"A goal is just a dream with a deadline"
~Terry Miller
The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
Elbert Hubbard
Do you visualize your success? If not, why not? If you do visualize your success then how do you visualize it? I have a vision board in my office and I love it. If you don't have a vision board you can see every day I recommend you make one as soon as possible. It's actually very fun and quite entertaining once you get started. Some people like to keep their dreams private and hidden away, maybe for fear of them. Not me, it doesn't matter who sees my visions or dreams. The fact is if they don't appreciate the fact that I have a vision of what my future holds, they're probably not in my future anyway. Your vision board is just that, your vision board so do it the way you want. Mine is full of places to see and things I want to do. It's all in color and in full view of anyone who walks into my office. Sure I get to answer lots of questions about it and it is always my pleasure to do so. It also reminds me of what I want to achieve and accomplish every time I get the opportunity to talk about my vision board.
The idea for the vision board I created came from the book and the movie called "The Secret". If you haven't read or watched the Secret I recommend you do so at your earliest convenience, you owe it to yourself, trust me. The Secret helped me use more of my mind in a positive and constructive way. It encourages the positive visionary side of your personality. I have found some people who don't believe in the findings or training the secret encourages and you guessed it. They are generally negative and short sighted. It took me almost forty eight years to finally realize I could be happy and positive and not feel guilty or ashamed of it. For me, there is no going back to the dark side. As I have aged I notice different things make me happy and content. It might be a simple weekend trip with my wife or watching a movie and entertaining friends and relatives. While everyone understands my business style is wide open and hard charging, they also realize that I love to relax and kick back a bit. Do yourself a favor and learn to relax before your forty eighth birthday. That way, you won't have to hurry and catch up like I did.
