How to Get What We Want in Life

1. How to Get What We Want in Life We only live once so we’d better make the most of the time whilst we are here! “How to get what we want” will be our very own life map of where we are now to where we want to get to. Life is just too short for wishes and “Should haves”. Instead, what we are going to do is to design the life that WE want and actually go out there and grab it! We will rediscover those lost ambitions, those dreams that had fallen by the wayside. Everyone in life wants to be successful. And Success is mostly defined as more happiness, more fulfillment, rewards, money etc. There is not one definition of success. It means different things to different people. Our definition of what success is can change at any point of time in life. One thing that is common amongst everyone is that everyone wants to be successful and nothing is better than success in life! Let us take out time and reflect upon what success actually means to us. Our definition of success is formed by: Our upbringing Our beliefs

2. Traits Our attitude Our peers Society Every experience that we have in life There is a myth that states that people are born winners or born losers. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are techniques, methods and ways of behaving that will enable and help us to succeed. We owe it to ourselves to get the most out of our life. The worst thing that we can do is to look back in 40 or 50 years’ time and say “I wish I had done this” or “I wish I had done that”. Creating a vision and a mission of what we want out of life will provide us with some direction and momentum to move forward. Writing a mission statement is not easy and it shouldn’t be something that is rushed. Instead, if possible, we should try and get away from our normal environment. When people lack a mission in life, they tend to just have materialistic goals and want “things”. But after people have achieved, achieved and achieved some more they say to themselves “Is that all there is?” Success without fulfillment is failure! Writing a mission statement is an ideal way for us to get to think about what we want to do in our life time. Pretend that we have just passed on; think about our achievements, our life’s work and what we have done for others in our lifetime. To maximize our potential in life we must analyze our SELF-ESTEEM. Make sure that we are in the position whereby our mind and body are one. When we have achieved this, we will know because we will never have felt anything like it - THE POWER OF A HIGH SELF-ESTEEM AND THE CONFIDENCE TO ACHIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING. Always remember that we should work out what we want, why we want it, how we will get it and then work out what type of person we need to become in order to get it! Success is all about common sense and unfortunately, common sense is not common!
