5 Ways to Clarify What You Want In Life

How do you know where you want to be in life without asking yourself some deep, thought provoking questions? Ask things like…

• “If I could do, be, or have anything, what would it be?

• In an ideal world, what do I want my life to look like in 5 years?

• If I had to pick 3-5, what are my top priorities?

Journal

Journaling allows you to put down your thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, etc on paper. When you write it down it’s the start of putting action to your words. And you can’t accomplish your goals unless you’re willing to take action.

Voice Them

Talk to your best friend, partner, mom etc about your goals. When you share your goals with someone else you 1. increase the likelihood that you’ll complete them, but 2. Be able to brainstorm and get insight from others.

Understand Your Why

Your “why” is the meaning and purpose behind your goal. When you have a “why” then you’ll have a more clear vision of your goals and the actionable steps you need to take to achieve them.

Break It Down

If your goal(s) seem too daunting to ever realistically achieve, try breaking it into smaller goals. This will help you create timelines and actionable steps for each small goal that will lead you to your big goal without feeling overwhelmed.

Once you’ve established what your clear life goals are, use these tips to help you stay motivated and achieve your goals:

1. Create deadlines
2. Be realistic
3. Track your goals
4. Failure is a lesson, not the end"
