HAVE a clear VISION ...

-Have a clear vision of where the move will take you: 

A friend of mine recently had the sad task of convincing his parents to move out of their home of forty years and into a senior living center, a nursing home. His father’s health was failing, and the burden of caring for him had endangered his mother’s life too.

His parents did not want to move. They preferred to stay in their home, surrounded by neighbors they knew.’’we are happy here.

Why would we leave? they said.

He talked it over with his parents for more than a year before he convinced them to visit a very nice senior citizens community just a few blocks from their home. They’d formed an image of ‘’ old folks’ homes ‘’as cold and dreary places where ‘’old people go to die’’instead, they found a clean, warm, and lively place where many of their former neighbors were living and enjoying active days. It had a medical clinic staffed with doctors and nurses and therapists who could take over some of the care for my friend’s father that had weighed so heavily on his mother.

Once his parents had a vision of the new place, they agreed to move there ‘’we never thought it could be so nice ‘’ they said.

Moral of the story: if you have difficulty moving from where you are to where you need to go, it may help to get a clear vision of where the move will take you. This may mean scouting out a location, trying new relationships, or shadowing someone in a career you might want to pursue. Once you are more familiar with the new place, it will be easier to leave the old one.
