In life, We don't always get what we want, And It can suck. Especially when it's something we care about! We can luckily change our ability to get what we want! We aren't forced to stay in the same place forever. Here are some tips to help you get what you want!
What Do You Realistically Want From Life?
We really can have whatever we want, But many people fail to come up with realistic goals!
We say we are going to do something, But the reality is, We have no intention to fulfill the necessary requirements to get that thing that we wanted. Many of us want similar things in life. Our goals vary only slightly. We all want to have nice things, financial stability, Food to eat, And extra for play. As well as enough to help the people or causes that matter to us!
The problem is, No one gets anything for free. So you have to realistically decide if the work required is worth the price to you. Growing up, I always wanted to be an Astronaut. So I looked into the education, The training and the chances of actually making it become a reality, And I quickly realized that to me, It wasn't worth the amount of work and effort I would have to invest to make the dream come true. It's not that I'm not willing to work hard because I am. But the investment requirement was too large for me to see it as worth it.
Many people settle for less for what they want Because they aren't whiling to make the sacrifices.
Change Your Mindset
Your perception of the world, Has a big impact on your ability to get the tables to turn in your favor.
I'm amazed on my bad days, how “unlucky” I become. On my good days, I feel like the luckiest person alive. When you genuinely believe that you can change your situation, no matter how bad. You can and will fight for those changes.
If you fully believed you could never make a difference in your life or your situation, Why would you try? Chances are, You wouldn't. The effort would become pointless and stupid! When you have this belief, you won't even try to work towards those goals.
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone!
We love to avoid risk and go with whats easy. I find myself making random decisions like that all the time. I immediately choose whats easy. When my boyfriend and I wanted to book a vacation we were talking about a lot of random places we could go. Once we thought of San Diego, We quickly became obsessed with the idea of going. Until we realized that not only our last two vacations were in San Diego, But going to San Diego in the summer was super expensive and packed with tourists. ( We avoid people as much as possible). The thought of going some place new scared us, But we eventually we agreed to try Denver, Colorado because neither of us has been there and it's quite cheap At the moment!
When we refuse to get out of our comfort zone, We screw ourselves over with getting further in life! So Even if you take baby steps, Just do it! Your future and success depend on it!
Conclusion
Growing up, I realized something scary. That many people failed to get where they wanted to be in life. It broke my heart, But I quickly learned that many people simply do not get out of their comfort zone, change their mindset, And aren't realistic with their goals. You have a lot of leeway with where you want to go in life. And you need to Utilize your resources!
