It all starts with awareness. Conscious awareness.
What is the conscious mind you might ask?
The conscious mind is easy to understand. In fact, you’re using it right now. It’s your “waking” mind. The awareness of things you can focus on. It’s able to deal with between 5-9 ideas or experiences at a time. It’s the “here and now” mind that makes choices, makes plans, and helps you enjoy life.
So let me ask you, what are you consciously aware of that you REALLY want to achieve, obtain, save for, aspire to, be have?
Example:
If you are consciously aware of what you have ALWAYS wanted you may very well be also consciously aware of what gets in your way. The bad habits, the lack of self management/ discipline etc.
So, let me ask you another question, and this helps immensely with motivation.
Why do you honestly want ........ INSERT here .....
Really - WHY do you want it?
Knowing the “Why” simply means understanding why you are doing something before you do it.
Some will refer to the “why” as the “guiding principle” or the “primary objective”. They all mean the same thing: understanding the purpose of the activity.
Understanding the purpose of your activity will enable you to remain steadfast in your pursuit, and give you a greater chance of having an undoubtable belief!
So here is a 3 step process to ignite your fire of purpose towards finally getting what you want.
STEP ONE
Get clear on the outcome. What do you want and WHY?
STEP TWO
With conscious awareness, note down what might actually get in your way from achieving step one. What might hinder you or prevent you taking action?
Use the following system to assist you overcoming roadblocks - the IF - WHEN - THEN strategy:
Or:
This is one of the best problem solving and troubleshooting methods.
An example - for saving money:

STEP THREE
Establish the resources you have to prevent the above from occurring. Make sure you're organised and you clear the pathway to achieving what you want. Stay congruent to what’s important and stay in alignment with your why.
In summary:
Now remember, knowledge is only power with action, inspired action.You can read this post, you can like it, but if you don’t ACTION it, it won’t work.
It only works if you DO the work.

At some point in life, most people have experienced the support of a person that brought the best out of him or her. I know - I’ve had it too.
These people shaped your thinking and motivated you to move towards your dreams. Often these people showed up by chance, and they may not even know how much of an impact they have had in your life because probably you never told them so.
But what if instead of relying upon chance, you could, on-demand, call up an extraordinary person to guide you to take the right steps, to help you reach your utmost potential.
