Think. Dream. Visualise.
Get going on this first step. Ignore your life today, as it is, and start noting down your absolute ideal life.
Don’t try to figure out the how, just focus on the what. What would your ideal life, in all aspects, look like?
Get as broad and detailed as possible. Paint a magnificent picture. Do no hold back.

Plan! Plan! Plan!
No matter what you do, you should have a plan. A written plan is even better. It’s great to have thought things through a little and have written down those key points or elements.
This is great visualisation process and prepares you for speed bumps and other challenges you might encounter.
See the vision. Adjust as necessary.

Practice Detail
Big picture and generalisations have their purpose and place. However, you need to focus on the nitty gritty, nuts and bolts and detailed bits in order to finish a job well.
Make a list of all the steps you can possibly think of to finish a project from this point. Then crack on and get these steps completed.

It’s Simple So Do It!
Most things in life are simple.
Stop complicating it.
Make the sacrifices your goal requires and stop dragging it out.

Positive Focus
Sometimes life hits hard and it would be easy to get lost down a negative rabbit hole. You need to resist that. Take a moment and refocus.
Train all your energy on being a positive force with a positive mindset. Be grateful for all that you have. It is far more than you think. Appreciate where you are and what you have. The grass is greener where you water it. So pour some water on your side of the street.
Maintain, or re-establish, a positive focus. Do not let the negative thoughts gain a foothold in your mind. You can beat this and lead people to a better place if you stay positive focused.

Will You Pay The Price?
Everything has a price. It’s usually in money terms, or in time, emotion, mental, physical or spiritual means. Sometimes it is several of these at the same time.
Regardless, if there is something you want, it probably lies on the other side of that price that you’ll need to pay.
Be careful you don’t pay too big of a price to achieve your goal. Though equally, do not think you can pay too little and still reach your dream.
Assess your goal and then consider what sacrifices and price you’ll end up paying. Consider this well. Then, if acceptable, start paying the price and making the sacrifices so that you can reach your ultimate goal.

Uncertainty
Uncertainty can be very destabilising. When you are feeling uncertain, get to the gym or do some exercise at least. Change your state. Change your environment too. Do this especially if you can get somewhere that makes you feel more positive or confident.
Start recognising what you can be certain about. There may be more things than you think. It could be that you have great health or your parents love you very much.
Whatever you can lock onto to anchor your thoughts will be great. You’ll start to relax.

Commit
Be disciplined and follow through on what you commit to.
If it is the gym on Thursday morning at 06:00, then you make sure you’re there at 05:55. No snooze button. No roll over. Just get on your gear and go.
If you aren’t serious, don’t commit.
If you commit, you go. No excuses.
