What Happened to Your Dream?
Let me guess. You had a fantastic life dream and you knew this one was going to come true for you. You started making plans for action, you had it all laid out in your mind on how it was going to work out for you
and you saw your future with your dream coming true.
Let’s fast forward to a few months or maybe a year later. You vaguely remember the excitement you felt about your dream and you are not sure how you wondered off track. You feel let down because this is another dream that hsn’t come true for you. You wonder what happened?
Where Was Your Vision?
We live in a very complex and fast paced world today. It is easy to get distracted with all that is happening around us. Here are just a few examples:
- Television
- News
- Social media such as facebook, twitter and myspace.
- Family
- Bills
- Business or job,….and the list goes on and on and on!
It is easy to see that before long, we are way off track from our goals, dreams and visions. Chances are very strong, once we lose that momentum, we never get it back and we just plain give up. So, what can we do to keep ourselves focused and on track in pursuing our goals and dreams?
Keep Your Vision in Front of You!
There are many tools we can use to keep ourselves focused on the end result of o
ur dreams. We can hire a coach, a mentor, be part of a mastermind group or have an accountability buddy. These are all great and can help you achieve some tremendous results, and yet, there is something you can do by yourself to keep your “eye on the prize.” Start a vision board and place it in a location where you will see it often. A vision board can be made from a poster board and you can glue pictures and write comments on it that represent what you want to achieve. They are fun and easy to put together and are powerful tools to help you stay focused. Along with multiple vision boards I also place inspiring quotes and statements around my house as gentle reminders to what I want to accomplish. Move them around so that you don’t get accustomed to seeing them in the same place. Another great idea is setting up your vision as a slide show and make it your screen saver on your computer.
Start Your Vision Now!
Get started immediately, while your dream is fresh in your mind. This is a fun and effective meathod for you to self coach yourself to success! Your dream is waiting for you!

You obviously understand the value of knowing who you are, and getting clear on what you want. There is a big difference in results between simply “wishing” for something, and actually being able to define what you want and set the intention to get it.
Your idea of creating a vision board is outstanding. It keeps you focused on what you DO want. Like they say, you do get what you focus on, whether you want it or not. A vision board helps you focus on the right things.
Thank you!

Thank you for your comment Laurie and you are absolutely right, we tend to create our lives around our prominent thoughts and so it is important to keep our focus on the positive things we want to achieve.
First, let me say that the two of you are just AWESOME!
Second, the idea of creating a vision board is also AWESOME! Thanks Slawek so much for sharing this.
