Do you know what you want in life?
The No. 1 reason why most people don't get what they want is because they don't know what they want...
Interestingly, most people don’t discover what they want in life until it’s time to die – and by then, it is too late... Don't you think so?
Most people spend the best years of their lives watching television or doing things they dislike. An author described humanity by saying, “Most people die at twenty and are buried at eighty.”
Are you one of the living zombies?
What do you really want in life?
Be a Millionaire?
Famous?
Successful?
Achieve Financial Freedom?
Early Retirement?
Some people struggle in answering such question. When asked what they want or what their goals in life are, many are unsure. They dilly dally in their decision, hardly giving any thought about what they want in life. People without definite goals are letting time pass them by.
Are you one of these people?
If you are undecided about what you want out of life, don't worry. There are many ways of discovering your purpose in life.
Well, for me, what I want in life is achieving financial freedom. It might be an obvious question to a lot of people that we want financial freedom, nevertheless the reality remains that a lot of us will still struggle to find an answer if we were asked to put down why we want to attain financial freedom?
I want financial freedom because it gives me the ability to maintain my desired lifestyle while allowing me to live, work, play and give freely. More specifically, achieving financial freedom allows me to:
- Work any where and any time I want
- Worry free early retirement
- Spend more quality time with family
- Escape rat race
- Enjoy vacation whenever I love
- Have and own whatever I like
- Help the unfortunate and needed freely
To discover what you want in life, try looking deep into your heart. You need to know what you want and why you want it. Often times, people are ruled by logic. People live by what they think they should be or by what others like them to be. The discovery process is the perfect time to listen to your heart. What your heart desires comes from the whispers of your authentic self. Your authentic self is the real you.
Listen to your heart to be able to listen to your authentic self whether what you want is achieving financial freedom. What your heart says usually feels right. What your heart desires is what you usually love to do and this represents your passion. Just like me, my passion is achieve financial freedom in order help the needed as much as I can
Anything done with passion is like play where the task is accomplished without hesitation. You pour out your very best and feel no pressure or resistance.
That's right...that's what you want.
You will totally enjoy doing things that are your passion. Setbacks, difficulties, and obstacles will make it more challenging, but should not deter you from pursuing your goals.
Naturally, there may be barriers that may prevent you from reaching your goal esp if your goal is attaining financial freedom, but your heart’s desire will find ways to overcome these barriers so that you may ultimately get what you want in life. Remember this: the universe supports people who are pursuing their passion and those who are pursuing their destiny.
However, this does not mean that you don’t use your head. People are born with both the mind and heart. Your duty is to live your best life and be in harmony with your mind and heart.
The poet Rumi wisely said:
"Live completely in the head and you cannot feel the breath and rhythm of life.Live completely in the heart and you may find yourself acting like a love-struck fool with poor judgment and discipline.It’s all a fine balance - the head and heart must forge a lifetime partnership if one wants to live a beautiful life."
Listen to your instinct. Part of human nature is the mysterious and spontaneous reaction on things. Often times, these are called instincts. Your authentic self communicates with you and guides you via instincts. Instincts are those gentle nudges that urge you to act and follow a certain path. Your role then is to listen attentively to know what you want.
Often times, we listen to what others say and allow them to run our lives. Parents often do this to their children. “We come from a family of doctors, so my son must also be a doctor.” How often do we hear this from parents who have good intentions for their children?
Parents unconsciously block the true expression of their child’s real self and calling. Friends and critics will discourage you and point out the impossibility of your dream. Before heeding their advice, evaluate the accomplishments of the critics.
Did they achieve theirs dreams?
Do they dream big at all?
Remember, it is your destiny that is in line, not theirs. It doesn’t mean, though, that you will not listen to what other people say.
Hear them out just the same.
But the final decision to what you want should be yours.
There is only thing to remember:
Every person, to live truly and greatly, must define how he wants to live and what his brightest life will look like.
Listen to your instincts and follow your heart’s desire.
You will never go wrong with what you want.
