In order to get what you want, you have to know what you want. And it has to be specific.
If you keep any desire or goal too abstract and high level – it allows for too much flexibility and compromise – and you will just go whichever way the wind blows.
And there is nothing wrong with going the way the wind blows – its often easier to not resist wind – but in the case of wanting to achieve something or to improve your life or change…you often cannot go the way the wind blows.
Because comfort is easy. And comfort is what you have known. And discomfort is the resistance, the barrier, and invisible enemy that holds you back.
In order to conquer and break through these limitations and mental barriers, you want to be very specific with what you want.
It will give you a purpose.
It will give you a reason.
It will be what you think about. More than the reasons why not to, you will think why to.
This isn’t a complete strategy on how to obtain what it is you want. But it is one of the first steps that must be included in the strategy to get what you want.
I recommend knowing what your objective is before you start or before you get too far into doing things. Otherwise, you will forget what you are doing and may start questioning the purpose of all that you are doing.
Second, I do believe creating a strategy is important. You want to make sure you have a process in place – that likely won’t work exactly as planned…but you want to have something in place. So you have a step by step process to get to what it is you want to obtain.
The strategy should allow for flexibility – because life doesn’t work out according to how you always want. But this doesn’t mean you cannot get what you desire.
The reason for a strategy – that includes the beginning middle and end, is important and recommended because when you are in the thick of things…there will be times that you are ready to move through a process. But if you don’t map out what that may look like, then when things get tough or there are those limitations or any adversity, and you don’t know what to do, you may revert back to what you always have known.
You want to make sure that you are progressing and moving forward.
The best way to do that is to know what you want, and then have a strategy in place to obtain that. Then stick to the objective and when all else fails, stick to the strategy until you realize you need to modify it. But this will keep you on track and on course.
How long this takes…that is up to you.
Be Alpha. Be Bold. Keep going.
