The Visualization Project
There’s a theory known as the Law of Attraction which suggests that we have full control over our own lives - via our thoughts and feelings. Without going into too many details, it’s kind of like a series of self-fulfilling prophecies; every thought, feeling, and action you experience sends the message that you want more of that experience. If you think, “My life sucks!”, well… your life will probably continue to suck. It all sounds absurd at first brush, but its apparently got a fair deal of support, both from testimonies and scientific evidence. It used to be a “New Age” theory, but has become more mainstream (and was recently featured on Oprah).
One of the suggested methods for keeping your focus on things you want - and away from things you don’t - is to create a visualization and put it where you know you’ll look it. I decided to create a small example digitally (I figured that, if all else failed, I could at least become a little better with GIMP):
Don’t try to decipher it. The non-Web image is 1280×1024 and is currently my desktop background.
Regardless of your opinions on “pseudoscience” like the Law of Attraction, I like to look at it from a very open-minded perspective - if it doesn’t hurt, and it might help, why not try it out? Don’t worry, I haven’t gone off the deep end again… Last time I went there, it was far too shallow. 
Edit: The image actually shows up now. I still have a lot to learn about how Wordpress handles relative links.

Your wallpaper looks fantastic! Are you using photoshop to create that? I’m holding a Vision Board experiment and since I’m not that technically apt, have used MS Paint and a Vision Board software to help me with it. Anyway, all the best with your own project and let me know if you’re interested to create a vision board of your own

Thanks! And no, this collage was created with GIMP. I call it a collage because I didn’t create most of these images myself, just added the cropping and other effects. I do intend to create my own (highly specific) images at some point in the future, though.
