So you’ve sat down, you’ve dreamed big dreams and written down your goals. You might be embarrassed because your friends would laugh. Even now, looking at the page, if you dreamed the biggest dreams your heart and mind could you might find them, in your everyday conscious mind, pies in the sky. If you do, that’s good. It means you are heading towards the greatest things you hope for. If you don’t that could well be because you know you’ve known of your dreams long enough to be comfortable with them.
It’s important to discover what you need to do. Start with the big one- How do you climb Mount Everest? Well, how do you? You discover the answers by asking questions.
When you ask questions, you gain more information about the things you need to achieve the goal you’ve set- the answers themselves provide the milestones. Your exercise today is simple.
Take the goals you’ve written down and ask yourself five essential questions.
Who?
What?
How?
Why?
When?
How is the most powerful of these questions. “How will I do this?” presupposes already that you are going to do this, and it’s this commitment that will lead you on.
Now take your list of milestones, look at it carefully, and right now, take the first step. You’ve already proved that you can.
Tom.
