So far I’ve instructed you on how to make a vision board (Part I) and I’ve showed you how it helped me (Part II). To close out my How To Create A Vision Board series, I’m shining the spotlight on you! I had an open call for people to submit pictures and stories of how they did their own vision boards, and how they’ve achieved success. I received some amazing submissions from three special ladies. Here they are:

I just read your post and I wanted to share a picture of my mini vision board that I created on my journal. I wanted to be filled with positive vibes so I put different words and things on the inside of my journal.

I even put the logo to our local newspaper, just because it was the letter b and my former last name is Brown. So I started actually reading the paper and thought about contributing.. about 4 months later I emailed the editor with ideas and I’m now a freelance writer for them.

My board focuses A LOT on career paths and professional goals and desires. It has a touch of spiritual and romance but not as much as the financial, career, etc.

Mia Anitas 2012 Vision Board

Last year when I still lived in L.A., I had a vision board party for my close friends. I didn’t tell them what we were doing, I just led them to believe it was a normal girls night event I usually had but just with a bunch of magazines. I then revealed what we were doing and we got to cutting. The process of creating the vision board really put into perspective of a persons goals or lack thereof. It makes you sit back and began a goal oriented thinking process that everyone doesn’t do automatically.

I’m submitting a pic of my vision JOURNAL. I wanted to give the traditional vision board a little twist (see her post here). I like this idea because I can carry it around with me AND write down things that are important to me/pertain to those goals. I love the idea of having them in the same place. And I can add to it as the year goes on! ๐Ÿ™‚

And there you have it ladies & gents! If the vision board concept can work for them, it can work for you. Do what suits your lifestyle best. Just remember to stay focused and all your dreams & desires will come true for you – one after another.
