5 Reasons why you need a vision board

We are still in the early months of the year and our New Year resolutions are still fresh in us. Unfortunately by the time we reach half the year most people will have forgotten about their resolutions, and by the time the year ends none or only a few of the resolutions or goals will have been achieved. This is precisely why you need to have a vision board. I have used a vision board for years and I can testify their success in helping me achieve my yearly goals. So you may wonder what this vision board is. First let’s understand what a vision is first.

According to Calvin Brown, a vision is being able to see further than your eyes can look. Everybody should have a vision. Living without a vision is like living blind and far better is a blind man with a vision. Proverbs 29:18a says “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint”.  

A vision board is a tool that enables you to concentrate, clarify and maintain your focus on your specific yearly or life goal.  It is displaying images on any sort of board to represent everything you would like to be, do or have during that year or in your life as a whole. You can have a vision board where you can be able to see it every day i.e. your closet or digitally on your mobile devices or computer screen.

The following are the reasons why you need a vision board:

1.      Clear and constant picture of your specific goals

When whatever you want to achieve is staring at you daily, naturally it will manifest. So, specifically find words and images that presents the end result and stick on your vision boards. This can include photos of a family, an attractive car, or a bigger house among others. The feeling of seeing yourself there every day with the help of your board will keep you on the right frequency.

2.      Gives a lasting visual in your mind

A vision board represents your life and your desired results. Most of us do not have visions for our lives, although we have visions for our jobs, schools, churches and so on. God created vision and changed Abraham’s picture that was in his mind by giving him a new name. God wanted to implant a picture in Abraham’s mind about him being a Father of many nations, even though he was childless.  Genesis 17:5 says “What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations.” 

3.      Help you Focus

Focus on your goals is very important factor in accomplishing them. A vision boards enables you to stay focused and on track to your greatness. Every day you experience challenges that try to pull you down from different directions at once. By looking at your vision board daily to get to realize the reason you are going through the struggle and pain.

4.      Build your faith

According to Hebrews 11:1, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Meaning it is only through faith that you can get what you don’t have currently but believing you will get it. Your faith is built because every time you see your vision board, you raise your belief in what you want to achieve. If your progress is tracked and monitored your vision will become a reality. Just like Pearson’s Law says: That which is monitored improves. That which is monitored and reported improves exponentially.

5.      Hold you personally accountable

If you create a vision board and every time you enter your room you will see your board. When you get up in the morning and go back to sleep you will see the board. It simply holds you accountable for the goals and you desire and the plans you’ve set to accomplish. This will keep you on track.
