TERRI: I read where New Year's goals, those are things that go
in one year and out the other. They say 93% of New Year's
goals go unfulfilled. Thirty percent are broken the first
week. I want to talk to you about how to move into the 7%
who achieve their goals and live their dreams.
(Music)
TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy. I'm glad you're
watching Live Your Dreams today. I've prayed that
as you invest in yourself today, you're captivated
and catapulted to live your dreams. Obviously, I'm
passionate about teaching people to go after the dreams, the
goals, the vision that God's put in your heart. It blesses me to
receive testimonies from people all over the world who are truly
living their dreams no matter how big or how small they are.
I've received testimonies from people who have lost 75 pounds,
another who saved $100,000 when she didn't even get started till
she was 57 years old, another who got her realtor's license or
went on mission trips, gotten books published, paid off debts,
opened restaurants, gotten college degrees, even launched
ministries. I even got a testimony from a girl who, at 15
years old, she saved $7,000 to go on a mission trip in 11
months time. She didn't even have a full time job. She's 15
years old, saves $7,000 in 11 months time. You think about it.
You may have a credit card that you've been paying or a student
loan paying year after year after year, but this little
15-year-old girl went on a mission trip, $7,000 in 11
months. Why? Because she got crystal clear on her vision. She
got specific about it. She knew how to target her faith for
those dreams. I like to teach people the principles from the
word of God about having a dream, having a vision. God's
the one who said, "Where there is no vision, the people
perish." God also said in Habakkuk 2:2, to take the time
to write the vision and make it plain. That's what these people
are doing. They're writing their vision, they're getting specific
about it. You can hear messages like this and get excited and
think, "That's encouraging, that's cool. I'm going to do
that one day." But until you really put action behind your
faith, it's just going to be another year like last year. In
fact, I heard a story from, and I put it in my book on making
vision boards work, it was a friend of mine who said, for
years she would tell her kids, "Let's believe to God to go to
Florida on vacation." The kids like, "Yeah, yeah, let's go to
Florida." They live in Dallas, Fort Worth. Years would go by
and they never went to Florida. Finally she thought, I'm going
to do this. I'm going to get serious about my vision. She
said, "I've heard Terri talk about vision boards, I'm going
to make a vision board of Florida." She put time into
this. She put palm trees, sandy beaches. She put Disney
characters, that they would go to Disneyworld. She put the
hotel, the resort, then she did this, she counted the cost of
the trip. She went online, found out how much would it cost to
take me and my husband, and I think it was four kids, to
Orlando, Florida from Dallas Fort Worth, what would it cost.
She put the cost on there. What would the hotel cost? What would
Disneyworld cost? She put all this time and effort into this
vision board, added up the cost and then put it before her eyes.
Well, when the kids saw, "That's what Florida means? When you say
we're going to Florida, that's what you're talking about?"
Well, they got excited. Well, she thought, "That's not enough.
I can't just put this in my closet or in the laundry room.
The kids are never going to see it. Nobody is going to be using
their faith board." She said, "I've got to put this in a
prominent place where everybody sees it." She put it at the
front door. Every day when the kids go out to school, they see
the vision. When they come home from school, they see the
vision. Well, they started using the words of their mouth
speaking to that vision. The Bible says, "We serve a God who
gives life to the dead and he speaks of non-existent things as
if they already exist." They started speaking to the vision.
Well then, she thought, "I need to kick it up a notch." She went
and got a little box and put "vacation fund" on the box. She
got this little table, put it under the vision board, so every
day the kids see the vision and then they're targeting their
faith, believe in God for the finances. Well, the kids were so
excited. They're using their faith for this vision. When they
got birthday money, when they were blessed with money, when
they made money, they'd put it in the vacation fund. When
people would come by and visit, they give to the vacation fund.
For me, example, I would see it and say, "Vision? I got to give
to vision." I'd put money in the box. Do you know this single
income family of six or seven, went to Orlando, Florida
absolutely paid for, paid cash for the whole trip. That's the
power of having a vision and keeping it before your eyes.
This is from the word of God. God shows us in his word that we
become what we behold. That whatever you keep before your
eyes, it will eventually show up in your life. What are you
beholding? What are you looking at on a day-in, day-out basis? I
like to teach people about having vision boards and getting
serious about it, but the opposite is true. I'm convinced,
if you see nothing, you can expect nothing. This year will
be an exact repeat of last year if you don't have a vision, if
you don't have goals before your eyes. You might say, "Well,
Terri, what is it about a vision board?" A vision board doesn't
make your dreams just magically appear but it's what the clarity
and the realization of the dream does to you that makes it come
to pass. I've heard the late Kenneth Hagin. He said he would
see people praying at the altar and he'd gently tap them on the
shoulder and he'd say, "Sweetheart, what are you
praying about?" He said so many times people would say, "Oh,
nothing in particular." He said, "Then that's exactly what you're
going to get, nothing in particular." I don't know about
you but if the Lord ask me today, "Terri, what are you
praying about?" I'd say, "Lord, here it is. Here's my faith in
action. This is exactly what I'm praying about." I think the Lord
wants to see your faith. He wants to see exactly what you're
believing for. The success world, movie stars, celebrities,
athletes, CEOs, they practice this. In fact, I read a story
about Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he was just a young
Austrian, a teenager in Austria, he said he decorated his bedroom
wall right next to his bed, there was this big wall he
decorated with pictures. He said, "I hung up pictures of
strong men, body builders, wrestlers, and boxers. I was
driven to think big, to dream big." He said, "Everyone else
thought I was crazy." He said, "But what you do is create a
vision of who you want to be and then live into that picture as
if it were already true." Of course, he achieved his dream of
becoming Mr. Universe, I don't know how many times, but he
started with a vision of where he wanted to go, where he wanted
to be. You might even ask, "How do you start? I don't even know
how to get started. I don't even know what my dreams are." In
fact, I had a friend who, she started hosting vision board
parties and using our materials to teach women to dream, she
said, "The biggest challenge she faced was people said, "I don't
even know what my dreams are. I don't even know where to start."
One of the ways I would say to get started, get in touch with
your dreams, I love this story I heard about Will Smith, the
actor. Someone was visiting his house one day and when they
walked in his house, he had this big glass wall with all these
little index cards, like 150 index cards all over the wall.
They asked him, they said, "What is that?" He said, "Well that's
my next movie I'm working on." He said, "You know, every good
movie has ups and downs, good characters, bad characters,
conflicts, victory." He said, "I just move these cards around
until I get it the way I want it." The friend said, "That
looks so confusing." He said, "How do you even know where to
start?" Will Smith said, "That's the easy part." He said, "You
always start with the final scene. You decide how you want
it to end and then you work towards it." Well, it's the same
in your vision, with your dreams, with your goals. You
decide, "How do I want it to end? How do it want the next 12
months of my life to end?" God's the one who said he declares the
end from the beginning. That's what you need to do. How do you
want this year to end? How do you want the next 12 months of
your life to wrap up? In fact, I always tell people, this is one
of the best ways I know to get in touch with your goals and
your dreams this year. Imagine it's December 31 of this year.
It's New Year's eve, you got your party hat on, you're
celebrating with your friends, and you look back over the year
and you say, "This has been the most amazing year of my life."
Now, what needs to happen for you to say something like that?
What needs to happen for you to say, "This has been the greatest
year of my life?" What does that mean? Does that mean that you
paid off your debts? Does that mean you lost 15 pounds? Does
that mean your marriage was restored? Does that mean you got
a promotion in the company? Maybe you finished a manuscript
you've been saying you're going to write for years. What needs
to happen for you to say, "This has been the greatest year of my
life?" You project forward and then you work backwards. You
start working towards that dream. The most successful
people in the world, they grab a pen, Texas size
preferably. They write their dreams and goals. I heard a
story about a guy who, his dream was to be a UFC champion. His
name was John "The Bones" Jones. He said he would sign his
autograph on his pictures as the UFC champ in 2011. Now, he did
this in 2009, 2010. He would sign his name as the champion in
2011. People would even say to him, "How do you have the nerve,
the audacity, to sign your name as a champ?" He said, "You know
what? Every time I write it, I believe it even more." Do you
know John "The Bones" Jones? He became the youngest champion in
UFC history in May of 2011. There's power in the pen, power
in writing your vision. Take the time. Don't let this just be
exactly like last year. After you design your vision board and
you take the time to write your dreams, it's vitally important
that you keep the images before your eyes. This is not something
you do, January 1, put it in a closet somewhere, and then on
December 31, you'd get it out to see if anything just happened.
No, here's the principle. Your life moves toward the dominating
images you keep before your eyes. I'll repeat that. Your
life moves toward the dominating images you keep before your
eyes. The keywords are, "that you keep before your eyes", you
become what you behold. Now, when we come back, I want to
challenge you because some people say, "Well, I've done
that but what do I do once the board is up? I've
taken the time to write my dreams. I've given myself
permission to dream, I'm dreaming outside the realm of
possibility, but now what? What do I do while I'm waiting? What
do I do while the board's just hanging on the wall? I want to
answer that question when we come back. Watch this.

TERRI: Hey, I'm glad you're watching today.
We're talking about the power of having a vision and even
creating a vision board to live your dreams. I remember as a kid
growing up, I'll go into my dad's office and I would see all
these little model airplanes all over his office, all over his
desk, and I thought, "Dad just likes toys." But do you know
what? That was vision. Those were his visions for his
airplanes. As a result, he has owned every airplane that he had
a little model of on his desk. That was no different than
creating a vision board to get clear about the dreams and the
goals that God's put in your life. I've watched TV shows
where people talked about vision boards and success coaches talk
about it. I thought, "You know what? If they're getting
results, what would happen for me if I did the same thing and
knowing that this comes from the word of God, I bet I'd get
results." I started doing that, just giving myself permission to
dream, and everything I begin to write down and keep before my
eyes, it began happening. I've shared this all over the world,
and I've gotten testimonies from people achieving their dreams of
seeing their greeting cards in bookstores or marriages
restored, or, I remember a church in England. They said for
years they were believing for TV equipment. Finally, they heard
me teach on this, on getting specific what you're believing
for, don't you say we're playing for TV equipment. What kind of
equipment? Vague goals produce vague results. They did the
homework. They researched the equipment they needed. They
found out how much it cost. They put the vision on a vision
board, in their church, in their offices. You know what? A TV
station around the corner called in and said, "We're going out of
business. We're leaving. Do you want some of this equipment?"
They got every single thing that was on the vision board. I
received this testimony, I thought this was so powerful. It
was about a lady who said, "You know, after listening to our
teachings, she was inspired to start a dream party, which I
then put in my book, how to host a vision board party? She said
she was getting everybody in her church excited about their
vision boards and getting clear on their dreams and goals. She
said, since it was established, we have had some great
testimonies. But I believe the most powerful one is the most
recent one about my nephew, Andrei. She said Andrei had been
waiting for a new kidney for over 10 years because both of
his kidneys have failed. She said Andrei's mom created a
dream board and put a picture of Andrei with a picture of a new
kidney based on what he had drawn for her. She kept the
dream of her son receiving his new kidney before her eyes
consistently. Your life moves toward the dominating images you
keep before your eyes. Every day, that new kidney was before
her eyes. She said, "And guess what? After 10 years of waiting
but only 4 months of keeping that dream before her eyes,
Andrei received his brand new kidney. Isn't that awesome? I
love that. See God is no respecter of persons. He just
wants us to do what he said to do. You've heard stories of Ms.
Dodie Osteen, how when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
She said when she looked in the mirror, she saw death, she saw
this weak, frail. deteriorating body. She said, "I knew I've got
to change what I see if I'm going to get victory over
cancer." She did, basically, the same thing. She said, "I covered
my wall with pictures of me before the cancer where she was
healthy and alive and full of energy. She said, "I'd put them
all over the refrigerator door. She said, "I'd put them in all
the picture frames in the house." She said, "I had to
surround myself with what could be not what it was." That's what
you're doing. When you create a vision board, you're surrounding
yourself with what can be not just what is. That's the power
of vision. So many times, when you visit someone at their
house, you see all these pictures of the past. The
graduation, the wedding, the birth of the baby, and that's
great. But hey, try framing your future. Get a frame, get a
vision board, and start framing where you want your life to go.
Of course, you have to visualize. You have to see it on
the inside first before it ever shows up on the outside. But
then, when you start adding images, then you're seeing it on
the outside and it just looks more real. It causes that dream
to come alive on the inside of you. You become more determined
than ever to see that dream fulfilled. I want to challenge
you to do the same thing. What do you do once the vision board
is up? What do you while you're waiting for that dream? Do you
know that the most powerful weapon that God has given you is
your mouth? This is the most powerful weapon you have to see
your dreams achieved. You can't just sit around and wait and
wish. You have to use your words to live your dreams. This comes
from the word of God. God's the one who said in Romans 4:17, "We
serve a God who gives life to the dead and he speaks of
non-existent things as if they already exist." What's coming
out of your mouth has everything to do with what you're
experiencing. Think about that. What's coming our of your mouth
has everything to do with what you're experiencing. Your words
are a tool to help you achieve your dreams. I've read stories
of people, successful people, celebrities who have actually
used their words to not only produce defeat but in some cases
even death. I remember hearing a story about John Lennon of the
Beatles. He was asked in an interview one time, do you ever
plan to leave show business? He said, "Oh, unless I get shot or
something." In a different interview, he said, "I'll
probably be murdered by a mad man," and he was. You may not be
speaking words of death, I hope you're not, but are you speaking
negative things? Are you saying things like, "I'll never get out
of debt. This marriage will never improve. No matter what I
do, I can't lose weight." You know as well as I do that the
Bible says, we are snared by the words of our mouth. We know a
snare is nothing more than a trap. When we speak these
negative words, we are trapped by our words. We're trapping
ourselves into the very thing we don't want to happen. If you're
saying things like, "I'll be the last one to get promoted." You
just rapped yourself into being the last one to get promoted.
Or, "I just have a slow metabolism, it runs in my
family." Yo just trapped yourself into always having a
slow metabolism. Or, "At this rate, seriously, we will be in
debt until we die." Okay, you will be in debt until you die.
You've heard of the Miranda rights, "Everything you say can
and will be sued against you"? It's true. Our words are so
powerful. I love what Joel Osteen says, "Don't use your
words to describe your life. Use your words to change your life."
That's what you have to do. When you create a vision board, start
speaking to those dreams, start giving them life with the words
of your mouth. I love what Joyce Mayer said, she heard the Lord
told her one time, "Joyce, it's not enough to stop saying the
wrong thing, you have to start saying the right thing." It's a
two-step formula. Number one, stop speaking negative words.
Number two, start speaking positive words. That takes a
pro-active approach doesn't it? It doesn't just come natural to
start speaking life to your dreams. But, one of the greatest
things you can do to see the images on your vision board come
to life, start speaking them out of your mouth. Start calling
things to be not as though they already are. Matthew 12:34, it
says, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
You might think that your dreams will never come to pass but
don't speak it. Just make it a part of your daily routine. When
I discovered years ago that the secret of your future is in your
daily routine, then I said, "You know what? I could do this every
day. I could do this before I run out the door to go to work."
I made a vision board, I hang it in a place where I'm going to
see it every day, which as important because out of sight,
out of mind. You know what? It's simple to go on there every day,
start giving life to my dreams, speaking them out loud and then
I just say, "Thank you, Jesus." I act as if it's already done. I
want to challenge you to do the same thing. I put in my book a
list of positive declarations to speak out of your mouth. You can
use mine as a cheat sheet if you want. It's one thing to speak
those positive declarations but also speaking God's word out of
your mouth. There is nothing more powerful than speaking the
word of God out of your mouth. I put some of my favorite
scriptures in here like 2nd Chronicles. It says, "I will be
strong and not give up for my work will be rewarded." God is
giving me the desires of my heart and making all my plans
succeed. I delight myself in the Lord and he will give me the
desires of my heart. What about this one? I will not throw away
my confidence for it will be richly rewarded. When you start
speaking God's word out of your mouth, you have gotten the ear
of God. I speak the word of God but I also speak to my dreams. I
want to challenge to do the same thing. Don't just complain about
things that aren't happening. Don't just wish things would
change. Start giving life to your dreams by speaking them out
of your mouth. I want you to get this special bundle that we've
put together. I wish I could share more with you today but
this is my book, "Dream It, Pin it, Live It: Make vision boards
work for you". I've answered questions in here like, "What do
you do once the board is up? Where do you put the board? What
do you do while you're waiting?" I'll teach you how to grow on
the inside, how to develop that successful mindset, that
abundance mindset, where you just expect the favor of God.
You expect God to open up opportunities for you to live
your dreams. I'll talk about even how to host a vision board
party. We have churches all over the world who are getting the
vision board kits. They're reaching their team members how
to get serious about their dreams and goals. Everybody on
my team has a vision board. Is it a coincidence our dreams keep
happening? No. Because whatever you keep before your eyes, it
will eventually show up in your life. There's testimonies in
here that I know will encourage you. People who've gotten out of
debt, people who've seen marriages restored, people
who've opened up their own businesses like fitness centers,
day cares, gotten their realtor's license. I remember, a
story about a lady who drove a bus for 31 years. Nothing wrong
with driving a bus, but one day she just felt like, "God has
something else for me". At 57 years old, she started making a
vision board, getting serious about her dreams. Today, she's a
realtor in Vail, Colorado. It might be time for you to take a
new job, to realize that God has something more for you. I want
to challenge you to get this special offer, "Dream it, Pin
It, Live It", and then listen to the audios. Listen to them over
and over and over. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing."
When you get into that routine of just push and play, hearing
the word, faith is going to come. Maybe it's time for you to
fill up with God's plan for your live. Stop settling for average.
One time the Lord said to me, "Terri, don't be average and
your life won't be average." Up until that time, everything
about my life was average. My routine was average, my salary
was average, my dreams were average. I really didn't have
any dreams. But the Lord said to me, don't be
average and your life won't be average. I remember I had to
make some changes so I went online, and I remember I bought
$60 worth of resources, books and audios. When they rang it
up, I was like, "I can't believe I just spent $60 bucks on books
and audios." Then I thought, "I would easily spend that on
clothing. This is my future we're talking about." Do you
know, the most valuable thing in my house today is my books and
audios because that's what taught me how to go from being
average to being above average. That's what taught me how to go
from having an ordinary life to having an extraordinary life.
God will do the same for you, as long as you just have to make an
investment in your self, an investment in your future.
That's why we've put these resources together, we
discounted the price so that you can start living your dreams. Of
course, the workbook, this is going to teach you the right way
to set goals. I was talking about how 93% of people who set
goals, they go unfulfilled. They'll still teach how to get
into that 7% category who live their dreams. I don't want you
to delay. In fact, they say when you get inspired to do
something, if you don't do something about it within 24
hours, chances are, you never will. If God's speaking to you
today, then get these resources and I want you to send me your
testimony of living your dreams. We're here to cheer you on. I
always tell people, "Don't look at the years you've lost. Let's
look at the years you've got left, because God wants to use
you. He wants to favor your. He wants to promote you. But I
believe he has challenged you. Kick I up a notch. Go from
average to extraordinary. Don't let this year just be another
repeat of all the other years. It's time for you to go the
extra mile. I want to thank you so much for watching us, be sure
to follow us Instagram, Facebook and Twitter so we can keep you
motivated to live your dreams. Thanks for watching.
