Bringing Your Future into Focus: The Power of Vision Boards

What is a Vision Board?

A vision board is an inspirational collage — a visual representation of your dreams, goals, and the future you want to create. Think of it as a roadmap in pictures: a tangible reminder of where you’re headed and what matters most to you.

Making a vision board is a fun way to work on establishing a vision for your future. Your board might focus on a specific milestone in the near future, or it could reflect the bigger picture of where you see yourself in five to ten years. Instead of simply living day to day, your vision board serves as a beacon, pointing you toward the life you want to design.

Activity: Build Your Vision Board
Before you begin, decide what type of vision board you’d like to create:

• Project Vision Board – for a well-defined goal, like your next job, an upcoming trip, or a personal achievement.

• Long-Term Life Design Board – to imagine what your ideal life could look like in 5–10 years.

• Life-Area Vision Board – to focus on one aspect of life, such as your health, education, or relationships.

Use words, pictures, and inspiring messages that you can look at daily. Display your board somewhere visible so it becomes a constant source of motivation and direction.
