Good morning! I want to start by asking this question: How are you going to get there if you don’t know where you’re going?
There are many people in the world right now who are unhappy with where they are in life. They desire to be in a better place and they know it’s possible, yet they are still stuck. They are probably stuck because they do not have a clear goal of what they want to accomplish. So, today, you will learn a 3-step process to reach the next level in your life.
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
– Pablo Picasso
1. Know Where You Are Going
I think we could all agree that the first step to reaching a new destination is to first know where the destination is. When you get in your car to visit a new place that you’ve never been to before, the first thing you do is type the address into your GPS, right? It’s the same concept as goals in life. In order to get to where you’re going, you need to know your destination.
Is your goal to get a bigger house? To make $1,000,000? To publish a book? Start a business?
What is it?
The possibilities in life are limitless, and it is up to you to decide what you want for your life. Humans, by nature, shape their lives, decisions, and choices to follow the norms or unwritten rules that govern their surroundings. We set out to be great and live our lives as we see fit until we are confronted with various factors that remind us of the gap between our goals and humanistic beliefs.
Don’t be condemned by society. Think deep and long about where you want to be in life, and make a clear, precise goal for yourself that will lead you to your ideal world.
2. Learn What it Takes to Get There
Once you’re in the car ready to go, and your destination has been entered into your GPS, you will then see clear directions on how to get to your final destination based on where you are currently.
Without the directions, you will get lost.
Without knowing what it takes to reach your goal, you will get lost.An easy way to learn what it takes to reach a goal is to google it. The information available to humans today is endless, but it’s up to humans to use the information for good. You could also read a book, listen to a podcast, or watch an interview with a person who has already reached the specific goal(s) you are trying to reach.
Please do not start your journey of reaching a goal until you know exactly what it will take to get there.
3. Make a Plan
Now that you have your destination determined and you know your directions, it’s time to pick a route…in other words, make a plan.
There may be many routes to your destination, but you want to choose the route based on your own personal preferences. For example, someone who enjoys driving on the highway will choose a different route than someone who is terrified of driving on the highway.
It is the same with creating a plan to reach your goals.
Figure out what you can do day by day to help you reach your end goal. It will not be easy, but it is definitely possible.
To begin, you must take a leap of faith. However, this is difficult because humans prefer to remain in familiar situations and become complacent, even if it is painful. Fear of the unknown keeps us firmly rooted in the known chaos and toxic environments.
The next level of your life will require you to develop a new mindset. Take it one day at a time, and believe that you deserve better.
Keep going!
