There is a popular story on how Scottish engineer James Watt was inspired to invent the steam engine. His family members used to take bath in water heated with the help of a boiler. The boiler had a lid, and everyone saw the lid rising when the water got hot. But only James Watt observed that it was the steam that forced the lid to rise. That made him realise the power of steam. Why could only James Watt observe this while the others couldn’t? Because he was curious! That is the power of a mind burned to achieving.
Microbiologist Louis Pasteur said it best when he said, “Chance favours only the prepared mind.
As the book The Secret” written by Rhonda Bryne says, if you want to attract something into your life, you need to make it your dominant thought, and direct all your focus and energy to wants it. You have to write down all that you desire, and place it near your desk .This is called the Vision Board. List down whatever you want, and do not limit yourself. The purpose of creating the Vision Board and keeping it visible to you all day is to help you channel your thoughts towards dreams that you wish to realize.
These should be specific goals clear and quantifiable Any dream that is not specific, dear, or measurable is difficult to achieve The goals can be for one year, three year, or a lifetime The Vision Board exercise has to be done at least once yearly This will help us check if we are on track and also enable is to revise/add to the list. Talk about your goals to as many people as you know .The more you do that the stronger you will feel about it helping you realise them.
You can go on adding as many goals as you want. There are no rules or categories. Prepare a calendar and fill your action plan for every month. It’s likely that you will see your dreams turn into reality.
And don’t forget to do this exercise at least once a year, when you look back later, say after five years you’ll be able to see how much has already been achieved.
