Book of Possibilities
Greetings:
This week several of my 365 Days of Coaching have been inspired by my new favorite movie, The Last Holiday. The movie stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd. Georgia lives a simple, conservative and predictable life. Georgia keeps a book with pictures in it that she calls Possibilities. The possibilities range from where she will travel, famous chefs she would like to meet, the man she would like to marry and the food she hopes to serve in a restaurant she hopes to own someday.
When Georgia is told she has three, maybe four weeks to live, she decides to turn at least some of her possibilities into realities.
The concept Georgia is using is what I would call a prosperity board, vision board or treasure map. Georgia uses a book to put her pictures in. You could use a poster board, a cork board, which is what I use, or a photo album. Really anything you can attach pictures to. Whatever would work for you. The idea is to put pictures and words that express what you most want. You might put pictures of places you want to travel, people you want to meet, Rachel Ray and Ellen are on my board. You might put symbols of things you want that represent abundance, peace, love... You get the idea. Just like Georgia, when you create the possibility you might just end up living the reality.
This is a picture of my board. It isn't a work of art, I have seen some Prosperity Boards that could hang in a museum. My board conveys the energy and feelings of what I want in my life.
I am going to be launching a class on how to create a Prosperity Board. More on that in a week or so. I have more information soon.
Make it a great week
Here's to taking action

I'm adding this to my Netflix queue now. I'm a little slow since you've been writing about it for a while! And I love your newsletter today about the effort it takes to be miserable. Right on.

I have seen the movie four times now and LOVE it more each time. Let me know what you think about it. I just thought it had such a powerful message in a fun and light way.
The Bucket List is another movie you should put on your Netflix queue if you haven't seen it. Another movie with a powerful message.
