Knowing what you want. That’s the starting point.

I know, I know. Trite. Cliché. Heard it all before. Been there done that. That’s what I used to say too.

Then I remembered—knowing is only half the battle. The other half is applying what we know. Consistently. And getting back on the wagon when we fall off.

I recently rediscovered that when I keep what I want at the forefront of my mind, and make all decisions based on whether it will bring me closer or farther from creating the life I want I am most likely to get there.

So what was my starting point? Deciding what my life mission is. What’s my goal, or life direction. What do I want my life to look like—all facets of my life.

And then I make discrete decisions based on this vision.

Cliché? Perhaps. But it’s working, so I’m going to keep on doing it!
