What is your "why"? Have you ever asked yourself that question? If the answer is no, then you should take a few minutes to ponder it. Figure out what it is that drives you towards accomplishment. We all have different reasons that can lead us towards the same goals as others, but the important part is WHY. A goal without a will, is nothing more than a wish. When there is no drive to push us forward then our dreams are only hopes that will never come to pass.
If you have asked that question, then take a few minutes for yourself and decide if your reason is still the same. Over time our WHY can become modified or possibly even completely different. It is crucial that we have a solid understanding of WHY we do what we do and where we wish to be. Close your eyes and breath. Form a solid picture in your mind of where you are right now. See yourself exactly as any other person would see you if they happen to walk into your room. Now progress forward in your mind and move one step at a time until you are standing within the success that you desire.
One key note about success. When you picture success, it shouldn't be an end point. It isn't an image of you standing in your own personal bank vault with money piled to the ceiling, unless your ultimate goal is to own a bank. As an example, my idea of personal success would be waking in the morning with an idea such as taking the yacht down to the Bahamas for the week because I choose to do that. My idea of success is the ability to live my own life as I see fit, with my family close by. It is not an ending, but more of a beginning of my actual life and I will achieve it.
Take about 20 minutes to meditate on this information and see where it leads you, unless you are too busy. There is an old Zen saying that goes like this. "You should meditate for at least 20 minutes a day, unless you are too busy. Then you should meditate for an hour." The future is impatient so don't keep it waiting.
