Keeping your goals in sight can get difficult sometimes. If you’re a student or have a full time job, little things can get in the way of goals or dreams you might have for yourself. If you’re a visual person you can create something called a vision board.

A vision board is a collage that you can cut and paste images from magazines or the Internet in a collage on poster board. Sometimes vision boards can be as simple as wanting more income in your life or it can be grander than this. What do you want to do when you grow up? We are all growing every day. There is no one point when we stop “growing up” unless it’s when we die.

For example, the things I put on my vision board was things that I personally wanted for my future. It was more tangible, goals I wanted to achieve or places that I wanted to live. I chose pictures that would help inspire me to stay fit and active while also expanding my mind at the same time. I had pictures of the kind of house I wanted to live in and the pets I wanted to live with me in the future.

These vision boards can be made any way you want to really. All that’s really needed is to have a goal in mind that you want for yourself. Some boards are completely filled with pictures and some can have whitespace leftover from the poster board that was used. Mine was one of those with whitespace left over but I had a very cut and dry idea of what I wanted my vision board to look like. I wanted to be able to see how my life would be like in the future and I found quotes that inspired me to help me get there.
