The New Year is off to a great start and progress is on track. And, if you're shaking your head in an affirmative manner to this statement, I commend you! I know staying focused on your outcome(s) is not always easy. They say life gets in they way and "they" are right.
Indeed - things happen and they can definitely interfere with our desires if, we don't have the following two things well defined and in place:
1. Referencing my last post: "Appreciate your desires - they speak to who you are", which pinpoints the importance in recognizing your moments of clarity and paying due attention to them; we must also,
2. Answer the WHY. Generally speaking, this concept refers to knowing the reason(s) why you want something. Naturally, this tool results to be a powerful one if applied correctly. Let me explain this through a simple example.
I say to myself: I would love to learn to speak Spanish because it sounds cool.
Now, three years have gone by and all I can still manage to say is: hola, gracias and (of course) una cerveza, por favor.
What happened with this wish; what happened to my desire? I was certainly clear about what I wanted and sounded passionate about it (hence using the words: "..would love to..") yet, I did nothing to accomplish it. The reason for this behavior is simple: I did not have a compelling reason why, in other words, I did not have a big enough reason to start with.
After having a moment of lucidity and making the decision to commit to it, it is essential to (now) have a big enough reason that will guarantee commitment and assure completion. Under this scenario, the same example might sound like this: I am going to learn to speak Spanish because I want to add value to myself as a person and be able to connect with people in this tongue as I am convinced doing so will allow me to get to know them and get exposed to the culture in a completely different way and level. That is an opportunity I can't let slip in my lifetime.
Under this scenario I've decided to be very clear with my desire and at the same time, I've given myself a compelling reason (the juice) to assure I accomplish it. Unquestionably, the individual who puts this into practice will have a very different perspective on the final outcome than the person who just wants to.
Through this example, we are able to see how our why is more than just a reason to do something. When put into practice our why equals the juice we need to fuel our desire and make sure we don't stop until it is done. It's a game changer. You might've also heard some people refer to this concept as your drive.
The good news is that we all posses this drive, it lives in us. Some of us are just better at calling to it, than others. But, that too can change with proper guidance.
Here, the intent is that you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the real value that comes from creating a compelling enough reason that serves as fuel to assure that you accomplish what you most utterly desire and commit to it.
Another way of saying this might be: fuel your hunger with drive (your why) and you'll start to experience real change.
To your sauce!
