If youve read very many success books or immersed yourself in the world of personal development then you have surely heard about the importance of having a vision board in order to get what you wish for!

The world became aware of the significance of vision boards with the launch of The Secreta DVD unmasking the hidden reality of the law of attraction. With success coaches worldwide sharing personal experience with their own vision boards, as well as Oprah Winfrey urging viewers to design their dreams, many people have unleashed their crafting skills by framing their future.

In 1993, a nine-year-old girl was asked by her teacher to make a vision board. She pinned a photo of the singer, Selena (known as the Queen of Tejano music at the time) holding her Grammy award. That little girl grew up to become an international pop starone of the bestselling artists of all timeand is on the Forbes list of Top-Earning Women In Music. That little girl was Katy Perry.

In high school, DeAndre Cortez Way made a list of all the things he wanted to achieve in his journal. The list included: (1) get a record deal, (2) have a number one song, (3) have a platinum album, (4) invent a dance everyone would do. One year later, he checked everything off his list. DeAndre Cortez Way, better known as Soulja Boy, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur who was listed at Number 18 on the Forbes list of Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2010.

Surrounding yourself with images of your vision causes your dream to become more alive inside you. It is a vital component of your success that you surround yourself with what can be and not just what is. Thats the power of vision.

A vision board adds clarity to your dreams and desires by allowing you to see them. It helps you concentrate and focus on your specific life goals. Basically, it keeps your attention on your intentions.

Vision boards and vision board parties have become popular over time, but the majority of those using them do not realize that God is the one who wants us to be clear on our vision.

Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 29:18 [KJV]

Lets break that scripture down into more plain language: perish means die! The Bible says very clearly that we will die without vision. Vision keeps you alive. It takes you from where you currently are to where you long to be! All the way back in Genesis, God told Abraham, Go outside and look up at the stars, for as many stars as you can see, thats how many descendants you are going to have. (See Genesis 15:5) He later told Abraham to look at the grains of sand because it also represented his number of future descendants. He wanted Abraham to have a picture of it in his mindto be able to visualize it.

Consider this: Abraham lived in the desert. What was he surrounded by all night long? Stars. What was he surrounded by all day long? Sand. God knew it wasnt enough for Abraham to hear about his future; he also needed to see where he was headed. He was literally surrounded by vision. Consequently, he became what he beheld.

When you create your vision in the form of a vision board, a vision book, or even an app on your smart phone, you are seeing yourself the way you want to be. I have been using vision boards for years, and they have kept me in a continual state of progression.

Having a vision board will help you on many levels, including:

• prioritizing your goals,
• obtaining clarity in your life purpose,
• building your faith in Gods ability to perform the impossible,
• boosting your confidence and self-esteem, and
• reminding you of your mission.

When youre surrounded by ongoing negative messages that life will never get any better, your vision board will serve as a visual reminder of where you are headed. It will keep you focused when you are tempted to give up. It keeps you single-minded and full of faith.
