Knowing What You Really Want Is The First Step

Do you even know what it is that you really want?

Out of your career?

Out of your relationships with your kids?

Out of your relationship with your significant other?

Out of your LIFE??

If you don't know what it is you really want how can you expect to ever get it?

Most people walk around each and every single day "wishing". What are they wishing for? All sorts of things. More money, help, sanity, patience, better job...all sorts of things.

But these are all just passing thoughts in their minds. If you sit down with yourself and really think about what it is you want out of the different parts of your life you are much closer to actually getting them.

The easiest thing to do is to sit down with a pen and paper and list these things:

Spouse/Significant Other (I list this first, because if you have one of these they're more important than most of the other things on the list...yes, even more important than your kids or your job. This is the person you are intending on spending a lifetime with).

Kids (list each one separately by name).

Career (I don't list "job" here because it isn't about your job...it's about your career).

Friendships (list a few of your favorite people here by name).

Life (this is very general, but honestly it's very important)

Now, after each thing quickly list a few things you'd like to have out of this relationship or item. This list is only for you, so feel free to be totally honest. Do you want more time with your spouse? Do you want to fight less with him/her? Do you want a closer relationship with your son? Do you want a better job?

When you get to the "Life" category I want you to really be honest. Think about this one for a bit. Be crazy, like when you were young and you used to Dream about what your future would be. It's never too late to become or do just about anything...so lets dream big here.

Be honest with yourself. What do you want out of your life?

A big house? An expensive car? Maybe you want a convertible. Do you want to have successful businesses? Maybe you just want a clean house more often than not. Or perhaps you want more friends, or less. Do you want to get married? Want kids?

Do you want to live in another location? Work at another job?

Dream away.

Now that you've listed what you really want out of some of the important things in your life, look at the list. Reread every word.

Does any of it surprise you? Are you shocked that you put something on the list that you didn't think you really wanted or needed anymore?

Defining what it is you really want out of each important area of your life, including your life in general will help you open your eyes, it will help you focus better on what's actually important, and best yet, it will help you actually get on the right roads to achieving your wants, your "wishes".

Take the time now to do this exercise. You might be surprised, you might be lifted emotionally, you will definitely be more focused.

You will be on your way to getting what it is you want most for yourself and your life.
