“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” —Mark Twain
If you want to get anywhere in life, you have to start. It’s not about pondering endlessly; it’s simply about doing. Ideally, you should know what you want because if you don’t, anything will seem acceptable.
Clarifying Goals:
However, if you have a goal in mind and want to achieve it, the best thing you can do is start today. If you are not that clear-minded, just keep taking actions, and with time, things will start making sense. You will figure it out.
If you are feeling really confused, here are a few steps you can take:
- Sit and write down ten things you want out of life.
- Once you have written them, narrow it down to three things you want out of life.
- Reflect and think about what you really want out of life, and from the three things, choose one to focus on.
Staying Focused:
Focusing on one thing leads to clear thinking. If you are trying to juggle so many things at once, it can be overwhelming at times, and you may feel you are not progressing, as the saying goes, “you can’t ride two horses at once.”
Once you know what you want, sit and write down few action plans. Write down the things you need to do in order to achieve your goal, and make sure you do it.
