What is it? How long have you wanted it? How have you tried to obtain it in the past? What got you closer to it? What took you away from getting it? Who already has what you want? Could you ask them how they got it? Are you willing to do what they did?
It's a fact that sometimes we become so inspired by what we see a successful person enjoy that we desire to be what they are - But if we don’t do what they did, stop doing what they didn't do, we will never have what they have.
Let’s call what you imagine you want “your dream”. It is important to make certain that it is your dream and not someone else's. You need to develop a burning, persistent desire to have it. Take the first step even if you don’t know what the next step will be. When you see the next step, take it without hesitation. Celebrate the small wins along the way. Never settle for less than your dream.
It's also important to forget your self-image and increase your self-esteem. Self-image is based on how the world sees you, while self-esteem is based on how you see yourself. You can do so much more, but like Emerson said, “You don’t know what you can do until you’ve done it?” So, go ahead and take that first step towards your dream.
