Spiritual Vision Board

by Gregory Allen Butler

If you watched The Secret, you might remember seeing a vision board being used as a tool to manifest envisioned reality. This past weekend my wife and I visited my sister in the Washington, DC area. I noticed immediately she had turned the front of her refrigerator into what I would call a spiritual vision board. To give you some idea of what a spiritual vision board might consist of, I have reproduced the words of wisdom that comprised hers. These quotes were collected from greeting cards and postcards that people had sent her over the years, as well as some that she collected.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troublels, but to live inn the present moment wisely and earnestly. -- The Buddha

The place where you are right now God circled on a map for you. -- Hafiz

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -- Ralph Walso Emerson

Think deeply, speak genntly, love much, laugh a lot, work hard, give freely, and be kind. -- Unknown

Follow your bliss. -- Joseph Campbell

Do not worry; eat three squarer meals a day; exercise; go slow andd easy. Maybe there are other things your special case requires to make you happy; but these, I reckon, will give you a good lift! -- Abe Lincoln

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind. A roof for the rain. A warm cup of tea by the firer. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all that your heart might desire. -- Irish Blessing

Peace comes from remembering that only love is real. -- Archangel Chamuel

The greatest need of humanity today is love – Love Divine which is Pure and Selfless, which awakens man to the proper sense and understanding in life, to find true happiness in giving, not receiving, in serving and not in being served, and in willingly participating in the suffering of others more than in their happiness. My Mission in Life is to kindle that Divine Spark of Love in all. -- Meher Baba
