There are specific things you can do to accomplish what you set out to do. As you aim to achieve take meaningful and purposeful steps because what you do matters.

Whether it is a New Year’s Resolution or a long desired dream you have been yearning, it is important to have a clear idea of what your dream looks like. What do you envision? What do you see that gives you the motivation to surpass obstacles, difficulties, committment to persevere and see it through completion? What does success look like and feel like once you have achieved your dream?

The more definitively you can answer these questions, the more likely you will get where you want to go. It is important to be specific, to see your accomplishments, to imagine the feeling. This will keep you focused on what you need to do. When you know what your desires look like, you will know the path to get there, and most importantly, you will recognize that you have succeeded, after all.

Spell out in very specific detail what you want to accomplish. For example, if you want to lose weight, say the number of pounds you want to lose he weight. If you want to save more money, tell yourself how much you want to save. If you want to socialize more, tell yourself how you will do it.
