Have you wondered ‘how’ you were going to reach a goal or get something done? Have you thought about the reason why you were struggling with ‘how’ you were going to do it?
If you do not know your WHY, the HOW does not matter! Did you get that? The ‘how’ does not matter if you do not have the ‘why’ you want to achieve your goal.
If you know why you want to reach a dream/goal, you WILL FIND A WAY and that ever elusive ‘how’ will emerge.
Don’t think this is correct? Think about a child that wants to reach a cookie on the counter. Got it?
Now, imagine that child pulling up a chair, opening drawers to take a step, or getting an upside-down pot to step on in order to reach that cookie. Can you picture it?
The child’s WHY: the desire for satisfaction. The HOW emerged as the child looked for options around. If the child did not want that cookie, the ‘how’ to get it would not matter. Why? Because: The child would be enthralled with a different activity. Yes?
Think of your WHY:
Why do you want to get a promotion?
Why do you want to get a degree?
Why do you want to get married?
Why do you want to take a trip?
Once you understand why you want to do something, begin with that end in mind and work towards it:
By when do you want to accomplish that goal?
How much time do you have from now until then?
How much of your time are you going to dedicate each day?
What are all (or most) of the tasks you need to do to get there?
How many can you complete each month, week, day?
What can you do each day towards that goal?
Who can support you?
Then, get moving! Take that first step. Remember, you do not have to be great to start, but you do need to start to be great!! Success to you.
