Find the true you

“Be careful who you pretend to be. You might forget who you are.” – Unknown.

Let me share with you four simple steps that made it occur to me that goals and dreams are within reach and I am certain that you will find them useful as well.

1. What do you want? This will help you clarify your intention or goal you want to achieve. Write it down. This act will send neurological messages to your brain which will focus your mind on what you want. This is like planting a seed in the ground, in time, the plant will shoot out from the ground.

2. Why do you want it? Think of how getting what you want or becoming the person you want to become will have a positive impact in the world. Most people give up in life because they did not take the time in this step, resulting in weak reasons.

3. What will it cost you to get what you want? Remember – One half of knowing what you want to achieve is knowing what you are willing to give up or sacrifice in order to get it. In order to get into something new, you firstly have to get out of something old. Once you understand these facts then you are half way there.

4. Are you willing to pay the price? – The answer to this question will keep you focused and knowing what to expect. Many people give up because they don’t take the time to know the truth about what they want. If the price will be tears, pain, time, sleepless nights, being ridiculed, and money – you will know up front and prepare yourself to deal with the challenges. These steps helped me find the real and true me, they can help you find yourself too.
