Happy New Year 🎆!
Some of you may recognize those phrases as the beginnings to scriptures about the importance of having a vision, Proverbs 29:18 and Habakkuk 2:2, respectively. Dictionary.com defines the word vision as follows: the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be. Researchers and statistics say that writing down and seeing our goals increases the likelihood of them coming into fruition.
In that vein, on this first day of 2023, allow me to share a yearly task that I put into practice a few years ago: the creation of a Vision Board. By definition, a Vision Board is a collage of pictures, text, and other items that represent and affirm one’s dreams and ambitions, created to help visualize and focus on one or more specific aspirations.
Humbly, collectively, the process of brainstorming, prioritizing, creating, posting, and viewing this visual reminder of what I’ve deemed important for the year has had a discernible impact on closing the gap on where I am and where I’d like to go.
Have you created a Vision Board? If so, please feel free to share your process and results. If not, I invite you to join me on my journey.
