How Did I Get Here?
I mean, really, really, what-the-heck-is-going-on confused.
Unless you have very clear goals of what you want, it’s very easy to run around in circles.
Sometimes you may be running in circles so long you forgot why you even started.
All of us have some very vague, yet incredibly strong desires.
Food, money, companionship, safety, social acceptance and recognition.
Which means it’s pretty easy to go chasing something because we THINK it’s going to get us one of those things, but we haven’t really thought it through.
And we get halfway through (whatever it is) and we start to rewrite our original intention.
Maybe we sort of thought we were going to get one thing, but we ended up getting an experience instead.
So we tell ourselves things like, “Well, at least I know better.”
It’s both incredibly simple and potentially very difficult to get what we want out of life.
It’s simple in that all you’ve got to is clearly define what it is you want, and take some kind of action.
If you get closer, do more of what you just did. If you didn’t get closer, or you got something else, do something different.
This requires we first set a very clear, and very solid goal of what we want. Without this, it’s VERY easy to get sidetracked.
Imagine what would have happened to some of the great inventors of all time if all they wanted was to make something “cool” that would get them some money and social recognition.
The only reason they kept going forward, despite all the obstacles that the world threw up in their path, was that they had a very clear idea of what they wanted.
Not only that, but they also had a VERY STRONG belief that it would happen. Not a hope, not a wish, not a “one of these days” kind of vague idea that most of us have.
That’s really the only difference between greatness and mediocrity.
Maybe most of us are too afraid to set goals. After all, what if we fail? What if people find out what we want and tell us we’re fools for trying?
Well, guess what? All those men and women throughout history that invented great products, medicine, methods of travel, all the things today we take for granted, they had those doubts too.
But they simply ignored them. They focused on their dreams, rather their fears. They turned their dreams into goals and plans they KNEW they’d achieve.
What about your dreams?
If you are bold enough to turn your dreams into a plan, you WILL achieve it.
