Do you know what you want?

Hello everyone... today's pondering raises an important concept when it comes to achieving goals.

Most people don't get what they want in life or achieve goals because they don't know what they really want or what their goal is.  They may have some vague idea but they can't actually express clearly what they want to achieve.  All too often when I ask people what they want... they easily and quickly tell me what they don't want e.g. "I don't want to feel unfulfilled", "I don't want to be so poor", "I don't want be this unfit", "I don't want to be this unhappy", " I don't want all the arguments and tension with my family".

There's a huge difference between knowing what you don't want, and knowing what you do want.  And that is the difference between getting what you want... and not.

If you are focused on what you don't want... that's what will show up in your life.  What we think about is what we bring about in our life... if you don't want to be in debt and that's what you constantly think about, you will find that more debt will show up in your life.  If you don't want tension in your relationships -- that's what you will get. 

Bottom line is... be clear about what you want -- be specific.  Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want .

Do you know what you want???

Take care
