The best way to achieve your goals is to think backwards. What does that mean?
First, have the end goal in mind. Picture it clearly by bringing to your mind what it feels, sounds, looks or taste’s like! Involve your senses, and then figure out what you need to do to get to that end goal- just the step before it.
Then you picture the step before that and then the step before that.
The universe responds to you when you are specific, so always ask yourself what do I need to do to get to that stage? Consider it as if you are telling someone a story in retrospect of how you achieved your goals, this helps you break them down.
The law of nature and indeed the law of success states that the order of things is BE, DO and then HAVE. So the end goal is what you HAVE, the intermediate goal is what you need to DO to get there, but most importantly at this point in time, is who you have to BE.
Success is in the person, not in the end result, so often when you make this backward journey you will need to consider what sort of person you will need to be in order to have success. It may mean learning a skill- often it is the vessel that needs investment (meaning you)! It is the vessel that creates the capacity for success.
So ask yourself who do I have to be?
