What's on your dream board?

Late in 2008, I started a dream board. If you’re not sure what a dreamboard (also called vision board) is, it is a place, either material (like a big piece of poster board), or a computer generated document, where you state your dreams, goals, ideas.

It is like writing out your goals in life, except that looking at pictures evokes more emotion, allowing you to really envision your goal. You can add or remove at your will.  You can also add affirmations for yourself. The premise is that if you look at this “list” every day, twice a day for five minutes at a time, the laws of attraction will bring it to you.  

Here is a good site to help get you started. (click here)

Sounds a little to elementary, doesn’t it? Well, let me tell you, I am now a firm believer! Many of the goals that I placed on my board became reality in 2009.

(One that didn’t, a big one, was to go to Hollywood and win $1million in “Million Dollar Password“). Oprah is a huge believer, and had a show about it recently. Here is Oprah’s site for building one online.

Anyway, now I’m making my bigger, newer, better dreamboard. I’lll be making it on a great big yellow posterboard and I’ll put it in my office to look at daily. I know that many of my goals will become reality in 2010.  Go ahead. Try it. It certainly can’t hurt, and at the very least you’ll have your goals out there. Keep it private or show the world–be creative and DREAM BIG!!!!

And if you’d like to share, let me know a thing or two of what’s on YOUR dreamboard!
