A glimpse of my inspiration board I have read other blog posts about why everyone should have a vision board or an inspiration wall for the last few years-- pretty much since I began reading blogs! Every blogger seems to have 2 cents to throw in about these collections of personal inspirations. While reading about them, I never thought I needed one or could benefit from one. After all, this was when I was a high school student, I wasn't really focusing on the point in my life where I would need inspiration to spring board from. Now, after a year of college, I'm beginning to make myself focus on making a plan beyond "Become Successful". What do I want from life? What do I want to do with the life I've been given? These are big questions. Note: I am not saying that these will magically be answered by inspiration boards! However, I have finally gotten to the point in my life that I am beginning to see the pros and purpose of these boards. They help to focus our thoughts, to keep us motivated. When we see something that inspires us, it sparks something in us. It stokes the fire within us. My opinion is that things that inspire us, we get that feeling because they will put us one step closer to the paths that God designed us each to be on. We get that feeling because that little piece of inspiration is pointing us in the direction that we are supposed to be going, and that resonates with us, deep in our souls. I won't tell you how to make an inspiration board because it has to be YOURS, from start to finish. Plus, there are all those awesome posts I mentioned before that will give you some tips. I will say, just make it yours. Find those bits and pieces that resonate with you. And don't be afraid of changing it up every once in a while! Enjoy the inspired and creative process of curating your own board. Some things I included on my board...
You could use a wall and tape, picture frames, a bulletin/ magnetic/ wipe-off board, any number of things! Personally, I already had a ribbon board hanging above my desk that I decided to revamp. Tip: if your pictures and pages are too small for the ribbons to hold or if they begin to curl off the board, use straight pins to hold back the corners. You can see some of mine in the picture above: I pushed the pins away from the pages and then used the heads to tuck the corners behind.
Have fun! Let me know what cool things you include on yours!
