestly see it in my mind. Can I create a clear vision in my head, not just on pieces of paper.
I also find myself focused on the ‘Professional’ but in doing so ‘Education / New Learning’ comes up for me. I am ready to begin my coaching practice but there are courses and certifications that I do want to work on as well. I have to put all this into perspective because I can do both, it is not one or the other for me. I don’t have to wait to take this course or get that certification to start my business. I can begin my practice with the qualifications I have now and I know everything I do in the future will only benefit my business and add value to what I can do and offer clients.
Connectedness comes through loud and clear for me during this practice. It is no coincidence that my goals are intertwined. I have faith in these links and hold true to my vision.

Three future pack categories have most clearly jumped out as being powerful, two that I expected, and one that I did not. My professional category has been one that I have been spending a lot of focus on, but prior to working on the post its and now working on my goals, I haven’t had a clear vision of my business and my own professional development. My goal formulation in this area is a work in progress and yet all of the “wants” are laid out and are jumping up and down asking for attention and priority. I feel excited and energized by knowing that there are many directions to pursue rather than feeling aimless and being easily distracted because I haven’t known where I wanted to go. One of the beauties of this exercise is that it is opening up more thoughts and ideas for opportunities rather than narrowing me down to one path that I set up for my self to plod along faithfully but unenthusiastically. I use many of my strengths in my coaching practice but the one that I will use to help me further develop my professional goals will me that of Curiosity—it will help me pursue many avenues of interest and follow others as they open up. The second strong area that has emerged is in the Physical category. Although I am not surprised about my interest in this category, I am surprised at the depth and wealth of post-it notes relating to this category. I am learning that the Physical is more important to me than I realized. I have many strands of physical post its—some are in the area of sports competition, some are in ingesting healthy foods and supplements, some are in general fitness, some are in vanity and beauty (a bit embarrassed about those, but they won’t be ignored!). Fleshing out this goal and therefore elevating its importance in my conscious mind allows me to give myself permission to make my exercise routine a priority instead of just something I have to squeeze in here and there. For example, in facing a scheduling conflict with a potential new client vs. my training for a track competition, I was able to structure a thought process for making a decision that I felt happy about, instead of heading into a down spiral of feeling conflicted and irritated. When we feel irritated and anxious it is because we don’t know what we want. The post it process and that goal setting is clarifying what I want and keeping me out of down-spiral thinking. A strength I am using in realizing a lot of my Physical wants is Perseverance. I need a LOT of perseverance to keep at the disciplines necessary to achieve my goals in this area! The third area, the one that surprised me as having as much strength and pull as it did was in Home and Environment. I had more post it notes for that than in any other area. Currently I am an empty nester living in a suburban family home and I have been considering many options for my next move. Many thoughts and desires have been bubbling under the surface for quite some time. This exercise brought out so many thoughts and wishes, some of them conflicting, but I am not judging that and I am giving all of them to get equal consideration. And what a relief! Finally a process is here for helping me sort myself out to get a clearer picture of where I may be going next! A strength that will help me achieve this goal is that of Connectedness. Being connected to my true self and interweaving the different aspects of my life to feel connected to old and new areas of my life through this transition will help me achieve these goals with calmness and Certitude.

1) The blog proposes that the collection of your post-its “talks back to you” if it has emerged from your more sustained experience of “flow.” Summarize what your post-its are telling you in terms of what you REALLY want, what’s becoming clear as a result of engaging in this process? Additionally, what has emerged from your post-it process that you’d classify as “not wanted” that you initially thought you did? Provide a strength or strengths in your answer and show how they can support you in “having it all” as well as clarity in walking away from what you have discovered no longer seems “a fit.”
The process of my post-it notes was definitely talking to me. There it was, clearly on some post it notes… in the area of fun, play and also environment….my strength of appreciation of beauty saying that it needed much more than it had been getting. I have been focusing so much on my other strengths the past few years, that this part of my life which involves the arts and design, was placed on the back burner. Yes, with my recent move to a new house and the opening of my new office I used my art and design background, and it felt so good! After writing post-it notes related to this subject, the universe brought me an opportunity to use this strength again doing free lance design at the same time as working on my stronger goal of growing my practice. How lucky to be able to use several of my strengths! My other strengths of love of learning, empathy, connectedness, etc. all seem to correlate with the overlapping goals, which tend to be related to my work, to my practice and to a future non-profit. I guess I am at a time in my life when I want to use all I have learned to help others and to somehow help our world.
As far as walking away from what no longer fits… it will take more time to figure that out, and be sure.

Based on your post-its, what “threads” are emerging as potential parts of your personal vision?...
I’ve watched my post-it’s evolve over the past few weeks. They started out quite superficial. Mostly because I’ve been taught to be modest and only want for the things in life that I really need. Therefore initially, as I had mentioned in class I felt like a child writing out my Christmas list. As time passed and I was able to get out all of my inner child wishes and wants, there was a distinct shift in my words.
Pulling its way forward were my desire’s surrounding work, financial and spirituality. It wasn’t until we started this post-it note project that I realized just how excited and driven I am regarding my career. I had been at a point before in the past where I was energized and completely in flow in when I came to my work. I’ve been longing for that feeling with great desire to find that place again. Until now I hadn’t realized that I was unclear of my career choice. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do. I also struggled with feelings that pushed me into thinking that I had to return to the career that once made me happy. The job itself no longer excited me but living life in flow does! Now, it’s abundantly clear to me how much I hunger to be a Life Coach and just how devoted I am to becoming one. This automatically links in the other two threads. I know that once I am thriving in my career my financial wants will follow. Walking the walk, talking the talk and loving the life it provides is bringing me closer each minute. Using the tools that I’ve learned to keep my VibeCore score high aids me in doing this, thus putting my trust in the how and knowing that I will get it.
What seems to have spoken the loudest are my desires involving the spirituality. This is by far the most “powerful”. As I wrote my post-it’s, these were the most intense. They range from knowing and loving God to wanting respect. These were the words that had me in awe once my hand lifted from the paper and gave me that I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW I WANTED THAT!!!! feeling.
I see that using my Input strength will help me achieve my goals that surround work & finances. It was a lost memory but now I recall that that is exactly the strength I used when I was successful in these areas in the past. I gladly lapped up information, filed it away and put it to action. Simple as that! When it comes to spirituality, my strengths of Kindness and generosity and Honesty, authenticity, and genuineness will support me best. I’ve been holding back from these strengths for some time now. The disconnect that was created as a result had me questioning myself and my beliefs. I know that I need to be kinder to myself as well as honest about what it is that I truly require and believe in. The post-it’s spelled that out loud and clear.

The magic from the sticky notes where a surprise to me. I found all of these things and experiences that I wanted to have. The first step was the freedom in picking my choices. What hit in my heart and made me want to seriously look in the mirror and say okay yeah that’s me. Then to tie the strengths into the picture and become a million dollar photograph. My strength of developer kicks in taking me to a higher level as to develop myself. See myself as that person that I comment on to others and to allow myself to become that person in the notes. Then learner kicks in and I am off to the races racing and studying others mining for the gold nuggets the wisdom to apply into my own life. The strength of connectedness kicks in and here I find myself wanting to build relationships with others that are about quality and lasting. Building them up as they inspire me along my journey. The whole process here really involves taking the brain from just a general thought to a higher level that I can have be and do anything that I set my mind too. Changing the focus from just drifting along in life to setting the direction and allow the ship to sail into that destination and being there to change the course if a minor adjustment is needed. We are the captains of our own destiny. We chart the course and we know what the end result looks like. I was interested in the one line in the article about the restless mind with no direction I have to admit that is true in life I find more people playing the blame game because they are not happy and when I ask the question okay what is going to make you happy the deer in the headlight jumps put at them. Not a clue but they are angry at a spouse a parent or themselves. We have to give the brain a task to perform to keep it working in a zone other than that we will be at the mercy of all of those negative thoughts and emotions. Becoming the prisoner instead of the captain.

Not surprisingly, the threads in my personal vision that are clamoring the most loudly are “Professional” and “Education / New Learning.” I say not surprisingly, because six of my top ten strengths (love of learning, curiosity, intellection, ideation, input and maximizer) all tie in to education / new learning and my desire to share my knowledge with others through my coaching business. All my strengths (both those mentioned previously and the additional strengths of bravery, future mindedness, & creativity) are supporting me in launching and growing my coaching business.
For example, for the past week I focused on my strength of “bravery”. Although the knowledge that people see me as courageous isn’t new to me, the knowledge that courage is a strength I can call upon daily to override procrastination and various fears that might be keeping me from moving forward has been a valuable asset. Maximization is another strength that I hadn’t explored in detail before this class. Defining it for myself not just as something that helps me see the strengths and positivity in others, but also as a strength to use on myself to draw out my best work has helped move my business forward. This past week I called on both of them to kick myself into gear, publicly announce that I’m open for business, advertise my upcoming workshops, and promote the business through some free customer service workshops in the community.
The clarity of my personal vision emerging through the combination of these categories is also evolving. Throughout my grad school program, I struggled to gain clarity in choosing one issue I could focus my efforts on. The “roast” for me at our graduation ceremony poked fun at my bleeding heart … from environmental issues to human issues, they all matter to me and none stood out as “mine”. I have discovered that the reason I can’t choose just one is because my “issue” is global, institutional and systemic. The global economic system, which is focused on profitability at the expense of both human and environmental well-being fuels my fire and creates a rabid passion for change.
My coaching business so far takes just one small step towards that vision, but in it, I’m building the foundation for a business with the purpose of creating a more flourishing community, and opportunities to go from personal coaching to community building, to whatever comes next in my desire to help create a new economics for the betterment of our world.

By far the most powerful category emerging from my FuturePac is Professional. Attracting ANI seems to be the catalyst for solidifying and completing some very malleable goals begun from seeds planted by a presentation at an International Conference at which I spoke nearly eight years ago.
It was from this conference that my strengths of ideation, strategic and social intelligence produced my first taste of ‘flow’ on both a personal and professional level. At the time, I had no concept of the meaning of ‘flow’, I just knew it felt really, reall, really good, like I had ‘come home’. It frightened me somehow?!
It was the positive feedback and requests for ‘more’ from the attendees to my presentations that fostered the realization of my ability to take diffuse and conceptual information and present it in ways that make the information ‘take home ready to use’ for attendees.
However, in the ensuing years, I allowed fear and self doubt to self- sabotage further efforts to produce these presentations into formal written programs/or a book, despite offers and encouragement from publishers and authors in similar fields to help me complete the programs and write the book.
The theme that is powerfully emerging from my FuturPac is that the Future is NOW! The ANI tools are strengthening, broadening and building my neuropathways for throwing opening the doors for creating the programs and book that have been lying dormant in my neural dungeons of self doubt for the past eight years!
Just recently a publisher contacted me asking if I was still sitting on the material I’d previously submitted and as well, a published author in a similar field reminded me that he was more than willing to endorse any book/or program I create…..now if that isn’t the universe yelling….not sure what would be!

As I start to analyze my post-it notes in each of the 10 original categories I laid out the predominant theme emerging is how I am creating a sense of being. In other words, there are material desires to include financial abundance, etc. however the majority of what I have noted has to do with how I feel on this human journey. Passion about my profession, a deep and sensual love for another, joyful and playful, light and serene, youthful and happy are many examples of what I have written down. What surprises me most is that I am generally a very structured person however I have not written lots of structure around what I desire.
One of the most powerful categories are my financial and professional desires. I want to feel that I am inspiring others to be happy and live their optimal life. It is about extending myself for the purpose of igniting enthusiasm in the hearts of others. I want to be a coach that is expert at ID-OK. I am attracting individuals into my life that will benefit from what I have to offer. I am an effective and inspiring speaker. Other than that I have noted some desired structures like working at home but now that I have opened myself up for how it will happen I will be discarding these post-its since I will not be making use of them.
Instead of stating I want to work at home I am attempting to put down what it would feel like to work at home. What is that feeling I am trying to capture. It would be a feeling of freedom, a since of control over my own schedule are examples of how my post-it notes are evolving.
Another example is of my home. Instead of defining how many bedrooms, baths, etc., I put large, busy, joyful house. My bedroom is my sanctuary and a beautiful, inviting outdoor space as examples.
Finally, when I consider my strengths and how they can support my vision Maximizer comes to mind. It is this number one Gallup strength that will be the driver in achieving my vision in every aspect of my life. A pursuit of excellence is my measure of success. Not excellence in a competitive way and how I compare to others. More importantly, striving to live my optimal life so that I can be an example for those seeking theirs will be my motto. My number one VIA Strength of Gratitude will be the anchor to which everything will fall into place. My ability to feel a deep sense of gratitude each step of the way will draw my wants and desires even closer to me. With a measure of Positivity my enthusiasm will be contagious and I will draw a loyal group of followers that will want to be around me. With the important layer of having the Capacity to Love and be loved I will have the ability to feel all of the wonderful feelings our human life has to offer.

Based on your post-its, what “threads” are emerging as potential parts of your personal vision?
One thread that emerges is that I really want to be physically fit because my adventure and education and new learning file is packed! This is also a reflection of my curiosity and interest in the world.
Which of the categories of the FuturePac seem most powerful in terms of how they attract and draw you? I know that continuing to grow is a core value of mine and I can see that both my spiritual and growth folders are stuffed with ideas. My strength as a developer will also come into play.
Tell us what they are and how you see these early “threads” of a personal vision emerging. Match a strength or strengths to these “threads” and give us 1 example of how strengths can support you in realizing your potential vision. I combined the New and Novel and Adventure category, one of my strengths is ideation and bravery to forge these paths. Selecting ideas to move forth with will be my challenge. For me this means letting my futurepak speak to me about a career and getting clear which direction makes me feel most in flow.

#1. Share the most current version of your vision statement. Tell us the story of how it developed as a result of your ANI training. And then, tell us how it evolved and changed. Share your changes and tell us how our ANI training supported you in refining your vision.
I wrote my latest version of my vision statement today. It has been percolating within me for some and I am still in the process of making revisions. However, I wanted to share it as my current version of my vision statement.
I invite and empower the global flourishing of “positive pairs” - couples who are engaged in strength-based relationships and who are dedicated to mirror the best in one another.
With regard to how my vision statement has developed, evolved, and changed, let me say that this is my third vision statement since I began my ANI training. From the beginning of the process, Drs. Larkin and Johnson stressed the belief that visions are infinitely malleable and can change. In addition, I learned that by taking the three month action steps toward my five years goals, I would obtain greater clarity about my life vision. (The perspective one has at the onset of the process changes.) My experience in the beginning was that my vision was more generic or global and was not based yet in personal experience. Also, I did learn that some of my wants, desires, and needs began to lose my interest; whereas, others began to surface.
1rst Vision Statement - I (we) empower those who are seeking to unleash and manifest VISIONS in their lives of vibrant health, spiritual clarity, and emotional well-being.
(This became the Mission Statement for the http://www.mindbodyvisions website that is currently being revised.)
2nd Vision Statement - My life purpose is to mirror the divine in other through the path of soulful listening as an “act of love”.
(More personal and indicative of a therapist’s role)
3rd Vision Statement - I invite and empower the global flourishing of “positive pairs” - couples who are engaged in strength-based relationships and who are dedicated to mirroring the best in one another.

“The magic is the vision that interacts with the rest of creation and carries it forth in one way or another. The disaster lies in its absence.” This has been amazing journey for me. It actually started two and a half years ago. I got off course by my husband’s illnesses and surgeries a while back, but these past 18 weeks have helped me get back on track and get very clear in my vision. In the movement of which I am a minister, there is a practice we call Visioning. From the first time I visioned for myself, every time, the answers were abstract and I just couldn’t get a handle on the meaning. With every week, I have become more clear about who I am and what my purpose is. I have been clear for several years about my ministry, but as for myself…I was a little murky. That may sound contradictory, but the clarity I have about my ministry is that I was called to God, to be more fully God to myself, first. Everything and everyone else is secondary. I know that until I know that I am fully God, I really can’t minister to anyone else. And though I knew Who I am, intellectually, I sometimes had difficulty with it emotionally. More than any work I have done in the past 12 years, knowing Who I am emotionally is the most important work. And I have come to know this through the class. As for my vision…I also realized my vision for myself was being subsumed by my needing to immerse myself in my center, and I was torn over the two, One day I realized I was thinking either/or, when it could be both/and. When that thought emerged, I felt a tremendous shift! As I looked over my post-it notes, the ones I’ve done during this class, and the ones I had done previously, I saw that some of the things i wrote before have been accomplished and some no longer mattered. And, I saw that I could write professional goals until my hand ached, and see them fulfilled!, but when it came to wild, fun, and frivolous, I was stumped! So, I sat with those headings and just let my fantasy run wild. It’s interesting, wild is a word, a feeling, that has called to me for years, but I just couldn’t see how I could let myself be wild. I love the word. So I, in my fashion, researched it. And loved what I discovered. One meaning for wild is “natural”. That so fits me. When I just sat with the word and let the meanings wash over me, I felt another shift. Wildness calls me, and yet, scares me. What will I be if I let my wildness out? I can hardly wait to find out! Oh, and wild answers my visioning…which has, every time, been, it’s time to step into my greatness, my power.

I personally have discovered new and brilliant ideas which were uncovered through this process. These new goals have been set into an action plan and I find myself more proactive than before!After practicing this technique, I have concluded that this blog’s claim is accurate. As with anything in life, we begin to recognize what we truly desire once we begin our search. The idea of finding true meaning and purpose which was unconscious can also be related to the phenomenon of science. Every year we astound ourselves with the technology which was once view as impossible and absurd. If we close off our mind to negative input from external sources and listen to what we are messaging to ourselves, we will amaze ourselves. One of my favorite quotes also agrees: “If we all did the things we were capable of, we would literally astound ourselves” )Thomas Edison.

Match a strength or strengths to these “threads” and give us 1 example of how strengths can support you in realizing your potential vision.
There are three “threads” that have emerged from my post-its and real life experiences to stand out and be focused on. The first comes from the “Spirituality” category and the second two come from my “Relationship/Intimacy, Friendship, Family” category, and these are the categories that attract and draw me the most. The threads are: Spiritual development and practices, heart-centered living, and intimate connection. For me, all three fit together to a significant degree, with Spirituality being most important, but Heart-centered living being necessary for both Spirituality and Intimate connection. They are interconnected and sometimes are hard for me to separate, especially in my relationship with my partner.
Spiritual develop and practices: The more I open up to the spirit world the more I know its value and importance, and the more I accept and embrace my spirituality as my true identity. After survival needs I see spiritual as the most important focus of my life. It is a significant part of my vision. This is something that is the foundation of my new relationship. She is much more connected than I, so I am committed to raising the level and quality of my love, joy, and VibeCore, for myself and us.
In my personal vision spirituality is will be the main focus of my life and everything that else will be influenced by how it fits into that reality. My spiritual connection with myself is an image of a white and red primarily, high-energy UpSpiral.
Strengths: These “threads”
Heart-centered living: This loving approach to living is the primary way that I deal with others. It certainly is the way that I interact with my partner but also friends and colleagues. I am learning to deal with everyone that way, even difficult drivers. Ultimately I function better from this approach, others approaches tend to have to many negative aspects.
In my personal vision Heart-centered living is the expression of my spiritual and intimate with other people and a close emotional connection.
Intimate connection: These intimate emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational connections that make my life worth living. It’s in intimately connected relationships that I trust, learn, grow, and rejuvenate the most and the most profoundly.
My personal vision is my intimate connection is my jumping up and down with joy, while hugging.
Spiritual develop and practices:
Heart-centered living:
Intimate connection:
Strengths: Strengths that match these “threads” is Love. As I learn to open up to and embrace Love for myself, my partner, other people, this world and the spiritual dimensions. My fears cannot exist together with Love. When I focus on a fear and then bring in love, the fear disappears.
