The topic of vision boards keeps surfacing lately. Almost like a sign, it’s time to do my own Vision Board.
So what is a vision board? A visual representation of what goals you have and what you want and need to do in your life, and for yourself. A friend and I plan to take poster board and a variety of magazines, glue, markers and other art supplies, to create these. It might sound hokey, or lame, but it is good to cement what you want, and refer back to your goals when you need to clarify, or need focus.
Writing a personal mission statement might appeal to the writers of the group, where you can structure exactly what it is you plan to do with your life, and why. As one great speaker said to me recently “It’s like riding in a car. If you don’t know where you are going, how are you going to get there? And you have to decide, are you the driver, or the passenger? If you are the passenger, then you are simply along for the ride that is life. If you are the driver, you should know where you are going, and you will take yourself there.”
Made perfect sense to me.
I think my vision board will contain things like yoga symbols, plants, pens and paper, trees, sunshine…
Wow, that picture is already shaping up to show me that I likely do not want to be a powerful CEO after I achieve my master’s in business…Good to know.
I will share what comes out later this week when I sit with my most inspiring friend, and we shall see where we want to take our lives. After all, if we don’t know where we want to go, how will we get there?
