So often in our life, after we set our goals, we think of “Someday”. Someday I’m going to have that lake house… Someday I’m going to be gorgeous and attract all the attention… Someday I’m going to take that trip through Europe… Someday… Someday… Someday. Here’s the problem with Someday… there’s no guarantee and it won’t magically appear.
Setting goals and having dreams is the first step to achieving the life that you want to live. However, when you constantly look at the world and think about all the things you DON’T have and think negatively about your future… your dreams are never going to come true. You have to believe that it’s possible and constantly move towards them. If you want to be a partner in your firm but you consistently wish the day was over then you’re not putting forth the effort for the promotion. Think of life as a game. In order to “win” you have to take the steps to reach it.
Say you want financial freedom but you believe the only way to get there is at your 9 to 5. You can’t think inside that box because working at a typical job will never get you financial freedom because once you stop working you stop earning money. That’s why you need to look towards real estate, investments, network marketing or formulating a business you can sell to start doing one of those other things.
If you want to be in shape and feel beautiful but you constantly sit at home and eat junk food- you’re not moving towards your goal. Absolutely every single one of your “somedays” are possible but it will take some type of action (keep an eye on possibilities- don’t try to force things) and a positive attitude. When you consistently view the negative then you never see the opportunities that are right in front of you.
I know it’s been a few days since I’ve written, I was aching to get my hands on the keyboard but our computer was having issues! Life has been pretty fantastic recently. I’m getting better at believing in possibilities. We had spent a little too much on Christmas presents and the bank was a little low so I decided to attract some unexpected income. The other day in the mail was a $200 check from my mother in law for Christmas! Yesterday on my daily checklist of things to look forward to I put that we’d have at least $3000 in sales at my mom’s boutique. I left at 6 with over that! My problem is that when I set a goal like that I want it that day but often it takes a couple so I need to learn to have faith and not force it!
However, I do find it hard to visualize so I’m trying to work on that, hopefully it’ll get easier in time. I’ve still been great at recognizing when I say something negative about myself or others and it’s getting to be further in between. I’ve even been taking compliments a little more. It’s definately improved my overall attitudue! We’ve even been getting more invites for events and meeting fantastic new people.
Which brings me to my change today. I want to meet new people. I want to expand my personal network, both personally and professionally. Don’t get me wrong, I have amazing friends and family but I grew up with five siblings and lived in a sorority house all through college. Even almost five years after college I still miss the involvement and having people around all the time. In that I also want to attract people with similar beliefs in possibilities. A lot of my friends think I’m crazy because I try to be so positive all the time or talk about ideas for stepping outside of the box.
What do you feel is a good way to meet new people?
Do you think I’m on track with my changes so far?
Could I be doing something better in my posts?
As always, thanks for the feedback!
Join the party!
