Future Endeavors


Sitting and collecting dust in the dinning room, I have a gigantic wicker basket overflowing with magazines. I decided to browse through almost the entire basket. I searched and flipped through magazines such as fashion, entertainment & tv, cooking & food, home decor, and health & fitness. I was on an enlightening mission. I was searching for any words, quotes, or images that inspired positive thoughts towards the future. While searching, I cut out and saved anything that gave inspiration. When finished, I perfectly arranged the cut outs on a piece of paper making an inspirational collage


I choose words, quotes and images that sent positive vibes about the future. I cut out single words such as happy, heart, love and husband. In the future, I hope to be happy, surrounded by love, and possibly married. 



A portion of the collage is dedicated to my love of traveling. In the future, I want to travel the globe and visit exotic places. I found a picture with a beautiful landscape and a quote saying "It's the stops that inspire us to go." These words made me think of traveling the world and embracing all its beauty. In the same area, I placed an image of a tropical island with palm trees, a butterfly and the word imagine. These cut outs represent spreading my wings, flying, exploring the world, and imagining all the possibilities the future holds. 



A different portion of the collage, has a picture of a sunset and a quote reading "Positively uplifting energy." This image and these words express the calming, positive, and uplifting emotions I hope to encounter in the future endeavors. 



I've also attached two quotes, I found to be self inspirational. One quote says "Shine don't be shy" and the other reads "Find who you have not yet become." These quotes are captivating and express the importance of finding who you are, being yourself, and not being afraid. 



There are a few other elevating quotes that I pasted together. These quotes are "Reaching new heights," "Be unstoppable," "Whatever the world throws at you, take it on," and the words "Then & Now." These quotes represented reaching for new heights in life, being brave, overcoming life's obstacles, pushing forward, and looking only towards the future. 


I have also attached two words saying "Good Living." The words simply reflect the good future I hope to strive for and possibly have obtained in the future. 



After I finished the collage, I hung it up in my apartment. I saved the completed work as an uplifting and inspirational reminder about future possibilities.




The Future Awaits

The future awaits
with open arms 
and embracing hugs
It's filled with 
warmth, love, and passion
It's surrounded in peace & happiness
It only possesses energies 
of uplifting positivity 
The future is bright with
endless possibilities 
Face it with braveness 
and it will bring tranquility 
Climb over mountains 
to reach new heights 
Take in the magnificent view 
and feel unstoppable 
Take on whatever the world throws at you
Spread your wings and soar
Explore the word
Find who you have not yet become 
Don't be afraid to shine 
The future awaits

  1. Emily,

    Very creative. I love how you literally cut and pasted images for your real vision board - and then included snapshots of the board. That's great. That's fun. I'm glad that you dug through that old bin of magazines and found some gems.

    Your board has a very cool design. I like how you placed your favorite quotes above city skylines. Artfully placed.

    Excellent work. Your poem this week is simple, affirming, and inspiring. Maybe you could print, cut, and paste this poem on your board, too. The amazing quotes that came from you... from the heart.

    They deserve to be on your board/in your future.
