From small things ....

It's spring, a time for planting, watching things grow and bloom, and life to explode. In school, my son recently planted his own seeds and we have had fun watching the roots take hold and grass grow from his little pot. Nature is amazing and I never cease to wonder at how such majestic things grow from such a tiny seed.

I guess that's what it takes though, right?! It takes having a small idea, the smallest nugget to be planted, in order for dreams to grow, goals to be accomplished, or changes in our lives to take place. They have one thing in common though - they all start somewhere from the tiniest of beginnings.

So ask yourself this. Where do you see yourself tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year? Go beyond that - what are your hopes, goals, and more for the next 5 - 10 years? Have you stopped to think about it? We'll, today I DARE you to do just that! Create a vision board and 'plant' those ideas you have to remind you of what you're aiming for. Pinterest has a ton of ideas to get you started on a vision board and once you begin, the fun of imagining and planning takes over and you'll have a concrete board to look at as a reminder of what you're aiming for.

Life is meant to be spontaneous and filled with adventure, AND there is also an element of planning and goal setting that needs to take place to help with some of that direction. So go on, get a pile of magazines, search the web, and start printing and cutting those images today to create your vision board. Go on, you'll be glad you did!
