The Reason Why Some Visions Fail

The Reason Why Some Visions Fail

As the year comes to an end, it’s important to start thinking about what we need to work on for the next year and to understand why some visions fail and what we need to do better to make them work the next year.

A vision is one of the best ways I know that can help you start working on your desires and ambitions as you begin to dream again.

The secret of most visionaries is not that they did the work themselves, but rather that they had people who believed in them to join their vision.

It takes a “team” to bring a “vision” to life; a vision is created alone but needs a team to take it further.

Take the United States of America: without a dream and a vision, the United States wouldn’t have been created. If all the founding fathers, including Alexander Hamilton, had not worked together as a “team” then their dream we would not be here today.

The challenge of vision is that its handwork, just like the United States; some days are okay, there is smooth sailing, and all systems go, on other days we may need tweaking and realigning of our vision. As people sometimes, we may need tweaking too, but in light of where we started from and what we’ve actualized, we’ve probably come a long way.

I love what a vision can do for others. I believe that vision boards are a great way to jumpstart new desires and plans and get started on a new dream.

To create your own vision board, use the steps below. This will start you on the process of taking action so please come back for weekly motivation.

Supplies you will need to buy to create a vision board:

• Adhesives: double-sided tape, glue; spray glue, glue stick, liquid glue.

• Posterboard.

• Scissors.

• Notepad/ journal/my dream again planner.

• Magazines.

• Pen.

Optional:

• Colored pen or crayon.

• Other arts and crafts materials.

• Paper cutting board.

Steps to create your vision board:

Step 1- Write your visions, dreams, and desires down on paper. Write down the ones that came to mind once you realized you wanted to dream again. Write it all down, everything you have not been able to achieve and want to achieve. Write down as many as three (3) to as many as thirty (30).

Step 2- From those visions, dreams, and desires you wrote down to pull out ten (10) and write them on a sheet of paper. The ten must matter, not only to other people, places, and causes but to your own soul.

Step 3- Next, cut pieces of pictures out from the magazine that fit your vision and goals listed in step 2, and then place them on your poster board without gluing them. Wait to glue because you will be moving them around to find the best layout. By the time you are done “Your Vision Board” should have your ten (10) items visually displayed for you.
