Too many of us are not living our dreams
because we are living our fears.
Les Brown
There’s little point working hard on clarifying our goals and vision for the future only to file it all away neatly — out of sight out of mind. A Dream (or Vision) Board is a visual representation of your goals and is a great way to keep your vision fresh and active. You can see the exciting future you’re working towards at a glance, and this will help keep you motivated and on track.
Your Dream Board can contain images, colours, words, poems, song lyrics, symbols, drawings — anything that you feel represents your vision in some way. I’ve seen a rather enigmatic picture of three plates on a Dream Board because their pastel shades represented a particular sense of calm and serenity for its creator. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you.
Alissa, one of my clients, leaves a few spots empty on her board so that she can edit her dreams and add new ones. She explains, “In this way, the Dream Board is constantly evolving and doesn’t just become a piece of furniture in my room that I don’t take notice of. More of an interactive thing, which totally helps with my day-to-day motivation.”
Once your Dream Board is finished put it somewhere where you’ll see it on a regular basis and use it as a visual reminder of your goals and dreams. Keep asking yourself, as Alissa does, “What can I do today to help me achieve those dreams?”
Think BIG.
There are unseen forces ready to support your dreams.

As soon as you start to pursue a dream,
your life wakes up and everything has meaning.
