What I know for sure is that every success story started with a dream. Most of us think that if we do more, we’ll have more so we can do more. The problem is, you can’t hit a moving target, so as you’re doing more, it’s important to know where you’re going in life and business. You must have a vision and a plan so that every step moves you in the direction of your vision. The road to success is always under construction because life has its share of challenges. However, how one responds to those challenges determines if life is lived in a defeated manner or with victorious freedom. As children, our dreams are big and limitless as we allow our imagination to run wild with possibility. As we grow older, our dreams, goals, and aspirations lose priority as we began to conform to who our families, friends, and society say we should be. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received from my middle school teacher was to “never allow others to should on you.” Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be? You’re more powerful, talented, creative, and have more potential than you give yourself credit for. It’s time to stop being a people pleaser, get your dreams off the back burner, and start making them happen. Here are three simple ways to reclaim your power through visualization: Creating affirmations is as easy as it is powerful. If you haven’t been using words intentionally to make your life better, you’re probably using them to make it worse without even knowing it. The good news is that you can stop now. Write down three affirmations starting with “I AM” and recite them every day. Here are a few affirmations you can start saying today: 1) I am free to love and be loved; 2) I am bringing value to my family and business; and 3) I am worthy of living the life of my dreams. If it’s not written, it’s not real. Journaling is an incredible tool that you can use to get your vision out of your head. Grab a notebook and start recording quotes that inspire you, ideas that you have, and moments you are grateful for. Billionaire media-mogul Oprah Winfrey has been journaling since the age of 15 and continues to record moments of gratitude daily and encourages everyone to do the same. Whenever I feel uninspired, I grab my journal and reread my own moments of gratitude, which causes me to bounce back and produce results in my life and business. Most business owners create a mission statement or vision statement, which details the direction they expect the company to move in. It’s full of details like customer service experience, ideal client profile, 5- and 10-year goals, etc. Once it is written, this document is usually filed away and never looked at again. I challenge you to get clarity about what you want in life/business and create a vision board based on what you want to accomplish. By creating a vision board and placing your vision in front of you, you create a trigger for small meditative moments throughout your day. This will enable, empower, and encourage you to chase and follow your dreams. Creating a vision board isn’t simply pasting pictures on a board. There is a formula to help you make your vision on your board a reality. Looking for a fun project for you, your family, or team?
