I have come to realize something in my short life spanning a mere three decades... Getting what we want out of life is much harder than we ever thought as naive children with big ideas, hopes, and dreams.
While it may be infinitely more challenging than I ever thought possible, achieving what I want it is much less complicated than I ever realized.
There are a million "self-help" gurus on the circuit, each trying to sell you their version of what they think is the "secret" to life. I've watched "The Secret." I've listened to the likes of Tony Robbins...
I'm sure they've helped some people. I'm also very sure they've "helped" those people lighten the weight of their wallets as well... Some people do genuinely care about helping others achieve their goals, however, nothing comes without a price.
I think it's all bullshit. Quite literally. They want you to believe that they have all of these "secrets" that they have to share with you and that the information they have is so powerful, that they simply must charge you for it.
There are really two key things you need to get what you want in life. They are so simple that we want to believe that they can't possibly be true. They are also so very hard to actually execute, that we want to believe that there must be an easier way. After all, who doesn't want something for nothing? Or at least minimal effort?
The first thing you need to get what you want out of life, is a clear understanding of what you want. How can you get what you want if you don't even know what it is? Definitively identify exactly what you want so that you can start to work towards those goals.
So many people have vague goals like, "getting rich" or "famous." Those are not goals. They are the by-product of some other goal, such as being an actor, singer, writer, radio host, etc. You have to identify what you want, so that you have the ability to go after it.
After you have identified what you want, there is one very important last ingredient that you simply must have... Desire. Not just any desire. You have to want it more than anyone else in the world. The people that are successful, didn't get there by living stagnant, effortless lives. They busted their tails and did whatever they had to do to get where they are.
If you want something bad enough, and want it more than anyone else, you are going to do whatever you need to do to get it. A lot of people say "I want this more than anything," but they don't really mean it. If they did, they would have made the sacrifices necessary to get what they wanted.
If you have a goal, a dream, a wish, you can make it a reality. You just need to know what it is that you want, and you have to want it more than anyone.
