Getting What You Really Want
The Motivation and Goal Achievement Short Course
by Kevin Hogan
Ever wonder why some people never get anything good out of
their life?
It's irritatingly simple...
It's because people don't know what they want in the
first place!
KEYPOINT: You must be specific in IDENTIFYING your passions,
then you must focus your efforts on that particular desire.
Here's the deal: People have been in the same hamster wheel
for so long they have no idea or dreams of what they want to be
when they can "grow up again."
The vast majority of people obviously don't really know what they want.
They haven't dreamed of "what they wanna be" since high school.
They thought the selection process was over when they got the
job after college.
For one moment they're excited over a particular thing or endeavor.
The next thing you know they completely abandon it; either because they
lose their interest or because they give up when they encounter
a little problem.
Those who always change their minds and those who give up
easily when the going gets tough can never get anywhere.
Maybe right now you're a bit confused. You don't seem to know
what you really want in life. You might want to consider these:
- What makes your heart beat with excitement?
- What makes you happy?
- What are you consistently thinking of day & night?
- What do you want to do for the rest of my life?
- What do you enjoy doing?
- What are your obsessions?
- What things make you jump with joy?
Now STOP don't race past this. DO THIS
To help you out, just follow these steps.
1. Write on a piece of paper all your possible answers for the
seven questions above. Write anything, even seemingly
unimportant ones.
2. Circle 5 to 7 items that interest you the most.
3. Evaluate and choose with your heart the best one or two
(but no more) things that are worthy to spend all your time &
resources with. The chosen one should really be something
that brings out the best in you.
Why emotion?
Because early on in goal setting and motivation it's best to
do something for which there will be little internal self-sabotage. You can ALWAYS change later and dream NEW dreams.
Other than the exercise above, you could also ask your close
friends and relatives about their thoughts of how they see you
and what you might be happy doing in the very near future. Other
people often have a view of you and me that is far more accurate
and prophetic than what we might see in ourselves!
Use Your Heart...Your Emotions
Other people may disagree with you, but you
should be firm with what you really want. Others may give
comments or advice, but the final decision is always yours to
make. Ultimately, you should concentrate on what you want,
not on what others want for you.
Don't go sleeping tonight without making a final decision on
WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE!
...because if you do, then your dreams end when you wake up....
