A man sets out on a journey of a lifetime.
The problem is, he doesn’t know where he wants to go.
So he spends the next 40 years wandering the back roads, never really going anywhere.
Another man chooses his destination. It’s a promised land, far, far away. The dangers he faces along the route are great and the challenges seem almost insurmountable.
Yet because he knows where he wants to go, he is able to find his way, overcome the challenges and eventually reach his destination, where he retires in 10 years’ time.
One man didn’t know where he was going, and so he wandered for 40 years and achieved nothing.
The other man knew exactly where he wanted to go, and because of his belief and determination, he was able to overcome every obstacle and reach his destination in 10 years.
Which person are you?
Most people won’t define what they want until they have clarity on how they will get there.
But because they don’t know what they want, they don’t have the clarity, and thus end up doing nothing.
That’s why you’ve got to decide first what it is that you want, and be totally clear on what that is. Write it down in detail.
Only then will you figure out how to get to where you want to go.
One more thing: Once you begin your journey, take time every single day to revisit your goal.
Just like a builder continually consults the building plans, you should continually go over your goal so that your subconscious mind knows exactly what it should be doing to get you to where you want to go.
This will also help you avoid time wasting activities that you don’t need.
Advanced Tip: Measure what you treasure.
Whatever your goal might be, take daily measurements of how you’re doing.
For example, if your goal is to reach a certain income level, you’ll want to track your profits daily.
If your goal is to exercise and eat right, you’ll want to keep a journal of everything you eat and every exercise you perform.
Whatever your goal might be, measure what you treasure and you will get more of what it is that you want.
