Incorporating vision board quotes, affirmations, and motivational sayings can be a powerful tool for helping to manifest your goals in your life. So let’s look at the best quotes and sayings and make the most motivational vision board possible.
What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a work of art that you create to visually depict what you focus on manifesting. A vision board helps manifestation in three important ways.
Helps to Clarify Your Vision
The work you do before creating the board helps to clarify and set your intentions.
Helps to Concentrate On Your Vision
Creating the board focuses your intentions and makes them more meaningful and relevant.
Helps to Maintain Focus and Motivation
As you look at and work with a completed vision board, it helps to keep you focused on your intention and motivated toward your goals.
A vision board is such a powerful tool because it engages your visual imagination, not just your verbal intentions, and expresses your unique style and creativity in its creation. In addition, a vision board can have more profound and powerful effects by employing more aspects of your thoughts, emotions, and expressive style.
How to Write Quotes and Sayings for a Vision Board
When incorporating text and sayings into your vision board, there are two basic approaches.
Finding Quotes for Your Vision Board
- One way to find powerful vision board quotes and sayings is to:
- Collect magazines, old books, scrapbook findings, and other material that might go into your vision board
- Journal and do writing exercises to clarify your goals, intentions, and inspiration
- Keep your goals and intentions clearly in mind while flipping through your source material. With your intentions in mind, certain words and phrases will “leap off the page” and connect with your inspiration.
- If you keep your intentions in mind, you may spot other keywords and phrases in your daily life as you glance at magazines and newspapers, and other written material every day.
- Cut out the most powerful words and phrases and incorporate them into your vision board
Creating Quotes for Your Vision Board
In some cases, you may want your vision board to not simply inspire and motivate you; you may want your vision board to express your deepest goals and intentions.
In that instance, you may want to create text of your affirmations or intentions and incorporate it into your vision board instead of waiting to find the right words in your daily life.
You may choose to:
Handwrite your favorite affirmations or quotes for a vision board (you may use colored pens and/or fancy writing to make your words more visually impactful)
Cut out individual letters and words and “collage” your affirmations or intentions together on your vision board
Print out the exact text you most want to read. Online tools like Quotes Cover will help you format your text to make a beautiful, printable image.
In this way, you can make sure your vision board always has the affirmations and inspirations that are most powerful and relevant to this moment in your life.

Your vision board is designed to keep your intentions and affirmations top-of-mind and visually present as you manifest. To use a vision board:
Encounter It Every Day
You may place a vision board inside a journal or planner, where you see it every day as part of your routine. You may place it in a highly visible area in your home or workplace, like above your desk or on the refrigerator door. You may make a digital version and keep it as the wallpaper on your phone.
Put the vision board in a place where you encounter it frequently every single day.
Engage With Your Vision Board Every Day
When you encounter your vision board, don’t just let your eyes slide past it out of habit. Instead, at least once a day, set aside time to engage with the board. Remember what it represents and means to you.
Recall the emotions you had while creating it. Read and think about the quotes and affirmations. Envision yourself in the visual images. Let the board affect your thoughts and feelings.
Trust in the Process
As you work with your vision board, trust that the universe is working with you to manifest everything you desire.
Conclusion
Vision boards inspire, motivate, clarify, and focus your thoughts and intentions. They are an excellent place for inspiration, affirmation, and manifestation.
