“Everything happens for a reason,” right? Well, lately my life has been full of “weird” coincidences that make me believe this statement to be completely true. Sometimes you may not know the reason for something happening a certain way; but I have learned through experience, you will figure out the reason eventually.
A couple of weeks ago, I went with an amazing friend to our local Lululemon store to browse their products, which we love. While there, I saw vision boards on display which the staff had created. I thought the boards were really interesting, so my friend and I went up and looked at them closely. They were so amazing that I was inspired to make a vision board myself, as I had just graduated and have so many dreams I want to pursue.
One of the staff members enthusiastically came up to us and shared her story regarding how making a vision board has played a vital role in her life. The woman is an artist, and she had found a special photo she had wanted to paint and put on her vision board. So, she contacted the photographer of the photo and asked him if it was okay if she could paint the photo. He said, yes.
A couple of weeks later, she ran into him at her local gym and recognized him. She didn’t know where she knew him from, but later realized that he was the photographer of the photo she loved. The next time she saw him at the gym, she went up to him and introduced herself. He then asked her to have coffee with him. They have been dating ever since.
Thank you for sharing your story with me, Lululemon artist. Your story inspired me to create a vision board myself, as ”weird coincidences” like yours have happened to me as well. I have had my fair share in the last few years. According to Lululemon, a vision board is supposed to “be a mish-mash of all of the amazing things you see for yourself in the near or distant future.” So that’s what I’m doing tonight: making a vision board. :) If you want to make one too, the steps are below. I will post a picture of mine when I’m done.
