As we’re coming towards the end of the March vision board challenge, I got a reminder yesterday that surprised me a bit.
Vision boarding for the future is powerful.
But being grateful for what you already have is just as important.
Yesterday my car decided to teach me that lesson 😅
Passenger window dropped down and wouldn’t come back up.
Then I “locked” my keys in the boot… except they weren’t locked in, they were wrapped inside the duct tape and bags I’d been using to stop the rain getting in while driving.
Which also meant I couldn’t see my side mirror properly. So there I was driving home in the rain telling my car how grateful I am for her. Because yes — I do need a bigger vehicle for things like transporting 25 airbeds and equipment for Retreat at the Mill… But this car is still what makes everything possible right now.
Here’s the coaching lesson in this:
Vision boards help you focus on what’s next.
Gratitude keeps you grounded in what’s already supporting you.
You need both.
So as we close out this month’s challenge, ask yourself:
What’s already helping you move forward that you maybe haven’t thanked yet?
