Reaching your goals through a VISION BOARD

"According to the popular book The Secret, 'The law of attraction is forming your entire life experience and it is doing that through your thoughts. When you are visualizing, you are emitting a powerful frequency out into the Universe.'" - The Huffington Post


How to create your vision board.  It is VERY simple.  All you need is your browser, power point (preferred) and some thoughts/desires/dreams for this coming year.  

TCI TIP: You can set your power point to be vertical instead of horizontal so that makes things a little bit simpler to read and organize.

NOTE: The best thing about doing these electronically is that you can change them at anytime.

1) Think of the themes you want to cover.  Items could include:

• Health
• Fitness
• Family
• Spirituality
• Self
• Household
• Friends
• Acceptance

There are so many more but I wanted to get you started.

2) I use Google so I just started searching for the words that I wanted to put on my board.

3) Select the images and drag them to your desktop (it helps to make a folder first called 2015 Vision Board) so your screen doesn't get too filled up.

4) Pick the power point template you want to use and start dragging the images onto the page.  I like all the sizes to be the same size so I click on the images and change the size so they all match.

5) I don't believe that the order that you put them in matters but you can decide for yourself.

6) Once you are finished, save the power point and then also save as a pdf (in the printer section) and also as a screnn shot (jpg, png).

7) Print the document to put on your fridge or somewhere when you get up you can see it and also the jpeg on your desktop image so you can see it every day when you open up your computer!

Last year - most of my visions came true!  Its no secret that if you focus yourself on a goal and you move towards it every day, you will be more likely to reach it!

HERE MY MISSION BOARD for 2015!  I put this image on my desktop computer screen so I can see it every day.  Vision boards are very powerful.

It is REALLY easy to offer help to others when you have a lot to do on your own plate.

Wise Guy Question for the day:  

What type of experience will you create today?  Do you have the tools to do what you need?  At the end of the day - is what you do something you will want to put on your wall for everyone to see?

Wise Guy Action(s) for the day:  

Watch the video above - I think we all remember Bob.  At the time he seemed very silly but now that he is gone, I think he really knew how to look at life.  We can all learn from him!

 GET OUT THERE AND CREATE!

Performing to your highest level in LIFE!

Wise Guy Thought for the day: 

 

There are SO many times where we get stagnant in our own lives, simply just moving forward because time keeps progressing, but with out progression in our own development.

Are you a SUPER PERFORMER in your daily life?

Glass half full!

Wise Guy Thought for the day:

Look how much I have had to drink . . .and look how much I have left to drink!

Wise Guy Question for the day:  

Think of your own glass - how do you view it?  What is it filled with and how  how colorful is the glass?

Wise Guy Action for the day:  

Draw a picture of "your glass" in your head. If you don't like how it looks - CHANGE IT!

ps. 

A little wine never hurt the glass!

Sometimes you just have to LET IT GO!

BEYONCE'S WRITING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON

This past Monday marked the three year anniversary of the passing ofMichael Jackson, and while a number of stars and fans shared their memories of MJ, one celeb in particular got more intimate!

When I was just starting out, my first producer used to make me listen to Michael Jackson’s live performance of “Who’s Loving You.” He would have me watch that for hours back to back to back.

What he wanted me to learn was his soul. You could hear his soul. And he was this little kid who hadn’t experienced love but he was a vessel. For whatever reason he could evoke more emotion than an adult. It was so raw and so pure. It was these little things that he did that were just swag. It’s something that’s God given.

Michael taught me that sometimes you have to forget technique, forget what you have on. If you feel silly, you have to go from the gut just let it go.

Michael Jackson changed me, and helped me to become the artist I am - thank you Michael.

Love always,
B

Wise Guy Thought for the day:

Life is not about surviving, its about thriving and making each moment as special as you can!

Wise Guy Question for the day:

When was the last time you took your talent and did whatever it was "from the gut"?

Wise Guy Action for the day:  

Next time you are doing your hobby or something you love - STOP.  Take a DEEP BREATH and REMEMBER WHY YOU LOVE DOING IT .  . . then REACH DEEP DOWN IN YOUR SOUL . . . and do whatever it is LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE!!

ps.  Then message me and tell me how it was!

LET ME POST IT ONE MORE TIME:

Michael taught me that sometimes you have to forget technique, forget what you have on. If you feel silly, you have to go from the gut just let it go. - Beyonce

Don't Settle!

Wise Guy Thought for the day: 

We often settle in life when we could have SO much.  So much love, so much laughter, so much happiness.  We hold each other to our own sense of morality that we forget that we are only responsible for our own dreams and development - we are only hear to help others grow, not stop them from seeing their true potential.

Wise Guy Question for the day: 

Out of the list above, what are things you could work on today?  What could you do to have MORE?

Wise Guy Action for the day: 

Use the list above and put them in order of importance to you and your life - how to make the biggest changes in yourself.  Try to make the first thing happen today, if you can get through the complete list . .  . imaging how your entire outlook would be different!

ps.  Everyone deserves to develop!

The POWER of MUSIC!

Happy Saturday!

Some of you might not now know this but I am a a professional ballroom competitor and instructor. Through music I believe that we can experience live in ways we would never be able to only though our own visions and dreams.  When you dance, you become the dance and give your own visual interpretation of the song playing.  The audience gets a peek into your soul as you express yourself as only you can.  Music has the power to motivate, inspire, and heal!

Let me say the last one again - heal!

Below are two instances where music has helped the wellness of the one listening . . . please take a moment and watch these clips.  Get some tissues:

The older we get, we sometimes forget things.  It's funny that you can still remember your favorite television song or jingle but you probably can't remember what you had for dinner last night.  The power of music brings us back to happier times:

Simply amazing!

How many times have you been listening to your favorite artist on the radio or through your collection and it seems as if they are speaking directly to you - only to you!  They feel your pain and sometimes they help you to get moving in a new direction.  

If you personally know me, you know my most favorite performer is the one and only Dolly Parton! Mrs. Parton is such an amazing song writer that there is something for everyone.  Below are some of my favorites that have gotten me through times of sadness and anger - both were able to turn my thoughts around and put me back on the path to positivity!

Better Get to Livin - A great song about getting over yourself, pulling your big kid pants on , and getting on with life!

Change it - once again a song about the ability that you have to change your own life.  If you don't like it - CHANGE IT!

The wise guy THOUGHT for the day: 

Today you have the power to change your life!  For better or for worse, you have the tools to make your life shape in the direction you want to. Music is one of those tools - use it often!

The wise guy QUESTION for the day: 

What song's motivate you?  What songs make you feel certain emotions? What is your JAM?

The wise guy ACTION for the day: 

Make yourself  an iTunes playlist or "mix tape" that not only lists your favorite songs but what emotions they bring out in you.  Next time you need some musical motivation - you have it right at your fingertips!

Have a GREAT weekend - I'll talk to you tomorrow.

The Wise Guy!
