Know the -Why- of your Desire: The First Step to Your Success
Anyone who wishes to improve his/her lot has to be very clear on what does s/he want from life. This clarity of intention is the most important step in manifesting your desires. Writing all your wants on a piece of paper helps further in giving absolute clarity to your thoughts. But what actually clinches the deal is a simple three letter question word, ‘WHY'.
We have to be absolutely clear on why we want what we want. Why do you want more money? Why do you want to become an IAS officer? Why do you want to get 95 per cent marks? Why do you want to write a book? Why do you want to build a house? Why? Why? Why? Keep your focus on why you are doing what you are doing.
If your focus is not right, you will give up your dreams at the first possible obstacle that comes in your way. Ever wondered why 90 per cent of people fail at improving their lot in life? This is the reason; they don't keep their focus on the ‘why'. They are not clear why they want what they want. They don't know the real benefits. They are just subscribingt to herd mentality. Are you one of them?
Our problem is that we get stuck in ‘how'. How will I study? How will I clear the entrance exam? How will I get there? How will I get a job? How will I get a promotion? Etc. We keep asking, "How will I do this? How will I do that?" These ‘hows' make us anxious.
They keep us worried. They make us waste our energy in trying to figure out how we will accomplish things. All this wasted and ill-focused energy only pushes away our desires and dreams further. We feel disheartened when we don't get any answers to our hows.
