I remember when the movie “The Secret” was released and there was a lot of excitement as well as controversy about it’s content. Can someone actually create their own prosperity through their thinking? Can someone also create their own destruction through their own thinking? My purpose here is not to debate the value of positive thinking, but I would like you to assume that it is true and that you can, to a certain degree, control your destiny.
If you saw The Secret, there was a part of the movie when John Assaraf was explaining how he had created a vision board with pictures, quotes, and affirmations. The scene follows that he was unpacking boxes with his young son and found the vision board he had created years ago. If you haven’t seen the movie, John begins to cry because there was a picture of a home on his vision board which was identical to the one where he was now living. He had actually imagined the home he wanted, found pictures of it, attached them to his vision board and he had forgotten about it. It wasn’t until he was unpacking boxes when he found that old vision board he created hears ago.
A vision board is just one form of visualization to help you remain focused, to help you in your concentrated efforts. If the focus of your (MDP) Major Definite Purpose is money, then you should collect pictures of money as well as how that money will change your life. If your MDP is to weigh 130 pounds, then the other pictures on your vision board would be how your new weight will make a difference in your life.
Some ideas about money related images might be the car you drive, the house you live in, the clothes you wear, or a vacation that you may take. The only limit is your imagination. How will your life change once you weigh 130 pounds? What are the images that illustrate the changes in your life? Looking great in a swim suit? Wearing designer clothes? Buying beautiful Italian leather dress shoes? It is all about what you imagine it to be.
Your Call to Action: Buy poster board material and make a 2 ft by 2 ft square. Then start looking through old magazines for pictures of what you want or how you want to look. Get pictures of money, cars, homes, clothing, technology…etc. Above all, you should write in your own handwriting, you Major Definite Purpose and have it somewhere at the top. Fill your vision board with the images of what your life would be like once you have achieved your goal. Hang your vision board next to a mirror that you would look at before you go to bed and when you awake in the morning. Your vision board should be the last thing you see before you sleep and the first thing you see when you wake up. Do this every day until you achieve your goal and have fun with it.
Make it a great day and stay connected,
