Stacy Curtis was fortunate enough to travel to Chicago’s Grant Park, the location of President-Elect Barack Obama’s victory speech, last night and has posted photos and sketches on his blog from the event. He writes that the event was “spectacular”
Stacy felt motivated to go because, as he puts it, “we figured we may never get this chance again to be in the crowd with the senator of our state the night he is elected President of the United States. And there’s that whole historic first African-American President of the United States thing too.”
What an amazing day in American history. I personally didnâ??t vote for Obama but am truly inspired by the positivity and global reaction resulting from his election. His energy is addicting and his demeanor inspiring.
His story is truly American. Iâ??d love to dive into Obamaâ??s mind and discover his motives and internal dialog. To go through a year of campaigning is very difficult, but to go through a year of campaigning and deliver a speech like that is truly inspirational.
Whatâ??s also fascinating is looking at the dynamic of who voted, how they voted, and what drove them to vote. Obamaâ??s campaign created a wave of energy that grew bigger and bigger as his campaign moved forward, engulfing (in a good way) each supporter and supercharging them. How did they do this? It all started with a vision. Obamaâ??s vision, planted deep within his mind, began to take root almost 2 years ago today. The power of his vision can teach every American citizen about how to accomplish goals using the powers of visualization and intention.
I looked into this vision questing further and found that many super-successful people have been using vision boards to help focus their mind and accomplish their dreams. A vision board is a collage of images pasted on a board that represent your desired outcomes, your goals, and dreams. By studying your vision board, your brain gains clarity on what is important to your success, the things you MUST accomplish. I found a site http://www.TheVisionBoard.com that allows you to download a free 8-step power plan to creating vision boards. Iâ??d highlight recommend downloading it.
