The very first step to getting what you want is to know exactly what you want. 

Most people seem like they never achieved anything. 

It’s simply because they are clear of what they want. 

Most people know that they want to be successful. 

But why are they still at the same place after a few years? 

They never make themselves clear about what they want in life. 

They never make it specific.

Everyone can say that they want to become successful. 

But what is the definition of your success? 

You can say that you’re successful with an income of $20,000. 

You can also say that you’re successful with an income of $6,000.

You must be specific about what you want. 

Give it a figure. Instead of saying acing my exam, why don’t you say scoring 90+ for my exam?

You see, it’s more specific. 

Scoring 80 is an A. Scoring 90 is an A too. But they are 2 different A's.

You can actually see the difference. 

Being specific doesn’t just allow you to know what you want. 

You actually gain more energy to work towards it. 

To make it better, add a time span for it. 

Let's say your salary now is $3,500. 

You want to get paid $10,000 monthly. 

So by when do you want to achieve it?  

Give it a time span. 

Let’s make it 6 months. 

So your goal is to get a pay of $10,000 in 6 months.

Being specific in what you want can help you to move towards your goal. 

It can be a kind of motivation. 

Very few successful experiences happen by chance… no matter a race or a position. 

Most of it happens by design. 

Successful people design what they want. 

The sad part is most people never design their life. 

And that's why those who actually design theirs can be at the top of these people. 

They can get what they want. 

Those who never design their life often end up falling into someone else’s plan.

Only when we know what we want specifically, we are then able to focus on our energy and talents. 

Focus like a laser beam honing on its target. 

And when we’re moving to the target, we develop the resources that we need.

Wherever you are in life right at this moment, you have to start to set specific goals. 

Without specific goals, you’ll never achieve what you want. 

You find that you can’t move far from where you are now.
