Vision – Awakening Your Potential to Create a Better World

vision-cover-finalIf you’ve found your way to the TEL.A.VISION blog you must be interested in vision. Our friend, Dr. Peter Benson, from the SEARCH Institute has just written a book called “Vision – Awakening Your Potential to Create a Better World”. It is available here from the Templeton Press.

I’ve read the book and believe it is the perfect compliment to creating a vision video. Our hope is to create a curriculum on vision that would include reading the book and creating a TEL.A.VISION video.

Here are the publishers comments from the book’s order page:
According to Peter L. Benson, the capacity to generate vision is among life’s most beautiful and unheralded gifts. To him, a vision is more than just a goal, more than just a dream of what could be—it is a summons, a pull towards the future, an inspired call to make real that which should be. In Vision: Awakening Your Potential to Create a Better World Benson takes readers on an uplifting exploration of this powerful concept.

Once I started the book I couldn’t put it down. I’m sure you will enjoy it also.

TEL.A.VISION IGNITES SPARKS

Posted on 09. Jan, 2009 by Colleen Matschi in All Posts, Power of Vision, Vision Videos

sparksTEL.A.VISION helps youth ignite their sparks through creativity.  Sparks – Inner flames that breathe the passion of who we are into our lives.  Spark originates from inside you.  It is yours to claim, nourish and put into the world.  This is the theme to Peter Benson’s (Ph.D. and president of Search Institute) newest book, Sparks: How Parents Can Help Ignite the Hidden Strengths of Teenagers.

Benson’s research identifies 32 Spark categories including Creative Arts as the number one category under which our youth’s sparks are ignited.  Surveying American teenagers, it was found that 100% of kids clearly believe in the idea of spark. 69% of teens say they have spark and 62% say they can name their spark.  Identifying and claiming each of our individual sparks is the key to human thriving, being truly alive with passion and purpose.

Support our youth, become a Spark Champion.  Every young person is more likely to thrive if they have three or more adults who see, affirm and nurture their spark.  We want to commend Crystal for sharing her creative spark.  After participating in the 2008 HCHY Search Conference she felt compelled to TEL.A.VISION about Sparks.  Check out Crystal’s Sparks Tel.A.Vision.
