“Faith, Focus, and a Vision Board: Your First Step to a Life That Matters”

Written by Praise Chiamaka 

You’ve probably seen them on Pinterest. Pretty pictures, dream houses, fancy vacations, motivational quotes. Cute, right?

But what if I told you your vision board could help shape your future — not just decorate your wall?

Many young people scroll through social media seeing fascinating goals and also realise their ambitions, but with no real clue on how to get there. 

If you're one of them, then this article tells you how to turn a vision board into a life compass that can enable you to lead a successful and fulfilling life despite all odds.

I don't know about you, but as for me, a life without purpose has no meaning, and most times, you find purpose through experience, connections, and through your communication with other people.

And of course, a vision board goes hand in hand with a purpose-driven individual. It helps in centralising that purpose and giving it a tangible meaning and form of existence.

But first, what is a Vision Board?

A vision board is a collection of images, drawings,  and words that inspire and motivate you to reach your goals.

They represent the changes you'll want to see later on in your life–It could be in the next 6 months, 1 year, or even 5 years..s

It shows you exactly what you'll like to achieve in a certain period.

It could be owning a house, going for a vacation in Miami, touring the world/helping the less privileged, living a certain lifestyle, eating and dressing in a certain way. It could be anything, as long as it inspires you and motivates you to do the needful.

For example, the Vision board above is a glimpse of mine. It's a perfect example of how a Vision board looks.

I want to go on a vacation.

I want to get a guitar and play my favourite songs.

I love food, so of course, by next year, I'll love to eat a certain way.

I'll want to invest in knowledge and read more books.

All these portray my personality, what I want, and what I want to achieve.

What is yours?

What motivates and inspires you 

What is your goal—what drives you 

Whatever it is, create a collection of the images to be reminded of your purpose—what you want to achieve every day.

What is the purpose of a vision board?

• It keeps you focused. 

It keeps you focused on the main thing. It stops you from making wrong decisions and engaging in meaningless activities.

• It increases your faith.

When you see images of your exact goals and desires in life, then you're convinced that success is guaranteed, but that's only if you work towards achieving that goal.

• It motivates you 

• It helps in clarifying your goals and broadening your sense of purpose in life.

How can you make the most out of this vision board?          

Keep looking at it.

Every morning, afternoon, and evening…

When you wake up from sleep and before you go to bed, always look at your vision board to sharpen your focus, because the more you look at something, the more you become.

CONCLUSION 

A vision board isn’t just a pretty collage — it’s your dreams made visible. It reminds you daily of what truly matters and where you’re headed. Life gets busy and distracting, but this visual board helps you stay grounded and intentional. So go ahead, create one and watch your goals come to life.
