...Vision board and ramblings

I admit when I first heard about the vision boards, i thought they were some weird New Age creepy thing....lol! But i watched a video Shanel Cooper did on the subject and it really energised me. I realised a vision board is what you make it.

Whats so different between someone writing new years resolutions on a piece of paper, and someone grabbing a board and sticking pictures of their goals on it? Nothing at all really. Its a great tool for people like myself who are 'global' and like to see the bigger picture.
I mean I havent done anything like that since I was a kid, but once I got into it and had all my pictures and glue etc, i got into it. Its not about just sticking pretty pictures on it. its about really thinking about the things you want to 'attract' into your life. What is it that you really want? what are your hearts desires? once you get into it you will be really surprised what you find out about yourself.

I remembered how much I loved art. And a few weeks later I stood in the National Gallery looking at the works of Da Vinci, van Gogh and many of the great masters. The beauty alone made me want to cry.
I'm pretty sure I wouldnt have done that had I not been reminded on the day I sat down to make that board.
now my board is choc-a-block with all the things Im aiming for.

Why do I get out of bed every morning? For my present and my future....and what does that involve? the people I love, the things i love...hopes, dreams, aims, ambitions, goals.... to live for the glory of God
We are only passing through this earth and we must set our minds on higher things. Its important to keep that in mind, the way we live our lives here on earth will influence our life on the other side.

So what is important is to live each day to the fullest. One of the statements on my vision board is "JOY-Jesus Others Yourself", my late grandfather taught me that as a young girl. No man is an island, we must always live our lives with our focus to Heaven, we must love others and not forget ourselves.

So once you acknowledge all of that everything else will follow. Everything you need will be given to you in accordance. We were taught to pray and say "Thy will be done" and even though i have alot of things on my vision board, I know that I will receive what I need.

Ultimately I pray for balance and stability in my life.....to have peace in my heart. To have health and happiness. While I strive to attain the perfect career so I can get those clothes, those shoes, that house and that car, I never forget that i must strive harder for the Kingdom of Heaven.
