What do you want? What if I told you there is a way to get it? Like most things that matter, it’s a process rather than a quick fix. It requires perseverance but you can apply this process to any area of your life. Whether your goal is better health, closer relationships, or financial freedom, these steps can help.

Clarify Your Wish

It starts first with your heartfelt and upright desire. What is it, and how much do you want it? You have to make that desire, or dream, your focal point. Think about what you need to do for your desire to manifest. Talk to people who are knowledgeable on the subject and will be able to help you. Do you need to take a course, develop a connection, save some money? Figure out the intermediate steps. The desire is yours, so you must claim it for yourself. Speak only success regarding your passion; never confess negative thoughts about it. Discard such ideas as “It is impossible,” or, “I’ll never get there.” Only energize positive expectations. Doing this will strengthen you.
Visualize achieving your wish. Physical pictures can often help more than mental images. Look for pictures that express what it will be like when you have what you desire and put them in a conspicuous location. Dream boards may seem cliche to some, but they are popular for a reason. If you want to lose weight, find an old picture of yourself and put it on your refrigerator. It’s a life principle that we move toward what we focus on. Don’t forget.

Strengthen Your Commitment

You must be committed to your wish. This requires fortitude because you will need to eliminate things that don’t fit your wish. Time devourers like social media and TV can erode your commitment. You will have to be determined to ward off these time thieves. Are there people in your life who discourage you and try to steamroll your determination? If so, guard yourself. Know their position and subtract it from their influence upon you. Only you can decide what you will do with this one life.
