The new year for me is
more than just a change in calendar. It’s also the beginning of a new year in
my life since it’s also my birthday on January 3rd so for me, it’s
the perfect time to change something I need to start doing better. It’s the
perfect time to take a good hard look at the things I want to change and
recognize what actions I need to take to do that.
This year I have decided
to make a new vision board. I like to make one from time to time as a reminder
of the things I need to focus on. This is the week to get out that cardboard
sheet and a glue stick and find some pictures to represent everything you ever
wanted! I hope you try doing this too. It works! It’s like a New Year
resolution but with a specific, attainable and measurable goal in mind. I got
this idea from Cristi who wrote an article about it on her weeds to wishes blog
on January 10,th 2014. I even reposted the article on my Facebook
page for all of you to read it because it has worked for me every time!
Example: one of the things I had placed on previous
vision boards was traveling extensively to amazing places like Japan, Uruguay,
El Salvador and Australia which has all come to pass. Another picture on my
vision board was buying and selling properties to expand my rental business
which has also come to pass. This past year, I sold my old home to purchase a two bedroom apartment in
City Creek. Another picture on my vision board was completing writing a chapter
on a book which came out this past April. Get the picture? Try it, I am sure
that whatever you place on that vision board will eventually happen because you
get so focused on getting it done!
One suggestion I have as
you prepare to make your vision board is to sit down and make a list of each of
your talents you see in yourself. Every one of us came into this world having
our own unique talents. Some are obvious talents such as music, dance, voice,
writing, painting, etc. while others have less visual talents so whether your
talents are obvious or not, the talents you have can become very powerful in
your life if you recognize them, develop them and appreciate them.
Think hard about it.
Make sure you remember to list every one of your talents and don’t be shy about
it. Even the ones that are not as obvious or visual. Keep those talents in mind
as you set your goals for the new year and make sure you are not ignoring those
things that will naturally make you a huge success in your life. And remember
that a loving Heavenly Father gave you those talents but what you do with them
is all up to you. It is our job to make the most of them.
My quote for the new
year I will place on my Vision board reads: “I want to remember that no one is
going to make my dreams come true for me… it is my job to get up every day and
work toward things that are deepest in my heart… and to enjoy every step of the
journey rather than wishing I was already where I want to end up.” Anonymous
Happy New Year Everyone!
Con amor,
