The Secret to Getting What You Want
Do you ever find yourself wanting something but not quite knowing how to get it? Whether it be a new job, stronger relationships, more fashion sense, or anything in-between, there are certain steps anyone can take to make their desired outcome a reality. In this blog post, we'll discuss some of the keys for getting what you want.
- Step One: Be Clear About What You Want
Sometimes the best way to start making your desired outcome a reality is by first figuring out what it is that you actually want. Bring to mind the many things it is you want and what holding them would really mean for you. Do not just think about your wants, but also the feelings behind them.
- Step Two: Have a Desire in Mind
Though having a specific desire may seem like an easier way to go, it's often not the best. Having specific desires can lead you down a path that will quickly end up in disappointment. Instead, focus on more general desires like happiness, health, and money. Wanting something like those above will foster much more beneficial actions than thinking about something more specific—like wanting a new job or not wanting to look bad while getting engaged; these things come first with specific wants coming second.
- Step Three: Work Toward Your Desires
The next step is to begin working toward the things you desire. For example, if you really want a job but are unsure of what to do to get one, start researching potential companies and getting out in the market. Doing so will help you figure out what skills you have and which ones you need to improve on. Once that's all set, prepare your resume and talk to people at the companies. The more time you put into working toward your desires, the clearer it will be for where you stand in the job market and how far your skills line up with what employers want.
- Step Four: Know That You Will Get What You Want
One of the most important steps in getting what you want is to know that you will actually get it. To do this, you need to think about how much hard work you put into it and acknowledge how well your efforts are paying off. Also, imagine what it would feel like when things align perfectly for your desired outcome; individualize the feeling so that it's unique and all your own. Know that whatever effort you put in, whatever work you do, and whatever goals you obtain—they are rightfully yours because of the effort you put forth.
- Step Five: Be Patient With Yourself
Once you achieve your end goal, it's natural for you to get frustrated with yourself for not doing things as fast as you thought. This is why it's important to understand that all of your hard work and patience will pay off. You will get what you want, even if the timing isn't perfect.
It's also important to recognize the potential of what could have happened if you had acted sooner, or the potential that things could have gone differently. These however-ifs can play a big part in giving yourself the motivation and confidence to get over when things don't turn out like you'd hoped they would.
- Step Six: Repeat the Process
Once you achieve your desired outcome, always try to repeat the process of working toward your goal. If you change jobs, start applying for new positions. If you get married, start planning for a future wedding. If you become a parent, think about what simple things in life you can start doing immediately to prepare for becoming a parent. What if you graduate college early? What if you discover that getting that job would have put strain on your relationship with your spouse? Remember that no matter how far down the path of hard work and patience it takes to get what you want, there is always another opportunity to achieve what is next.
- Step Seven: Complete the Process
When you have reached your desired outcome, ask yourself a few questions to make sure the results are good enough: Do I feel happy? Am I healthy? Do I have things in my life that bring me joy? If the answer is yes, then you're doing things right. Don't change anything just because something has occurred that you find better or different. If you continue to work toward your goal and continue to stay positive, then eventually it will occur.
