Last year, going into the year of 2023, like everyone did when it was trendy, I made a vision board. On that vision board, I said I wanted to make it pink and aesthetically pleasing! With pink being my favorite color and the trendy “aesthetic look” social media is going for nowadays, it was obvious I had to go this route for the look of my board! I continued to search on Pinterest for things I wish to have moving forward in 2023 and made sure to end the search with the phrase “pink aesthetic.”
So I pasted my pink aesthetically pleasing Tesla picture to my vision board, my pink aesthetically pleasing image of business packages, and can’t forget those pink aesthetically pleasing quotes that I needed on the board or it wouldn’t have looked right. The focus of my vision board was centered around looks. It was more important to me how pretty and appealing to the eye I can get it. It did not obtain any depth and there was no vision in the vision. Needless to say, I did not get anything done on that board.
Last year working on my vision board I really was going about it in, not only a general sense, but also very surface level, very superficial. I’m certain this is the reason I didn’t achieve anything on that board. This year, I’m going about it in a different way, more of a logical approach. I have a clear vision and that vision is to be realistic, that vision is to go deeper and strive to achieve to be that ideal version of myself, not to have the prettiest looking project filled with other people’s goals and aspirations that I see on Pinterest. I looked at goals in the sense of what I can reach RIGHT NOW, instead of a step by step journey of achievements, opening up new chapters to start and focus on continuously. No more aesthetics, this one is personal!
The way my story was written, my starting point in life didn’t give me much leverage. So at times it may seem like all odds are against me, it may seem like what I am reaching for is unrealistic and quite impossible. I read somewhere that, “Holding limiting beliefs become self fulfilling prophecies.” Meaning, if I tell myself a dream is too big for me to achieve and I can’t do it, then guess what? I won’t be able to do it because I made that decision for my life already before I can even start. My starter line does not affect where I will finish, so I believe any dream I dream to be obtainable. Goals should be realistic not limited. I do not limit my goals because I find it to be unrealistic. It’s actually quite the opposite. I come up with limitless goals and seek realistic ways to go about them.
The vision for my vision board, or in other words, my goals for the 2024 new year is quite simple. I will attract wealth abundantly from multiple different streams of income. I will pass any upcoming tests with a perfect score of 100! This year I am going to start to build credit so that by the end of the year I have a credit score of 750 or higher. That new apartment I’ve been eyeing? I now reside there, and I get to and from my place of residence with my new car. By the end of 2024, the new skill(s) I’ve been working on, I am now very knowledgeable about and I work on my projects efficiently. I will seek a better relationship with God because without Him, hard work and determination, and a little bit of manifestation, I will not obtain that ideal version of myself that I know I am capable of being. In 2024 I will be motivated to complete every goal I have for myself and more. I will achieve every goal I set forth with intention.
