To successfully achieve our goals in life, we must capitalize on both our conscious and unconscious minds.  Study after study confirm that successful people have clear-cut goals, which implies a clear vision.  When we create a clear vision of what we want and who we want to be, our conscious mind defines the action plan while our unconscious mind helps us work toward those goals.  One way to keep your vision strong is to create a vision board.

A vision board can be created on poster board, on a bulletin board, on a PowerPoint slide, or whatever your imagination can come up with.  You can use magazine pictures, articles, photographs, slogans, quotes, affirmations, anything that represents your goals and inspires you.  You can use drawings, markers, sticky notes, note cards, etc.  You may want to add motivational words such as, “Joy,” “Smile,” “Success,” “Believe,” and others.

Use your imagination and create your vision board today.  Put it where you will see it often.  When you are in job search, having a vision board can act as a motivational tool and a reminder of what you are working toward.  Let it guide and inspire you to take daily action toward your goals.  With a clear vision and defined action steps, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
