Get What You Want in Life by Deciding What That Is

The first step to getting what you want out of life is this:

Decide what you want.

~Ben Stein

It is so true that you need to DECIDE what you want your outcome to be. So many of us go through life complaining that it isn't what we want it to be. But the first step has to be not only to envision what you want, but to DECIDE that you will pursue it.

This week: Think about the outcome you would like to have in your life. How do you want to be living right now? Get a clear picture, and fill in the details--what you will see, what you will hear, what you will feel, even what you will smell and taste. Make it vivid in all of your 5 senses. Then, take the first step: DECIDE what you are going to do to get there.
