You have to decide what you want to do, have and be.
What you want to accomplish, experience and what you want to get.
One of the main reasons why people don’t get what they want is because they have not decided what they want.
They have not defined their dreams in detail.
You have to stop settling for less than what you want.
You have to stop saying , i dont know. i dont care, it does not matter or whatever.
When you are confronted with a choice, no matter how small it is,. you have to treat it as if you have a preference.
So you have to ask yourself – if i did not know what, what would it be?
If i did not care, what would i prefer?
If it did not matter, what would i rather do?
See, not being clear about what you wnat, is simply a habit.
I challenge my clients to make a todo list of 33 things that they want to do, be and have.
Sit down for just 15 minutes and ask yourself over and over again, what do i want? What do i want? What do i want?
And at first you will start jotting down, a new car, a bigger house and so on.
But something magical happens at the end of the fifteen minutes, as you keep on writing down what you want.
Your real you begins to speak.
And you might start writing down” I want people to love me”, i want to be able to express myself.” , ” I want to make a difference”, “I want to feel powerful.
These, are the true expression of your core values.
Now be clear about your vision, about your ideal life – your vision of your ideal life.
Your vision afterall, is a detailed description of where you want to go.
My mentor Jack Canfield says that in order to have a successful life, your vision has to include seven areas.
Like work, finances, recreation, health, relationships, personal dreams, and contribution to community.
Right now, for most of you reading this – at this stage of your journey you do not need to know how you are going to get there.
What is important, is that you figure out where their is.
I remember when we started our business, my vision was always that it was going to be a multi-million dollar, multi-store business – even when we were struggling to do $5000 sales a month.
I might not have known how we were going to get there, but it was a vision that drove us.
If you are clear on what, the how will take care of itself.
I like to think that we all have a inner GPS – when we have decided where we want to go, and we clarify our vision, and we log in our destination, we will start moving in the right destination.
And your inner GPS will start unfolding the route as you continue to move forward.
Once you clarify, stay focused on your vision, and the exact steps will keep on appearing along the way.
Once you are clear on what you want, and keep your mind constantly focused on it, the “how” will keep showing up.
And sometimes that will be, just when you need it, and not a moment earlier.
This is something i always say to people – Always dream big, big big dreams attract big people.
It really does not take more energy to create a big dream, than it does a small dream.
And dont let anyone talk you out of your dreams – especially the people that i like to call “Dream Stealers”.
