Welcome to Session 2…Being a Visionary Architect for Your Life

My mom was an artist. She was an educator, an entrepreneur…but was an artist first. She embodied a creative spirit and soul that became the foundation by which she lived her life and implanted that beautiful, creative spirit into my sister and me. She was a visionary, but she was also goals-oriented. She had a gift for seeing, planning and manifesting her future outcomes. From how she would raise her daughters, to designing ways that would deeply impact amazing educational experiences for her students, through a new educational business venture she would embark on. She believed in the power of creating something that was exciting, stylish, intellectually gratifying or what may not be available in the needed capacity…a philosophy that shaped my entire life. 

Let me share two examples of this philosophy in practice. I love amazing clothes and have always enjoyed dressing with a stylish edge since my youth. There were certain styles and shapes to clothing that I just did not see out there or were financially out of reach – this was during my high school, college and early full-time teaching years – So how did I solve this dilemma? I created what I wanted. I learned to sew from my grandmother (and mother) at a young age, designed my own clothing collection, and even created a small business providing my unique style to others.

Here’s another example. I enjoy supporting students, educators and organizations with a specialized, impactful pedagogical approach to teaching and learning. Yes…in my varied roles in education as a teacher, director and administrative leadership, I integrated many of those best practices, which always yielded great success. However, there were organizational limitations and systemic constraints…not implying that these were negative…it was the vision and mission of those organizations…that I also complied with. However, I wanted to do more that would encourage even greater positive results for many. Rather than become frustrated that I could only implement 25% – 40% of my developed approaches, I instead created and built a platform, Felicia Clotworthy Collective, that would serve many and not just a local school-based organization or community. I share these examples because the power to create is liberating, but it starts with a vision and you have that gift.

My mother was what I called a visionary architect… a person with a vision to design, plan, and assemble the components needed to build. Visionary Architects are individuals who are inspirational. They imagine what’s possible…sometimes what’s impossible. They lay the foundation with clear intentions, draw up precise plans centered by established goals, and then take the powerful steps to create it. 

Are you ready to become the visionary architect of your own extraordinary life? Here are five steps to become your own muse and create the life you envision:

Step 1: Connect With Your Inner Voice: Find a quiet space, get into a meditative reflective place. Perhaps find a guided meditation app to get you started. Then just be quiet, allowing yourself to listen to your inner voice. What kind of life truly resonates with your soul? What experiences do you crave? What impact do you want to make? Don’t censor yourself; let your deepest desires surface, no matter how grand or specific. It’s moving beyond what’s possible right now, it’s connecting to what truly lights you up.

Step 2: Visionary Journaling – Write to Manistest Your Future: Once you’ve tapped into those desires, grab your journal. List what you want. Write about your future. Describe your “future self”, “business idea”, “financial goal”, etc. in detail: what you do, how you feel, the choices you make, the impact you’re having. This powerful exercise imprints your vision onto your subconscious and helps bridge the gap between your present and your desired future, setting the stage for how you will proceed.

Step 3: Construct Your Vision Board: Now, bring those written dreams to life visually! Gather images, words, and symbols that represent your ideal future – from career aspirations to personal well-being, relationships, and adventures. Arrange them on a physical board or a digital collage. Make it artistic, collaged, vibrant, and exciting, and motivating. Then display it somewhere. This tactile exercise will become your powerful, daily visual reminder that keeps you focused on your aspirations.

Step 4: Research Your Vision Plans – Map Out the Path: Being a visionary is dreaming and making those dreams tangible. Once your vision is clear, start to research what systems, skills, or connections you have and might need to bring it to life. This could involve learning new skills, connecting with mentors, exploring resources, or understanding the steps involved in your chosen path. Break down your vision into actionable, manageable steps.

Step 5: Daily Connection & Intentional Action. Dedicate a few minutes daily to connect with your vision. Look at your vision board, reread your journal entries, and envision yourself doing what you are planning. Let the feeling of your future permeate your present. This consistent connection reinforces your commitment and guides your daily actions, turning your visionary dreams into your extraordinary reality, one intentional step at a time.

These approaches center the ways we embrace infinite possibilities. It’s tapping into your inner brilliance and recognizing that you are your own greatest muse. You possess the incredible power to design and manifest an extraordinary life, right here, right now.
