MAKE IT HAPPEN: THE POWER OF VISION

The mind is the reality. You are what you think. This is why we must always feed our minds with positive thoughts and always believe in ourselves.

So imagine living a life you consider balanced and ideal. Dig deeply into the desirable details of your job or career, your relationships, and the passion and hobbies you pursue. Take pleasure in the fulfillment of your experience. Create pictures from that perspective and turn them into a visual, motivating collage. These will form the basis of your vision board goals.

What are you doing to possess this exciting life to happen? Assess your future self to go beyond your present self. Paint a picture of all that you perceive and realign this with creativity.

To see is to believe. Visualizing and imagining creatively can help increase your motivation and confidence, as well as set your mind up for success in many areas of your life.

You have a vision but now what will you do? A powerful visualization tool that will help you get into the right mindset is what you called a vision board. Now, it's time for an action board as it allows you to attract what you want or desire into your life.

Countless people have had great success with the vision boards and one of these people is yours truly. The typical way of what I’ve done on making a vision board before is to cut some images from the magazines since they can snap you out of any hesitancy you might feel towards drawing. Let me share with you how I continually pursue my dreams out of my visions as I can also find pictures that are similar to those I see in my imagination. These pictures represent the different actions I will take every year.

Back in 1986 when I was six, this is where I started cutting out photos from the colored magazines, which served as my toys since we didn’t have toys during that time. Out of nowhere, I just imagine if money and resources were not limited, how do I see myself in the future? It was just a cut-out from the magazine of the things we don’t have like cars, houses, furniture, bags, shoes, clothing, jewelry, fancy food, etc. These cut-out photos were kept inside the brown envelope. Occasionally, I opened it whenever I wanted to play. With this, I didn’t realize I was creating a vision board. I just learned of that vision board when I enrolled in Speech Power and Personality in an acting class at Tapalla Academe of Speech and Personality. After some thought, I make it a habit to visualize my dream board every year to focus my energy and actions in the right place.

2006 is the year I have started making an excel file of the goals I want to accomplish, no photos, and allocation of savings. My way of thinking back then was to invest in my improvements, learnings, and social activities to overcome my lack of self-confidence. It has been my dream to establish an international creative agency where we will house talented young individuals from low-income families. To train them, provide them housing, and eventually work with us and showcase their talents internationally. As an ordinary employee, I know it would be hard for me to reach those goals; without capital investment, it would not be easy to establish a business. It would be hard to attain the photos on my vision board. But seeing all of your goals in one group does motivate and excite you to try to achieve them!

Working from the "big picture" goals or my long-term goals and segmented them into immediate plans —every possible each year, and potential roadblocks and actions needed to attain those goals—every step of learning I need to undergo before reaching that destination. This action helps me stay focused on short-term goals, one at a time, as I make the many small steps toward those "big pictures." This is when I began to create more specific actions.?My long-term plans became more focused, more detailed, and better planned so that each activity was working toward more than one of my year's goals.

In 2011, this is when I created my first action boards. This is when I started the vision board with photos that have been grabbed from google. Highlighting the notable visions that I have annually but some happened after a few fears and counting. From buying a new car, having a fully paid housing loan I applied for located in Cavite, securing an insurance for myself and my family, studying in an international school to attain an extra advantage for higher education abroad, taking short courses to expand my knowledge and enhance my career opportunities, getting my Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in where I gained a Marketing Excellence award successfully to draw bigger opportunities, exploring more places locally and internationally by traveling to create best experiences, identifying projected or target next year savings or value, investing to buy a farm house, buying my own condo, planning to buy a beach lot and a prime residential lot (valley view), expanding to have a new bigger car for my resources and needs, opening a newest cabin getaway (A-Frame House) I dreamed of, putting a south coast beach house in the next few years with my much-earned savings and lastly, finding my soulmate with having a family in mind is always there on my list. A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles that is why my faith keeps me pushing forward fruitfully.

It was a long-term vision on my end. I look at it to keep me motivated whenever I'm feeling down. Despite the hardships and struggles every day. Despite the responsibilities I have as a breadwinner, this is what drives me to accomplish what I have started. As I’ve come up with my own vision board, I let my creativity rule. This is something that is meant to inspire me each and every day I wake up as it helps me to be inspired to create my goal board, and then make it my own. Thus, I always keep my vision board accessible and visible all the time to set my single task into motion.?

No matter how difficult our life gets every day, finding a way to acknowledge the daily blessings that we have, even in the minutest of minutes renders positive reinforcement around us. I have always believed that gratitude is a powerhouse in itself because the energy it generates can make our life glow with inner contentment.

It’s a full circle. The learning, improvements, progress, and explorations I made there still stay intact. For 2023 and beyond, this is the time to see everything. As I dream of this vision board, I believe that I can achieve anything I desire and put my trust in the law of attraction. Just keep in mind that anything that can motivate you and keep your attention on what you desire is going to be a benefit for you. Sometimes delay happens, but 90% of these visions do come true. How can we change anything in our lives if we continue to think and do the same things? The more we can think in a creative way about what we desire the faster it will come to us. Think of it as a vision board for your life. You’re letting the universe know exactly what you want in life.?????????????

Exercising positively the law of attraction vision board to keep your thoughts on what you desire, will manifest your desires and goals faster than you ever thought possible. Manifesting and the law of attraction possibly work. You must have faith and know that the universe is going to deliver what you desire. I have worked toward each large goal in smaller, focused steps as you also need to take it one, active step at a time.

Yes, I am ready to continue what I’ve started, constantly taking action and growing toward my vision board goals in 2022 and beyond!
