Correct Your Vision and Win! » Reba J. Hoffman, PhD


Glasses on little girlI’ve worn glasses or contacts since third grade. Interesting thing is that I can clearly see a mile without my glasses. The doctor said I’m farsighted. And color blind. I didn’t know what that meant so I became a student of eyesight at a young age.

Turns out we suffer from the same vision problems when it comes to our dreams. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Nearsightedness: When you are so focused on the immediate that you cannot see the length of your vision. None of us can really see that far into the future so you’re in good company.

Farsightedness: You can see close up and far away but you have challenges focusing on the task at hand. You would rather cast your vision out into the future. It’s much easier for you to stare into the distance than to what’s right in front of you.

Presbyopia: Your vision has become brittle, making you less flexible. The result is inability to see what’s happening right inEye exam Stuff front of your nose. You push your responsibilities farther and farther away, trying to improve your focus.

Astigmatism: The way you see your vision is distorted because your emotional eyes are misshapen. Things aren’t clear to you and, unless corrected, will remain blurry. This prevents you from accomplishing many of the things your vision would dictate.

Cataract: Because of the age of your vision, things begin to cloud over. This makes it increasingly difficult to see your dream. If left untreated, you eventually will be completely blinded to the vision of your dream.

The health of our eyes plays a huge role in our happiness and ability to function. It is rare these days to see someone who has not had some sort of correction of their vision by surgery, contact lenses or glasses. Using these technologies, people see clearly.

Once you do, you’ll see things with clarity like you’ve never seen your world before. When you see things so clearly, it will open up a whole new world for you.

Today’s Challenge: Take a look at your dream vision and determine where you have trouble focusing. Determine what you can do to correct that part of your vision and record it in a journal.
