Finding my passion with a visionboard.

It’s the new year and everyone is talking about resolutions. I know I’m not about to lose any weight or join a gym, so I decided that my resolution this year is to find my passion.

I didn’t (and still don’t) have the first clue as to how I should go about finding my passion, but I decided to start by Googling “finding your passion”, and I found this link on Oprah.com “Steps to Finding Your Passion”.
I’m a sucker for bullet points so I skipped straight to step 3.

Step Three gives the following questions to consider:

* What interest, passion or desire are you most afraid of admitting to yourself and others?
* What do you love about yourself?
* Who do you know that’s doing something you’d like to do? Describe yourself doing it.
* How could you make the world a better place for yourself and others?
* What’s stopping you from moving forward with exploring your passion?

I’m going to take some time and think about these questions so that when I make my visionboard, I’ll already have some sort of focus.
Here are some examples of visionboards. These images belong to their respective owners, and I have linked to their sites.

I am trying to decide if I want to go the scissors, paper, and glue route, or if I want to go the digital route. I think it would be cool to have a visionboard page here on wordyless. We shall see…

So anyway, I hope this will help you to think about your goals and what you want to achieve in 2011.

    I think that it is awesome that you are doing a vision board. Our Pastor talks about finding your purpose OFTEN, and many people in our congregation create vision boards every year. It helps us keep at the forefront of our mind what God has done for us as the year has passsed. It is very helpful to put it up in a place that you can see everyday. The boys are making their own for the first time this year.
    Good Luck with yours Yellow! And with finding your passion too!
    What would you do for free? If Money was not an issue….

    This is a great idea. I think I’ll make one using my cork board & thumb tacks that way I can update it as needed. My interest seem to change and develop every second, minute, hour, etc so using glue would be too final for me. Digital sounds good, but I know sometimes I would just want to stare at it.
