How I started making vision boards

I remember the day I decided to have a go at making my first movie board. I spent most of the morning trying to decide what the hell I was going to make a movie about. I really had no idea where to start and to top it off I had no idea about using movie maker software. But I did have determination and plenty of enthusiasm.
So where did I begin? Well mindmovies are not new to me as I had bookmarked quite a few - some I use regularly for inspiration, some for meditation and others I keep bookmarked so that I can revisit in the future. Funnily enough when I revisit some of the bookmarked 'law of attraction movies' they are actually making some sense now. Anyway on with the vision board story.
Some of the music really gets you going and some, well it does not rock my world - so I set about looking through some of our cd collections and also trolling around on YouTube to see what did rock my world. It's like looking through an old photo box or memory box - you easily get lost in memories and stories about when I first heard that song, or I was doing this then...there is an abundance of music that help you put your vision together.
It's all about gathering all your ingredients together first before you set about moulding your masterpiece. Your ingredients consist of images, affirmations, music and software to glue it all together.
Making a vision movieboard helps me to focus on where I am going. I use it as a debriefing tool because when I am making a movie I forget all time, I become immersed in the creation itself and consequently I am oblivious to the 'now' reality. Being creative pushes you to another world, it opens up your learning capacity and when you pause to look back to check your progress, you amaze yourself. We really are brilliant creatures - so I spoil myself as often as possible and look forward to making these weekly.
And along the way I find some great tools to use. One of the affirmation boards I made using Animoto - you can make some free short movies. They also have great pricing plans for longer movies.
There is a wealth of information and vision board packages available out there. Start one today and keep adding to it.

Life Insurance Policy For Living the Law of Attraction

We live in four worlds - mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Think of it as a tree with spiritual as the roots and the physical our fruits. If we look after and care for our mental and emotional parts then we will direct success and abundance in all forms to ourselves. This is a great life insurance policy and free for you to set up.

Let us look to prune away negative feelings and statements that we are guilty of making and feed our mental being with personal quotes. For we know that positive statements attract positive results (fruits) and our thoughts lead to feelings which lead to actions which lead to results, fantastic results.

Give yourself some support and prosper with changing your mindset or way of thinking. Rework your thoughts from non supportive statements to empowering yourself. We truly deserve to be happy and free, more happy and more free. Yes I deserve to be, I want to be, I can be, I will be, I am.

Where I once thought: "You have to work hard to make money" I now say "It takes creativity to make money, I am creative. Yes I am a powerful and resourceful creator."
Where I was told over and over "Money doesn't grow on trees" I now say "Money consistently flows to me from numerous sources. My life is now filled with prosperity and abundance."
And remember "We can't afford it" I say to the universe "I can afford anything, I focus my power, I change my life, I am wealthy and successful in all that I do."
Change your way of thinking and create affirmations or quotes that are believable to you - feed your emotions by repeating your affirmations or statements daily, so that it becomes a natural response. 'I am' statements are the most powerful of affirmations you can use. Raise your awareness and poster your quotes, display them on a big screen, laptop or desktop. They will become your insurance policy to the future creating a life of limitless potential.

This next statement isn't about wearing contact lenses but clarifies your perspective:
"Vision without a task is only a dream. A task without a vision is but drudgery. BUT vision with a task is a dream fulfilled." Willie Stone

My inner world creates my outer world.
I can be kind, loving, balanced and really really rich.
I am bigger than any problem.
I can handle any problem.
I accomplish all my financial goals with ease.
I can grow myself & learn my way to success.
I am clever and accomplish any task I put my mind to - forex trading.
I act in spite of fear, uncertainty, inconvenience, discomfort - in spite of everything!
I am responsible for everything that is happening in my life.
My life is like living on Pompano Beach.
What you focus on expands, this is the Universal Law. You see, the mind creates what you hold in it, providing you have cleared any conflicting subconscious blocks. Try some clearing techniques to clear your negative emotions. You don't need an online degree to know what makes you feel happy, to know what lifts your spirit.
Be grateful and celebrate your success. This will result in an increase in your overall happiness.
Saint Augustine said "faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe."
I am truly happy and I deserve to be, thank you.

Hoping something happens?

Begin.

May 30th, 2010

Camogli, Italy. It’s a stretch to make this image relevant to the sermon below, but these guys know that talking about fishing isn’t going to bring the fish in. Neither is looking at the boat and hoping something happens.

Goethe is frequently quoted as saying:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
It’s likely he never said it quite this way, but the quote holds, and is relevant to this post. I’ve been reading a couple books lately. The first is ReWork, by Jason Fried. The second is Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky. Both intersect at the idea of work. In fact, a third book – The 4-Hour WorkWeek, Timothy Ferris – intersects here as well. Belsky especially is relevant to what we do, whether we do it as working photographers or not. I tell you all that so you know my sources as I get up on my soapbox.
As the so-called Creative Class you and I put a lot of stock in the value of ideas. Inspiration. Creativity. We often do not put a lot of stock into work. In fact work is often set up as the opposite of artistic endeavors. Where Belsky rocked my world is in pointing out that how great your idea is means almost nothing without the will to carry it out. And to do that you need motivation and organization and perseverance and the willingness to get up at 5am if that’s what it takes (don’t look at me, pretty sure my muse wouldn’t ask me to do that. That’s crazy talk. But for some people…).
You can generate idea after idea, fill your Moleskine notebooks so jam-packed with great ideas the world would fall down at your feet if only they knew how creative you were. But the trap lies in thinking that coming up with the ideas is where the value is. It isn’t. The value lies in your ability to execute. Forget all the hundreds of ideas. Pick one. And do it. Then pick another, and do it too.
We get paralyzed sometimes by too many options. A million ideas and we’re stuck because we can’t pick one. Stop it. Pick one. Move forward.
How does this apply? For working photographers or those who aspire to it – pick one project and do it. Finish it. Then do another. Which one? Who cares! Pick the one you most want to do, the one your dog wants you to do, or the one on the top of the list. But pick one, and do it. Because picking the “wrong one” and getting it done puts you in motion and is better than doing nothing at all. It’s the same with your day to day tasks. I know, you’ve got too much to do. Lord knows my calendars and to-do lists have never been so long, so I feel your pain. Don’t stare at it, don’t whine. Just pick the thing at the top of the list – or better – the one you most dread doing, and begin. Just begin.
And for the ones who just do this for fun – same thing. Begin. Pick a project. Begin. Work it through. Then finish it. Nothing helps us move forward like momentum; beginning is the hardest part. Get in motion, and watch things begin to fall into place.
You are not creative until you actually create something. The root word itself requires that. That old adage about creativity being 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration? It’s true. Don’t let your piles of notes and your great-sounding ideas lull you into thinking you’re making progress. You make progress when you begin. Ideas are great, but they’re no substitute for the thrill of creation, of seeing that idea become real. All you need to do is begin. And then finish. But beginning is the hard part. There are a million excuses – we’re too busy is the best one. But isn’t it interesting how the Too-Busy still have time for Lost and American Idol? How they’re always talking about their next great idea? How they – and by “they” I mean “we” because I’m the first one that needs to hear this sermon – are always talking about photography more than they are actually making photographs. Watch TV if you like, just don’t complain you don’t have enough time. And don’t try that “but I watch TV to get inspired!” line with me, most of us don’t need more inspiration. We need to begin acting on the inspiration we’ve already been given.
Timothy Ferris is a good read on this. The first thing he suggests is to adopt a low-information diet. Fried says decision are progress: stop thinking about projects, make a decision and move forward. Belsky suggests you adopt a life with a strong bias towards action. I suggest the same thing when you get stalled. Stop thinking about it. Stop complaining about it. Just begin. I’m not sure there’s magic in it, but power certainly. You will get more done than most creatives by taking that first step.

I know this post doesn’t seem photographically relevant but the fact is most of us have enough technical knowledge and at least one good idea. What we need is to get moving. Heck, even a mediocre idea – even a BAD idea – once in motion is better than a good one that never finds legs. At least the bad idea in motion has a chance of becoming a better idea and one day actually becoming something more than an idea. Begin!
