achieve them.
But it only starts with themagic that happens within your
effort on your part.
So think of your vision boardas a living thing.
You can customize, you can add,remove, start over from scratch
if necessary, and it's alsoessential to open up the

(10:38):
variations of what you want toachieve and definitely be kind
to yourself if you need toadjust your plan.
One of my examples were if Iwanted to finish up a degree
within a year.
I want to keep going.
I have to revise my worksometimes if I need to send it

(11:01):
over to my professor and theywasn't grading it as fast as I
want to.
So I definitely took the timeto contact my professor for an
update on a grading timeframeand it definitely coordinated
with my vision board and youdefinitely want to spend a good

(11:25):
amount of time on it.
Some days you might have tostart and it might not go as
planned.
So it's okay to revise itmultiple times, removing some
items from it, adding things,even starting over, and I
definitely have done this in thepast because I wanted to have a

(11:47):
clear and focused vision on mygoals, which is critical for me,
and I want to ensure that myvision accurately represents my
aspirations.
So I definitely wanted to sharethat with you.
And a vision board is definitelya powerful tool to help you

(12:08):
achieve your dreams and any ofyour goals, and it can serve as
a visual reminder of what youwant to accomplish and help you
stay motivated and on track andI know it's a personal goal and
it could be a professional oneso you can put everything on

(12:29):
your vision board and make sureyou keep up with it and it can
make a way where you canorganize your vision board to
reflect your journey, whatmatters most, and because of
these successes, it can meandifferent things to different
people.

(12:50):
I know that your vision board isfor your eyes only, so no one
else is going to see if you'rerevising it or you're adding
things or taking away a thing.
So just make sure that you planyour goals and make it
successful for you, and the keyto success is visioning.

(13:14):
Building a vision board is yoursuccess story and no one else.
So make sure you take thesetips and use them for your
vision board, because it hashelped me along my journey
within life and I can look backinto the vision of personal,

(13:40):
profession, professionaltraveling relationships and make
sure if you need to rewind orstop or start again with the
updates for the vision board andmake sure I always say it patch
yourself on the back and giveyourself space and time to
