What is Visualization

Visualization is a practice of imagining the achievement of your goals. 

This practice gives you the driving force to pursue your dreams and, according to Viktor Frankl, meaning in life. 

Visualization can be practiced by either:
Writing down your goals and imagining the completion of these goals
OR
Creating a vision board and adding images to the board that will help you in imagining the achievement of your goal.

How to create visualization board?

Ralph Waldo Emerson noted that for everything you gain you lose something else.  Think through your life and what achievements you would like to reach.

Complete the exercise of Life Balance Wheel to determine what areas in your life you need to focus on.

Nature hates monopolies and exceptions.Ralph

Waldo Emerson

The world looks like a multiplication table, or a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself.
Take what figure you will, its exact value, nor more nor less, still returns to you.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
and for everything you gain, you lose something.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man who let himself decline because he could not see any future goal found himself occupied with retrospective thoughts. …
They preferred to close their eyes and to live in the past. Life for such people became meaningless.

Viktor E. Frankl

Suddenly I saw myself standing on the platform of a well-lit, warm and pleasant lecture room. In front of me sat an attentive audience on comfortable upholstered seats. I was giving a lecture on the psychology of the concentration camp! All that oppressed me at that moment became objective, seen, and described from the remote viewpoint of science. 
By this method, I succeeded somehow in rising above the situation, above the sufferings of the moment, and I observed them as if they were already of the past.

Viktor E. Frankl
