Sometimes, we just don't know enough about what we are trying to achieve. Stuart Wilde
The question that I am asked most often is....
How can I be sure that, this time, I achieve the goals that I set?
If you had to guess, what would you say that the answer is? If you guessed that you have to determine what you want, you are right. The funny thing is most people fail to
to do this step right and so they don't focus on what they truly desire to achieve.
Yes, but how do you know if you are clear?
Easy! Can you tell me in 2 to 3 sentences what it is that you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it? If you can, then congratulations, you are well on your way. But be careful here, make sure you are compelling to yourself when you say what you want and why you want it.
Let's look at an example. Suppose that you want to be rich. Ask yourself what this means. Is it a certain amount of money, or is it specific possessions such as a car or a mansion or maybe a particular life style that you are after? Be clear about what rich means to you.
Next, ask yourself why you want this. Let's say that you've established that rich, to you, means having $1,000,000. Ok. Why do you want this $1,000,000? I am sure that you do not want to simply amass bank notes. What do you want this money for? Is it that you want to exchange the money for luxury vacations, or to become debt free, or buy the home you always dreamed of...go ahead, you fill in the blanks.
You've asked yourself the what and why questions and you are ready for the next step....
which is getting to the essence of why you want what you want. Understanding how accomplishing this goal makes you feel. Picture it, think of it, or simply feel it. Whatever comes natural to you, but get to the essence of why you want to achieve this goal.
What Do I mean by Essence?
Let me first say that this step is as critical as the ones before, because, you see, the essence is the crucial, and often unchanging, element of what you want to achieve. You must take the time to really feel the essence of what the goal achieved represents for you.
Don't risk getting more of what you have...
Skimp on getting clear and get more of what you have...Unrealized Goals. We both know you don't want that! So, go ahead ask yourself 3 simple questions:
1) What is your goal? Be specific!
2) Why do you want to achieve this goal?
3) How will your life be different when you achieve it?
Invest the time and get clear about what you want up front. Remember that, sooner or later, you will need to do this anyway.
