What do I want from life?
Among the many questions that we ask ourselvesdaily, there is one most important thing than all the others combined. This is the strongest question, the answer to which can bring clarity into our lives.
People do not know exactly what they want
This simple question, which we asked ourselves yetat school: "What do I want from life?". Each person should be ready to answer it within 10 seconds, and at the same time give the most accurate response. However, in practice there is little who can do it.
The majority of respondents, as a rule, respond to it in a rather lengthy and uncertain manner:
- I want to be happy.
- I want a lot of money. How many? Well…
- I want a beautiful house for myself. Which one? Beautiful!
- I want an expensive car.
- I just want to meet my happiness ...
- I have no idea. I do not know?
This may sound implausible, but the last answer is more common than others. The problem in all the answers is the same: they do not give the main answer to the question, since they are not specific enough.
Why so few people can clearly answer the question: what do you want from life? There are a number of reasons for this, but three of them are more common.
Fear of change
Fear is the very first reason. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve in life, you will have to take action to get it. It is necessary to make decisions, make changes in one's established life and start working towards a concrete and really desired goal. Do you want to? The answer, unfortunately, is not always positive. It's true, the changes are usually scary. But the fact is that you must see the whole process of achieving the desired goal, useful and enjoyable, not threatening.
Laziness
Hard work is the next reason. Isolation from the whole variety of possibilities of exactly what you want to achieve in life will require a lot of effort. And, naturally, if you want to achieve these goals, you will work hard, work every day, apply moral and physical efforts. Many of us simply fall in the face of such perspectives. Are you ready to invest significant efforts to achieve what you want?
Way of thinking
The last reason in our list is the imagethinking. Most people believe that their life is something that happens to them. And it is in this lies the reason that a person is not able to give an exact answer to the question: what do you want to achieve in life? I live, as it is, in obedience to destiny. These are their beliefs, and they simply do not know how to get what they want from life. But in order to go to the goal, you should define this goal for yourself. For this, you need a conscious intention and exact awareness of your desires.
Describe the goal accurately
It is necessary, without being distracted, within half an hour to give time to reflect on what you really want. Do not let fear guide this process. Spend time on yourself and write down a list of goals.
- If you wanted a house, you need to specify the type, area, price, number of rooms. In this case, describe the house of your dreams in as much detail as possible.
- If your goal is a car, decide on the model and color. What characteristics should it have?
- If your goal is a man, describe it. What qualities he must necessarily have, how to look, what type of character is your narrowed? An extrovert? Homebody? Sole of company? Write it! It really works!
- If it's about money, how much do you need? How much specifically do you need to get from life exactly what you lack?
Formed the idea? The more you define your desires, the better. If you are not able to give exact answers, you will hope that everything will work out by itself, instead of creating and attracting it into your life!
