Happy New Year! It will be if you make your goals: and vision board a reality. And stick to it. Dream Bigger today than you did yesterday. So, it’s that time of the year again. Everyone wishes you a happy new year and celebrates. Indeed, you are making comments that you will be up at midnight but not celebrating the New Year. But this year is over. And you are waiting for the new year to begin. However, will it be a happy new year?
Or maybe it is mid year. And you have not achieved your goals you sat for yourself at the beginning of the year. So, what if it is now summer. It is a New Summer this year. Now is a great time to start your goals and vison board. One of my mentors used to say, “that a day is what you make of it”. And a ‘good year is based on the goals you set and the goals you achieve”.
What were your new year resolutions?
A new year’s resolution is a promise you make to yourself. Something you want to do. Or stop doing. And usually you start these on the first of the year. While giving yourself a whole year to achieve your promise to yourself. But now it summer and you have not met your goals. It’s Ok! The year is not over with. Where many fail at this is not making their own goals and vision board. And then giving up on themselves. First, I say, Don’t’ give up;! Don’t quite! Keep your promise to yourself! Whatever it may be, You Can Do It! Quitting is the only way you fail.
If you did not achieve all of your New Year’s resolutions you made this year. Or the year before. Make it again. And this summer try new ways to achieve it. Get back on your bike and ride. Even if it takes a while to get back up. There are so many self-help books to help you get motivated. I have a few reviews you can check out here. Read and study. Do whatever it takes to become a better you this year.
How Do You Set Goals for Success?
Setting goals should be meaningful and smart. Maybe not realistic to others. But to you, they will be if you do not give up. Write down your goals. Besides having some long-term goals. Also, set your goals for the year. And give them time limits. While marking them off every day or week. Then make them visible. Indeed, you can do this by writing them on the computer, mirror, or notebook. Or making a vision board. In fact, you can make a free one on Canva; I will give you the link here. Make sure you put it somewhere you can see it often. I printed mine up and put it in my Bible as a bookmark. Last year, I painted a mirror to see in bed to encourage myself to get out of bed.
After you have written them all down. And made a visual to see your dreams. Then you need to break them down. So many get lost in this process. I know I have. While identifying potential obstacles that might be in your way. Next, you want to take action. Besides using Google Calendar for some of my daily tasks,. I also have a paper calendar that is visible on my desk for me to mark off each day. Give yourself reasonable time frames to complete each task until you reach your final goal. But first, you may need to identify your goals. So I have a video of the founder of the Wonderful Team (Family) that I am part of that spells it out clearly for you. Towards the end of the video, you can take a test to help you.
My 2024 Goals: Vision Board Broken Down
If you took the test at the end of the video above. Then you will have seen your areas of need to work on this year. Mine is ‘Fun and Recreational’, rating the least, and financial rating the second to last. What makes me happy and is fun to do is help others. I know that may not make sense to others. But for me, it is my passion. In the year 2023, I was recovering from events that took place in my life previously. As well as starting a new learning journey. So, I did not had as much fun that year. But I plan to this year. And have made my 2024 goals and vision board reflect my promise to myself as well as others.
Health: In 2023, I have made it my goal to get healthier mentally and physically. While it is an on-going goal. This year, I will incorporate it into helping others. We now live in an RV. And there is not much room to stretch out. But I have been noticing that many campers try to walk on a daily basis to get their exercise. So, when the weather permits, I do my exercise outside. And invite others to join. As well as I take lots of walks with my Darla Chick ( my Pitbull puppy).
Goals and Vision Board: Growing Close to Gods Plan for My Life
Studies show that the most successful people believe in higher power. Just believe in something! Indeed, for me, it is Jesus that guides my steps. In fact, I have been part of many ministries, built many communities. And ran businesses, showing his grace and light. In doing so, I have gotten to know many with other beliefs that have been a huge part of my success. While getting to know and work with Jewish beliefs, Muslim, Hindu, Higher Powers, and, of course, Jesus Lovers. I have gotten to enrich many communities with needs and Joy. So, this year, my Goal and Vision Boards reflects getting back to what is fun and makes me happy.
Spirituality: This year, my goals and vision board show lots of people, persecuted Christians, YouTube, and blogs. This year, I am doing some tasks that have been on my mind and heart for a while. Indeed, I am using some of the skills from my previous walk and career. As scary as it is, and the feeling of being unqualified. I will branch out to some of the social media sites that are uplifting. And inspiring messages that have been given to me. While uniting communities of believers.
Family: With all eight of our children grown and gone and scattered in different parts of Texas and New York. A part of our RV living choice was to become mobile and visit them more often at nearby lakes. Besides this year, spending time with family. Also, I will be the last to learn how to fish. Fishing is a passion of my husbands. So this is one step toward rebuilding our relationship, which has been hurt and where our PTSD has taken a toll.
Goals and Vision Board to Build My My Future Plans
In October 2022, I joined a Team/Family of Influencers with Marketing is Freedom. Indeed, you can read about his journey and decide if this is journey for your life here. In fact, I had a lot of recovering to do in 2023, so I did not meet all of my goals. Besides, recovery from something most don’t recover from. And many doctors didn’t think I would. I also set my goals too high. I am proud of my accomplishments from last year. But this year I am remembering to keep riding alone on this journey with new paths. Dream Bigger today than you did yesterday!
- Career and Wealth: With this program that Rory and Tanya Ricord have spent their time setting up for us, there are multiple ways to build an income and your dreams here. Money and Finances had the second-lowest score. But they have so many avenues that I am now ready to work. Building communities and Helping people with uplifting messages is my gift. And it is past time that I get back on my bike and do so.
- Google AdSense: I have applied many times and got rejected. The main reason is that there is not enough traffic. This means I need to advertise on online sites more, as well as get more involved in my community. As well as write more blogs that others want to read. So if you have found this blog and others helpful, please like and share with others. This will help me reach my goals.
- Teaching Others to Become Influencers: In fact, I was raised to be a leader and teacher. So, it’s past time that I get back to it. Helping others reach their goals and spread their message.
Don’t let Anything, Anybody, or Fear Stand in the Way
Indeed, you will not be good at first when you are learning. And you may backslide on some of your goals that you have set for yourself. Besides these being goals, remember that these are promises to yourself for your happiness based on what you would like to accomplish in your life. So, you can’t let anyone do it for you. In fact, you have to keep doing it until you succeed, no matter how funny you look doing it. Like the Nike commercial says, “Just Do It”. over and over until you get it.
Fear is a liar. It will hold you back from what you want to accomplish. If you are a Jesus lover like me, then you know that Satan is the prince of liars. Do not let him win; keep trying and holding on to your goals, dreams, and promises. In fact, you may fall into the reeds or cattails, but you can pull yourself out of them. Try…Try…Try…Again!
You only learn by doing: Kinesthetic Learners learn through doing. Active learning is the only way you are going to be successful. Whatever you plan to learn and start this year, just keep doing it. Practice makes perfect. Every experience that does not kill you will make you stronger. Then you can teach others your mistakes, trials, and errors once you reach the end of the path you made for yourself. The year is not over! Good Luck!
