This blog is about a vision board that fails.
A vision board that failed to fulfil there promise.
Are you still waiting for yours to come true?
The best advice you’ll receive here is the power is within you to make it come good.
Is this a vision board that fails? Or was it that she failed to notice?
A client said to me: “I’d like to make another Intuitive Vision Board although I’m still waiting for the last one to come true.”
“Wait a minute”, I said to her. “I remember you wrote to me about a result you’d had. Have you forgetten about the garden shed with the colourful bunting on your board? What it gently prompted you to do and what a massive result came from it”.
“Don’t you remember how it caused you look twice at the disused shed in your neighbour’s garden and ask her if you could take it on, do it up and use it as a coaching studio. Hang some nice bunting from it – and she agreed?
“Consequently you then invested time and money in a Conscious Parent training programme and started coaching families. It seems to me this was a significant shift in workstyle brought about by your vision board. You vision board hasn’t failed, you’ve just forgotten about it.
“More importantly, perhaps you should be reviewing again the major obstacle in your life that continues to surface during our coaching conversations. You know exactly who it is – and less you forget about it, you’d placed a distinct motif on your vision board to remind you of it.
“The full potential of your Intuitive Vision Board won’t be fully realised until you address that stumbling block. Only you can do it. Sorry to be blunt about it but it’s you that’s getting in your own way.”
The good news is she did eventually address the challenging problem. And now she’s flying …
Don’t blame your vision board that fails if it’s you that’s getting in your own way
Maybe you are ready to make an Intuitive Vision Board (IVB).
Ready to explore other pathways above and beyond your current life trajectory.
Prepared to contemplate alternative points of view that can add forward momentum to your life.
However, creating your IVB is only the first part of the story. Certainly it reveals the land of possibility that lies ahead. The beat of lifeforce energy drum that wants to reverberate through you. The gift of potential waiting there for you specifically to take advantage of.
The second part of the story is up to you. Will you actually do what’s required?
You always have a choice – whether to engage with the energy that’s inviting you, or deny yourself the opportunity it represents. If you choose to do nothing, it’s not the vision board that’s holding you back. It’s not the vision board that fails. It’s you.
How you might be getting in the way
Try not to ignore or shy away from any images that have appeared on your vision board but you feel ambivalent about. Those you’re attracted to but also cause you to pull back. The stronger your aversion, the more likely there is something important in the image for you to grasp which can only reveal itself in time.
It could be the image is signifying an obstacle to your progress, but you resist addressing it because the prospect daunts you. This is your particular growth edge and can feel scary because the ground is unfamiliar. You won’t know what treasure lies beyond that stumbling block until you take a step towards it.
What’s causing you to back off the image is fear of the consequences. This was certainly the case for my client. But these hesitations are only thoughts and judgements based on past experience or inherited fears, clouding your view of the outcome, which in truth might bear little resemblance to what actually happens. False, Evidence, Appearing, Real. You won’t discover what the actual outcome will be unless you try.
She who hestitates is lost
Another way you might be holding yourself back is when you ignore the prompts coming from your intuitive vision board. When it is encouraging you and you dismiss it by thinking ‘that would be nice but not now’. No, that’s not the right attitude. Move towards what’s beckoning you. In some form or another, big or small, make a move.
Not that the creative potential nesting in your intuitive vision board will mind too much if you’re not up for it. It will simply move on until it finds someone else to collaborate with to bring this particular idea into form. Someone who is more determined, more focused and braver than you are to act on the intuitive insights received.
If the game plan was laid out for you, it’s no good lamenting your vision board failed when you are the one that robbed yourself of its wisdom.
Redemption is still possible
May I suggest you take a look at your vision board now if you have one.
Single out any image that troubles you and contemplate the thoughts and feelings that you associate with it. Follow your instincts and see where they take you, without deciding in advance that you know where they are leading.
Capture your thoughts in writing. You don’t need to know where these ideas might lead right away. You’re just exploring. Trust that the meaning will emerge quicker when you let go of pushing for definitive answers and allow the wider spectrum of possibility to open up for you.
The most important thing is that you take action in the way the image is prompting you to do, even if it it’s not linear or makes logical sense.
If you’re still concerned your vision board isn’t delivering its promise then do BOOK AN INTUITIVE READING with me and let’s see what we can uncover. Or take dedicated time for yourself to make a new vision board with me at a VIP WORKSHOP, either online or in-person.
“Thank you Mary for an absorbing review of my recent Intuitive Vision Board. I feel excited and inspired by what nestles within and how it may unfold over the coming months. This is the fourth vision board I’ve created with Mary and they always have a habit of revealing captivating ideas and deeper truths.”
