Know what you want
Do you know what you want? Money, freedom, approval, to be happy, to be sad? Whatever it is, what are the things that you do every day that will get you what you want. The premise to this is that we have a choice. Do you believe you have a choice? Some may say not. Ask yourself this question, do you do all you can to put the odds in your favour for the choices you want?
You maybe in a job that you don’t like, or at least wouldn’t be at the top of your list. The job you are in now is as a result of the choices you have made in your life. The schooling you had, your attitude towards education, the further studies you did and the limitations you put on yourself about what you are capable of doing. How did you approach your first job, was it a means to just earn money, or to gain valuable experience. It may of been both, however which was prominent.
Look at what you want, then list the things you do everyday that take you 1 step closure to what you want. Oh hang on, what if you really don’t know what you want? This is tough and quite sad. We might know what we want to feel i.e. happy, content, relaxed, full of life, high spirited. Look at the things you do each day that give you these feelings. Look at the things you have done in the past that have given you these feelings.
