For years I have heard about these things called vision boards. I have listened to others tell me how much it helps them visualize their goals. Many told me how having a vision board aids them in staying motivated throughout the year. I was also informed that it would be very beneficial to me in achieving my goals.
I wanted all of those things.
But I never made the damn vision board.
I’ve always had goals and plans, but I never took the initiative to visually depict them. I don’t even remember many times that I make them concrete by writing them out or vocalizing them to others.
I just kept them locked up in my brain and referenced them from time to time. Making the effort to create art surrounding my goals didn’t feel like a good use of my time.
And you know what?
Those goals of mine rarely got accomplished.
And if they did, they took a really long time.
Once I finally joined the vision board club, I understood how ridiculous I had been all of my life. This simple act was making something definitive. This was projecting to myself and the world that these were things that I was setting myself up to accomplish. The items displayed were dreams of mine, things that defined me and the person that I am and want to be. And what’s more, when I look at the vision board that I have created, I see something else that I didn’t expect.
I see hope.
And I see value.
To round it out, I see my worth.
This vision board that I put together was not just a depiction of the things I wanted to accomplish. What I saw in front of me was so much more than that.
Hope came through in seeing a better future for myself.
Value came through in that I knew that me achieving these feats would have an impact on myself, my family, and others around me.
Worth came in that I saw that I was deserving of these things. I was a person with the ability to achieve them and my worth was defined in my own dreams and aspirations that I displayed.
For so long I viewed a vision board as a silly little exercise with minimal meaning.
But I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The simple exercise that I pushed away for so long had a significant impact on me, much like when I speak things into existence. Because of it I saw myself in a different light. I felt more stable in my goals. The vision board made me feel validated in my choices, even though the board itself does nothing on its own but provide a vehicle for housing my goals and dreams visually.
Just the process made me more settled. It gave me the inspiration that I had been lacking, and it propelled me forward in making the necessary plans to achieve what I desired.
You can find my vision board on the desktop of my computer. It’s also visible on the home screen of my phone. I keep it front and center at all times so that I don’t lose sight of my end goal. Having a visual reminder throughout the day reminds me of what I have set out to accomplish. And that I am more than capable of doing so.
And it reminds me that I have value in this world, and the things that I will achieve will add further value as well.
It also reminds me that I am worthy of accomplishing my dreams. I am just as deserving as anyone else when it comes to doing so. And I have the ability to make it happen.
Take the time to create a vision board.
I want everyone to feel the satisfaction that I do. Because of that, I have made my own personal vision board template public for all to use and personalize for themselves.

Your article reminds me of the two times I ever created a vision board. I did it in a group-setting. As an individual, I find that I just do not have the time to do it as other things seem to always take precedence over it.
A love a good vision board, I think it’s a great reminder of goals and the things you need to accomplish. I definitely think when used the right way they can really do good things for you!
Thank you so much for reminding me about vision boards and writing our goals down. I do believe in its power because when I look back at my list and my boards, I am reminded that I have accomplished most of my list. Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll get back to it.
This is so true. Vision boards remind us to our goals! Thanks for this!

I’m not sure why I stopped doing vision boards but I used to find them really helpful. Thanks for the inspiration to get them going again
I love the concept of vision boards and I do have one. I made it digitally and even have it saved to my phone so I can reflect on it often. It is a great connection with the mind to focus on our goals.
This is so true! It is easy to get distracted or sidetracked from what we want because it takes time or things don’t seem to be going right. Vision boards really can help to keep those goals in the front of your mind and help you keep your eye on the prize. Great insights!
I made some vision boards years ago with companies I worked with. I would love to do some now for my stage of life. And I think I will make my kids do one too this week!!!
i also do believe in the power of vision boards. when you see all the time the goals you’ve written, you are constantly being reminded. and once you start acting on it, you’re a step closer. 🙂
I sat down last year and created a vision board. Having left the corporate world, returned to school and started by business, I knew that it was time to focus on where I wanted to go in life. After I did it, I made it the wallpaper for my cellphone and my laptop so that I see it as a reminder regularly.
It’s always good when you can find ways to make your life easier and your goals more attainable. Seems like it’s really working for you. Keep it up.
I’ve always wanted to do a vision board but I’ve never had the room. Can they be done virtually or do you have to always have them in sight when you’re at your desk etc?
this one is amazing….. and it is very beneficial for every reader…. even Thanks for reminding me again of my vision board….
Vision boards are great tools to keeping your life together. It seems like it is working pretty well for you. That is awesome.
It is important to have a vision board to build your dreams. Visualization is the key and you touched on that very well. Great article?
Vision boards really help you to grasp the new reality and tune for changes
This is really a great tool to remind oneself. Visualization really works better.

Hello 🙂
I really like the habit of “Vision Boards”! But, i always keep in mind 2 things:
1. I need to define “how” and “when” i will achieve my goals of the vision board
2. things don’t come magically because i visualize them! They need action, plan, time and effort to come alive!
Thanks for the post!
