Over a year ago, I created a digital vision board. It was full of images of who I want to become, what I want to have, what I want to be doing, and where I want to be in my life. The idea is that my life would change to match those images and those desires.

Within this digital vision board, I included images of girlfriends laughing, relaxing and writing in a bathtub, fresh veggies, fitness, photography, sex, a dream office, and a Greek landscape.

Now, more than one year later, I find myself checking goals off my list and reaching for new ones to achieve.

Looking back on that vision board, I’ve realized that the only item I haven’t achieved is that adventure to Greece. The rest? Check.

It’s an incredible feeling to know that you set out to accomplish something and have come out successful. I’ve made incredible friends in San Francisco (and maintained friendships in Colorado) — of which much laughter is shared. I’ve made relaxation and “me time” a top priority, and effectively integrated time to unplug into my life. Because of this, I feel more balanced, more alive. Since that digital vision board was created, I’ve lost nearly 20 pounds by changing my eating habits, splurging on a personal trainer, and owing it to myself to go to the gym five days a week. Veggies and fitness? Check and check. I finally dusted off my camera on my trip to London and Yosemite National Park. It was exhilarating to be behind the lens again. I’ll spare my mom and dad the details of my sex life, so let’s just say, check. While my office doesn’t exactly look like the one pictured on my digital vision board, I continue to be blessed with opportunity, challenges and responsibility at work. That’s a dream come true. The only thing missing is Greece; however, I did travel to Europe for the first time this year, so that almost counts.

So now what? What do I want now?

It’s time to update the vision board and create some new goals and desires for myself. What’s funny is that my goals and dreams are very similar to what they were last year. Even though they seem to be “accomplished” all the time, I find that nothing is every truly…done.

What have you accomplished? What do you hope to accomplish now?
