This morning I was talking to my friend and accountability partner Angie Newton. I shared with her my income goal. She said “Oh I don’t want that much I would be happy with …”. So this led into a discussion about what we really want! I talked about how I really want to payoff debt,save an large emergency fund,save to buy a house or build one and then give,give and give some more!
Angie went on to share with me that she has a vision board. As we talked about our dreams she said “I don’t want everything that is on my vision board.” Her dreams have changed. I think as life moves forward our dreams do change and evolve. After our discussion I realized that I do not think about my dreams often enough.
The last few weeks have been a bit of a trial for me. I have not seen the results that I have wanted so I decided something needed to change. I was going to start a service type business so I could get some money in my pocket right now. As I thought and contemplated I realized I am the problem! I haven’t been dreaming. I haven’t been using the Law of Attraction. I haven’t been praying about what I need to be learning from this experience. I haven’t been using a vision board. I haven’t been seeing what I want and believing that it will happen.
I have been my biggest road block!
So what am I doing about it? Well first of all I am taking action. I am putting myself in a state of gratitude. When I am thankful for everything I have blessings come more quickly into my life. No maybe that is not quite correct. I am still blessed when I am not grateful but I don’t see it so clearly! So I bought a gratitude journal. Not only am I going to give prayers of thanksgiving everyday but I am also going to write it down!
Vision Board
This week I am going to work on a vision board. I am going meditate and look at it everyday. I am going to feel what it is like to have each one of the things on that vision board. One of the things I want and I really look forward to is going to a restaurant and giving a great waiter/waitress a $100 tip! Another thing is being able to help someone who has lost there job by paying their rent or utilities. That is what gets me excited. I don’t want a big house because I don’t want to clean it or have to hire someone to do it! I don’t want fancy cars. I want to be of service because the Lord blessed me!! This is what will be on my vision board because it isn’t just about me!
Work
I am going to work hard. I am going to learn to do things right. I am going to fall flat on my face at times and that is okay because I am going to come out on the other side stronger and a better person. You see this hard work is not just about money! Yes,money is a goal in there but it is about a life I want to live. A life I will live. A life I choose to live and a life I will create!
How will I create it?
I will create it by working. By thinking about it. By praying that I am on the right tracking and listening for the answers. By believing that it will happen. By creating that 
vision board so I can see my life everyday. By being grateful for what I have now! I believe this to be the Law of Attraction. I will attract this life that I want because I am the creator of my life. I can create what I desire because God gave me the opportunity to choose! I can choose to be happy or sad! I choose happy. I can choose to grateful or greedy. I can choose whatever I want. I choose to be happy. I choose to be of service. I choose to have a good life now,not just in the future!
What am I saying.
I have been thinking a lot lately. Angela Wills had a great post about the Law of Attraction. This post,my conversation with Angie and how my down I have been has reminded me that I need choose my life. That is not what I have been doing. So here on out I choose to be a success by Failing Forward! That is a title of a book by John Maxwell. I choose to be a success no matter what life deals me. I choose to react well to bumps in the road because I believe those bumps will be blessings! I will be successful because I create that success with God’s help. I am only a creator through him.
I don’t know if this has inspired anyone but I felt like it was important to share. This is a huge part of my journey. So what will you create your life? Go create a vision board of your own. Cut pictures out of magazines. Put it where you see it every day. Look at it at least once a day and feel what it would be like to have that kind of life! It is really fun!

Ohh heavy for a Monday morning…just kidding! This post actually excites me. I have been thinking about what I want to put on my vision board to replace those things I no longer need or want.
I am definitely one of those people that are almost always positive and I am grateful for what I have but there is much more that I need to create so I can do more good in the world. I also want to live comfortably and travel. But again,I also want to be able to help people in different ways.
The tip thing is fun. We always give good tips (not $100 mind you LOL) but when we can give a really nice one the look on their face is priceless. I want to do this ALL the time!
The taking action part is an issue I struggle with most. I get going good and then I get frustrated when I’m not sure which direction I should be going (if that makes any sense).
That book looks good,I might just have to add that to my Amazon list for this month. I just got a book to review called,Embrace the Struggle by Zig Ziglar and although I’m only on chapter 3 it really is good. I’ll do a review on it when I’m done.
Great post and really got me thinking today. Happy November,Danielle!
