Something I’ve always struggled with – and I believe a lot of you do as well – is the fact that I’m very happy with my life; I genuinely am, but yet I want more. Not in the way that I wake up miserable or ungrateful but in the way that I know I can do better and I want more for myself and my family.
You realize that there’s average people just like you and me in this world who dream the same things we do but then actually go pursue them – like really pursue them. Those people you hear and read about – those are normal people that decided they didn’t want to lead a normal life and did something about it. We look at them like heroes but, in reality, they just figured out what they wanted and went after it.
When you get down to it, what do they have that you don’t?
While there’s certainly a lot to unpack here – and I plan unpack all of it – I have to think that this really all boils down to one starting point: successful people know what they want.
Whether it be in the form of SMART goals, journal entries or a visualization board; these people wake up with a purpose… a why.
What’s your why?
I’m literally so sick of hearing that question that I’m somewhat annoyed I asked it but, to be honest, I think so many people hate it because they don’t want to take the time to properly answer it. Coming up with a good answer to ‘what’s your why?’ is hard.
If you took the time to become clear on exactly what you want and why, how might your life be different?
