Create Clarity On Your Goals

Your lack of clarity is holding you back from achieving your goals.  If you don’t know what you want, then you won’t know where you’re headed.  This blurry vision for your future is only keeping you stuck.  You may have a bit of an idea of what you want your future to look like, but you’re not entirely clear on what you want to achieve.  This creates confusion and chaos as you waste time jumping from one idea to the next.  It’s time to get specific about what exactly it is that you want to achieve.  Here is how to create clarity on your goals.

Dream

First, give yourself permission to dream big for a moment.  Think about what you want to achieve, experience, and feel in the future.  There is no limit to what you can achieve in your dreams.  Allow yourself to explore the possibilities.  Take time to really visualize your future either one month, one year, or even five years from now.  Envision what you want your life to be like and get clear on what exactly it is that you want.

Journal

Next, put pen to paper and write about what you saw.  Write down everything.  Don’t stop to edit, just allow your vision to flow out of you.  When you’re done, read what you wrote and write down one specific goal related to achieving this vision.  This will give you complete clarity on what you need to be focusing on to create the future you want.

Action Plan

Once you have clarity on what you want, now you can figure out how you’re going to make it happen and devise an action plan.  Break down your big goal into little steps so you gain more clarity.  Make a list of all the tasks you need to complete related to achieving this goal.  You don’t have to know every step right now.  But, start getting clear on what tiny steps you can take today that will move you closer to turning this vision into reality.  Having a basic action plan will at least begin to steer you in the right direction.

Clarity

Lastly, think about how you feel when you know exactly what you want to achieve and an idea of what you need to do to achieve it.  You may feel motivated, passionate, excited, and inspired.  This makes a huge difference between actually achieving and not achieving your goal.  Clarity on what you want to achieve and the first steps to get there will set you in motion.  You’re on your way to achieving big things.  Don’t stop now.  Take those first steps and as Rumi says, as you walk on the way, the way will appear.  You will discover your next steps after you take the first few.  Clarity comes by knowing what you want to achieve and taking brave, courageous action to get there.

You need to get clear on your goals in order to achieve them.  Slow down to get clear on what you want to achieve so that you can move forward.  Otherwise, you’ll just continue spinning your wheels getting nowhere.  Take time to dream and fully visualize the life you want.  Envision what you want to experience, achieve, and feel.  Get clear on the life you want to live in the future.  Next, write down your dreams and set a specific goal related to this vision to focus on.  Now you can create an action plan by breaking your goal down into tiny tasks.  By doing so, you’ll start to see the way to achieve it.  Use this system to create the clarity you need in order achieve your goals and live your dream life.
