- Okay, don't laugh,
but this is how I visualize my ideal body.
I find the body of my dreams, chop off their head,
and put mine on top and then put it on my vision board.
Hey, you have to see it on the inside,
before it shows up on the outside, right? (chuckles)
Well, I'm Terri Savelle Foy, cheerleader of dreams.
It's no secret, I love vision boards.
You know, I run into a lady at the mall one time who said,
"You're that vision board lady."
Well, I've been making them since 2012,
and I have literally seen crazy big dreams manifest.
Well, I wanna help you today.
And for my subscribers this week,
I'm actually giving away my book absolutely free,
on how to make vision boards.
Now, I'll give you all the details towards the end.
And this outlines everything you need to know,
from start to finish to make your vision board for 2021.
So, all you have to do,
is push the subscribe button real quick,
and I'll explain how to get that book in just a second.
Now, I wanna help you make your vision board,
but I also wanna share the one thing,
that will stop you from manifesting your dreams,
if you do this.
And I speak from experience,
without fail it will stop you from living your dreams.
You know, once I learned the power of having vision,
and making a vision board,
I started putting all kinds of things on there.
In fact, let me just share some of my random dreams,
and just fun desires.
For example, one time I wrote,
that I wanted to ride bikes in Amsterdam, Holland.
Now, it's like the bike capital of the world, seriously.
Rodney and I had a layover in Amsterdam one time,
and we walked around the city,
with like a seven hour layover.
We walked around the city,
and we almost got hit by a couple hundred bikes going by.
I'm not exaggerating, but it gave me an idea.
So, I wrote that I'd like to one day,
ride bikes in Amsterdam.
Well, here I am with my little family,
riding bikes all over Amsterdam and no crashes thank God.
Number two, I wrote that,
I wanted my books translated in five languages.
Now, I don't know publishers in other nations.
I don't know how this could ever happen,
but I wrote the vision and one by one,
we began to get phone calls from publishers.
We now have this book, "Imagine Big"
in English, German, French, Spanish,
and this year it was translated into Dutch,
for the sweet people in Amsterdam.
Is that a coincidence?
Not one bit.
It's the power of having a vision,
and keeping that vision before your eyes.
Well, now I increased my goal to 25 languages.
The third example I wanna give you is,
I had a desire one day to just stay in an apartment in Paris
and write my next book.
Now, when I wrote that dream,
I couldn't afford to take time off,
and just stay at an apartment in Europe,
for a couple of weeks and just write,
but I wrote the vision anyway.
In fact, I have this quote on my vision board that says,
"An apartment in Paris" surrounded by photos of Paris.
Well, here I am in this quaint apartment,
in the most beautiful city in the world,
and check this out, sitting on my balcony,
overlooking the Eiffel Tower, what a view,
writing my book called,
"The Five Things Successful People Do Before 8:00 AM."
In fact, here's another one.
This year I had a dream to pay off our land.
You know, Rodney and I bought eight acres of land,
to build our dream home on the Lake.
Well, I had no idea how I could do this.
In fact, I did the math and it was impossible.
This land cost more than our last house.
But as Steve Harvey says, "If you can see it in your mind,
you'll eventually hold it in your hand."
Well, as of September 2nd we paid off our land.
We're debt free, land owners. (chuckles)
Thank you, Jesus.
So, I'm telling you the power of vision,
will change your life and your results.
In fact, one more real quick.
You might think this is kinda cute.
You know, Rodney and I had a shotgun wedding.
Oh, we were young, we were scared,
and we were broke back in 1991.
Well, Rodney got me a wedding ring that I loved.
It was all he could afford and it was priceless to me.
It wasn't spectacular but it was special.
And I kept telling him I did not want another ring,
because of the memories behind that first ring.
Well, as my faith grew through the years, my vision grew,
and one day I just Googled, "Wedding rings,"
and I put this gorgeous photo,
of a wedding ring on my vision board.
On my 25th wedding anniversary,
we had dinner at the Reunion Tower in Dallas,
and I received a ring identical,
to the one on my vision board.
So, I'm telling you, I have seen dream after dream come true
using my vision board and getting clear on my dreams.
And now I have this entire book,
on how to make vision boards.
And I get testimonies daily from people all over the world,
who are applying these steps,
and just checking them off one by one.
So, I want you to have this book absolutely free this week,
so you can get a headstart on making yours.
Now, all you have to do is click the link in the description
to get your free book today.
And all I ask is that you cover the shipping.
So, let me tell you what a vision board is,
and why vision boards work and why some don't.
So, what is a vision board?
Well, a vision board is simply a collage of pictures,
and images illustrating your dreams.
That's it.
Now, it can range from places you wanna go.
Things you wanna have.
Aspirations you want to achieve,
or your personal life goals.
See, it's where you get to frame your future,
instead of only framing your past.
I mean, think about it.
We usually only frame where we've been,
and what we've already done,
but is the one who said in Habakkuk 2:2,
"Write the vision, write it in big, bold letters,
so it can be read on the run".
That sounds like a vision board to me.
Okay, so why division boards work?
It's not that the board itself,
causes your dreams to just magically appear.
It's what the realization,
and clarity of your dreams does to you that makes it work.
And there's a powerful principle from the word of God,
that you become what you behold.
See, we move towards what we consistently see.
You know, God even said in scripture, he said,
"All that your eyes can see can be yours."
So, let's fix your eyes on your future.
Now, before you start gluing and pining,
let me just tell you what I like to do first.
Okay, number one is write.
Just start writing what you want to do.
Where you wanna go.
What you wanna have.
Who you want to become.
Now, keep in mind,
dreams and visions are different than goals.
Goals are dreams with deadlines.
And I talk about that in other videos,
and I covered all in my book,
but every year I make a new vision board,
that still has my big dreams all around it.
You know, the ones that,
I don't have a clue how long they're gonna take,
but I always update my top 10 goals for the year.
But for now let's focus on your big dreams.
We have no clue how long these will take to manifest.
So, right now I just want you to dream and dream big.
And a quick way to help you get started,
sometimes it's good,
to just start with a few desires of your heart.
Like where would you like to travel?
What would you like to drive?
What would you like to own?
How much money would you like to save?
Where would you like to work?
Or which university would you like to attend?
Who would you like to meet?
Or what is your ideal physical body look like?
So, number one is just write.
Number two is get inspired.
You know, go to Pinterest,
or look their magazines for inspiration.
Sometimes you just need to get that imagination stirred up,
and when you see photos of exotic places,
or adventurous experiences,
it helps you just start dreaming again.
In fact, in your free download, my book,
at the end of this book I give you a bucket list of ideas,
to just get you dreaming.
And you're gonna love reading through those.
Number three is get your vision board.
You know, it could be a poster board,
from your local pharmacy or supermarket,
or a court board from any craft store.
It can be a magnetic board.
There's even crafty boards now,
that actually say, "Vision" at the top.
And you know, I like to just use a simple court board,
and then I wrap it with a big, beautiful frame,
to just dress it up and display it.
Number four is you cut out pictures that match your dreams.
Now, this is the fun part.
See, after you've written some of your dreams,
and aspirations then you get to match them with pictures.
And it could even be things like a phrase that says,
"New York Times, the bestselling author."
Or your dream house by the water or an Alaskan cruise,
or 1 million subscribers on YouTube.
And you know, you might feel embarrassed,
or ridiculous at first because they look so impossible.
But the power of vision turns what once was impossible,
into probable and then proof.
There it is.
Sound like that song,
♪ Poof there it is. ♪
(laughs) Oh my God, okay.
Well, listen, I have 1 million subscribers on YouTube,
on my vision board and yes, it looks ridiculous.
But I also remember,
when the dream of reaching 100,000 subscribers looked nuts,
but here I am receiving the YouTube Silver Play Award,
for achieving that dream.
So, just dream it.
Now, here's a few things you're gonna need.
Push pins, maybe not this size but push pins or glue.
And you can decide which works best for you.
I use push pins so you can remove the dreams and goals,
once you achieve them,
and then put them in a book of accomplishments.
Number two, you saw my giant scissors.
You gotta have scissors.
Number three, pens, markers, stenzel,
or you can type your words and print them out.
The fun thing about a vision board,
is that it's as unique as you are.
So, just make it your own.
And it doesn't have to be perfect,
it just needs to be done.
And remember, most people don't even know what they want,
much less take the time to visualize their dreams,
and keep it before their eyes.
So, you are miles ahead of most of the world,
in simply following through with this project.
And the good news is,
you can always change it up as you go along.
So, have fun designing your vision board.
This is your future and you get to frame it.
So, why do some not work?
Let me close out with this.
What is it that will stop you,
from manifesting these big dreams?
Here's my warning.
You've got to focus on the what not the how.
See, when you make a vision board,
if you focus solely on, "How could this seriously happen?
How could this happen to me?"
When you do that you are limiting yourself,
and you're limiting what God wants to do in your life.
The how will show up but you have to dream it first,
without regard to how you can have these big dreams.
In fact, act as if you're a child and you're being asked,
"What would you like for Christmas?"
Put it on a board.
See, most children are not the least bit concerned,
with how their parents are gonna afford the gifts,
or if they're asking too big.
They just dream.
Well, use your imagination.
Imagine it's five years from now,
and you're living the life of your dreams.
What does it look like?
Where do you live?
Where do you work?
Where do you vacation?
How much money can you give away to ministries,
and charitable works?
Just dream.
So, here's the power of the vision board.
The more you look at it,
the more comfortable you get with those dreams,
and what once looked so ridiculous,
will soon become so realistic.
So, you become what you behold.
Whatever you keep before your eyes,
it will eventually show up in your life.
So, make sure you get the free copy of my book,
