Recently I was listening to a mini-episode of one of my favorite podcasts, and when it queued up, the title read, “Why I don’t do vision boards.” I had a strong reaction to that because I had literally just finished my vision board the day before. That’s what I do, I teach people how to do vision boards and have just helped some people get theirs done. What does she mean she doesn’t do a vision board? She’s wrong, she’s totally wrong! But there is no wrong or right, right? Things just are what they are. We are all individuals on this planet, human beings trying to be human beings. So as I listened, I heard what she was saying. What she was really saying is she recognizes that she is not the Author. She doesn't limit herself to what's on her board. She doesn't make herself anxious by what's on the board. She doesn't stress or worry about achieving or completing that goal.
Instead, she gives it away! She gives it away to the Universe or God. She says Universe help me figure out where it is I am supposed to be, help me to be in the flow, and that's all. That did resonate with me and I can relate to what she is saying. Having said that, I still struggle to feel worthy, loved, powerful, and in tune with the Creator.
I struggle to have that deep understanding and acknowledgment of those things. I can put so much effort and energy into the lie that I am not good enough. It's such bullshit! I struggle to accept that I can be in the flow with the universe. That it has beautiful, magnificent, wonderful gifts for me that I can't even imagine! The peculiar thing is, that I've seen it play out in real ways in my life. I know it's real! Yet I still struggle with that paradox.
So while you might think I don't need a vision board, and for you that is your truth today. For me, the vision board gives me a place to start from. Visual reminders of those basics that I am loved and worthy and capable. I'm not at a place yet where I can freely trust and embrace and give it all away. I need a place to start from, to remind myself every day that I'm working to get to that place of freedom, where I can give it away to the Universe and let her show me what is coming for me in this season.
Today I will use my vision board to remind me of where I am headed and I will also keep my mind open to a state of surrender, where I let the Creator show me the way too! Can you relate? Drop me a message, send me an email or text. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
