You Know What You Want,Now Go Get It!

We are wholesome creatures consistently looking for fulfillment out of life. As we grow and develop, there will be plenty of things along the way landing on our wish list. These wants will come from every corner of our life, whether it be at work, on the road, at home, or something we want within ourselves.   If you feel like you’re missing something out of life, asking for help can be a daunting task. Even then, asking for help and receiving it are two totally different things. If you don’t know how to ask for the things you want, you’ll continue to fall short of your own expectations.   When you can get anything you want, there will be an endless amount of doors opening up for you. Your future will be bright, but it’ll take a variety of habitual changes and several steps before you get there.   Strengthening Your Mindset   Many people will reach for the things they want before truly understanding what they want exactly. They might get what they want, but not feel a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment for doing so.   This will happen when there’s a disconnection between our heart, mind, and corresponding behavior. If the things you want don’t correlate with the things that bring you ultimate joy, happiness, and pleasure, you’ll always feel like a piece of you is missing.   Of course, some goals and tasks we set for ourselves throughout the day will be necessary -- though they might not bring joy. Things like cleaning the house, getting that report done at work, or going to that executive meeting in the morning.   Not all tasks will be rewarding, but they’ll be worth it when you introduce a healthy balance of tasks and goals that inspire or motivate you.   Prime Yourself For Success   When learning how to receive anything you want in life, you can prime yourself for success by practicing mindfulness throughout the day. It’s important to take a few moments throughout the day to collect yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings before you run yourself dry halfway through the day.   When this happens, we often lose sight of what we want or make decisions that don’t hold any weight on the things we want. It doesn’t matter what techniques or activities you do to prime yourself, whether it’s yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, listening to music, or just sitting down with your pet.   Give yourself the time you need each day to ground yourself -- it’ll make getting what you want easier when you have a clear mind.   Leverage Your Resources   It won’t matter how confident you are in your skills, talent, and abilities, you won’t be able to go through life alone. You’ll need help from other people, you’ll need the assistance of technology, and you’ll need the proper information in order to get what you want out of life -- whatever that is.   With so many resources available to each and every person, you’d be a fool not to take advantage of what’s out there. Furthermore, you’d be surprised by all the people eagerly willing to help you get what you want. All you have to do is put yourself out there consistently and use what’s been right in front of you this whole time to your advantage.   For those that don’t leverage their resources, it’s never too late to take a look around and see what resources are out there. If you want to make up for lost time, the best thing to do is to start right now.   5 Steps to Fulfillment   When searching for fulfillment out of life, it’s important to have a powerful and organized scheme of attack. You’ll need to stay focused on what’s ahead and play your cards right, but what you want is within your reach -- if you really want it.   Below, we’ve listed a 5-step plan to getting what you want and finding that sense of meaning in your life:   1. Be Specific   In order to get what you want, you have to know what you want -- it’s that simple. Otherwise, you’ll forever be chasing something that holds no meaning or value to your present and future. Nothing will break your spirit more than achieving something for no reason at all.   When deciding what it is you want, be specific. When you generalize your wants, you receive generalized results. Don’t just say you want a job, but describe the exact job that you’re looking for, why you would be a good fit, and how you’re going to get it.   If you don’t specify in clear detail what you want, you’ll find your heart and mind disconnected from the beginning.   2. Unify & Conquer   If you’re on a mission to get what you want, it’ll be difficult to cross that finish line by yourself. It’ll take a community of resources, knowledgeable people, unrelenting support to get there. You’ll have to rack someone else’s brain and learn from their success before succeeding yourself.   It’s amazing all that’s possible when we unify and conquer. Power lies in the masses, yet people rarely take advantage of it. Make it known that you need help, make it known what you’re after, and make it known that you’re ready to learn -- you never know who might show up at your doorstep ready to teach.   3. Share the Value   While you’ll often come across people that are more than willing to help, it’s important that you return the favor in some way -- share the value as some might say. Working together requires an understanding that other people will have needs too. When we can find a way to benefit both sides, it’s a win-win situation.   After all, no one will want to help you in the first place if they know it’ll go unappreciated. Make it worth their while and they’ll make it worth yours. You might even gain a working relationship with someone for future endeavors, further growing your ever-so important network.   4. Believe In Yourself   When we encounter rough moments in our life, we will start to lose confidence that we’ll be able to make it out okay. Failure, obstacles, and road blocks are inevitable in our lifetime, but they shouldn’t be the reason you stop believing in yourself.   When we stop believing in ourselves, so does everyone else. It’s important to keep a positive attitude and mindset from start to finish or else our negative emotions will eat us alive. It’ll only get worse when everyone else starts to walk out on us as well.   5. Don’t Quit   It can be easy to walk away and give up when someone says “no,” but you should know that one man’s trash will always be another man’s treasure. Just because one person isn’t showing interest in helping you get what you want or one technique isn’t working how you thought it would doesn’t mean you should quit.   When you find your back up against the wall, try remembering why you started this journey in the process. Go back to the first step and read the detailed, descriptive, and specific goals you set for yourself.   What do you want? Why did you set those goals? Why did you want this in the first place? Your answer is often right in front of you.
