One of the best ways to explore your career vision is by using visual tools. Many of us have tried writing or thinking our way to something new, with limited results. That's because our "verbal" brain is our "logical" brain--the side of us that is both visioning and criticizing that vision at the same time. 

I wrote last week about compromising your vision. Your left brain excels at compromise. It is the "get real" part of your brain that is saying that you shouldn't expect to really get what you're visioning. 

Your right brain--your more visual, intuitive brain--isn't limited by these notions. It just knows what it wants. It can go beyond words, which is what you need at the visioning stage.
