These 35 Vision Board Quotes Will Inspire You To Go After Your 2022 Goals (2024)

Whatever you hope to accomplish this year, a vision board is a great daily reminder of your goals. If you want proof, celebrities like Steve Harvey, Reese Witherspoon, and Oprah herself have all spoken about how vision boards have helped them succeed in their careers. (Although Oprah says she's gotten so good at manifesting what she wants that she doesn't need a vision board anymore.)

If you needed some additional motivation courtesy of #science, several studies from Oxford also found that visualizing what you want can help actually make it a reality, so there's that.

Whether it's your first time making a vision board or it's how you start every new year, sometimes you need a little inspiration to help you realize your goals and go after 'em.

In addition to finding the perfect photos to place on your Pinterest board (or poster, if you're going old school), you can also include a few words from the wise.

Here are 35 vision board quotes to get you motivated (and yes, Oprah made the list):
