Deciding What You Want is the First Step to Getting It
________________________________________
When working with my clients, one of the very first steps we take is to help them get crystal clear about what they want.
Most people will tell you that they aren’t happy or don’t feel satisfied in life because they don’t have what they want. Yet, the main reason people don’t have what they want is because they haven’t DECIDED
what they want.
When you live your life not defining your desires in clear, specific detail, then you end up settling for whoever and whatever shows up.

There’s something inside each of us, deep down, that knows exactly what we want and who we want to be.
We started out in life knowing what we wanted and we were completely unafraid and uninhibited about asking for it. We cried out loud until our needs and desires were met, and once we were crawling and walking, we went after what we wanted with full force.
And then, people started telling us we couldn’t have what we wanted. We heard things like, “Don’t touch that, get down, leave that alone, eat everything on your plate whether you like it or not, you don’t really feel that way, you can’t have everything you want, stop being selfish, stop doing what you’re doing and do what I want you to do.”
After years of hearing these types of messages, most people settle into a habitual way of living that is based on doing a lot of things we don’t want to do but that please a lot of other people.
It’s not selfish to go after who you were meant to become. Those around you can only benefit from seeing you reach your highest potential and achieve your dreams.
Take some time to ask yourself, “What kind of person do I want to be?” “What do I really want to do, and what kind of life do I really want to have?”
Then ask yourself, “What can I do today, to get me just a little closer to that?” And then decide to start taking action.
