The dreams generated by a Vision Board can be BIG, so make sure that you can say a Big, Beautiful, Confident Yes to everything on your Board. If every dream and goal that we had came true this year, then next year would be pretty boring. In other words, if deep inside you’re unable to say Yes to everything on your board, you may only be able to say to the seeds you’ve planted for the future.

Let’s say you have a dream to be the CEO, but deep inside yourself you’re really thinking, “That will never happen, I’m just a secretary.” So, what can you say Yes to? Can you say Yes to Shift Supervisor? Yes to Personal Assistant to the CEO? Then next year’s Vision Board includes the next Big Yes and in a few years, you are the CEO!

The same process might apply to “My Vision is to get married/find my soul mate/live happily ever after this year.” Although I have met a few people who, within a year, really did meet and marry their soul mate, this is not the typical life experience. Instead, start with images that represent your ideal partners’ values and characteristics, images of how and where you meet, what happens on your first date, passions that you share, and more of those juicy, falling-in-love details. What is it about "marrying your soul mate" that you can say Yes to today?

Of course if you can say Yes to CEO or Life Path Partner, than Just Say Yes! Vision Boards are as much about the Journey as they are about the end of the year review.
