4 STEPS TO GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
We grew up believing that when opportunity knocks, we would open the door and the life we desired would be on the other side. When we stop hearing opportunity knocking it’s because we’re blinded by the devil’s weapon—disillusionment. When disillusioned we give up our power which leads to fear and eventually stagnation. We don’t hear opportunity knocking so we begin to believe there is no opportunity at all.
Don’t go there! If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door! Your future is on the other side of that door. This is the perfect time to Press the Reset Button on your life and take advantage of the generosity of a Do-Over. Abandon thoughts of disillusionment, take back your power and BE in charge of your future. Grab your tool belt and gather a few supplies, here are four steps to getting what you want:
1. Describe what you want. Describe it fully….in detailed vivid color. You can’t get what you want until you can fully describe what it is. If there were no perceived obstacles in your way, what do you see yourself doing? Give yourself the freedom to brainstorm and the answers will come. There are no wrong answers in Step One.
2. Explore your options. What did you learn from Step One? Take your realizations and turn them into real choices. Begin your research. Use the contacts you have today, and be open to the idea that people you haven’t met yet will want to help you.
3. Design a blueprint. Take the information gathered from the exploratory process and lay out an action plan for achieving your goal. An action plan is a series of small incremental steps you can take to move you closer to the situation you’ve outlined for your life. Be sure to attach a realistic deadline for achieving your goal.
4. Implement your daily plan. Keep the momentum you’ve built going. Break your action plan into daily, weekly and monthly goals. With continuous forward motion, you will get what you need at the exact time you are going to need it. Persistence and forward movement will help you reach your goal.
Getting what you want requires that YOU be the person in charge of the change you want to occur. Banish disillusionment from your life. Reclaim your personal power. Use these four steps to create the life you want to live. They are the tools you need to build the door to the opportunity you seek.
