If you’re at a point in your life where you know that something needs to change because you’re struggling, maybe due to overwhelm, stress, constant tiredness or lack of focus, you’re probably at a crossroads. You feel unsure which direction to go in, afraid of taking a path that’s too challenging and unfamiliar. So, you keep moving forward in the same direction. You take the easy option.

Getting clear on how you want to look back on your life brings the opportunity to create the vision now of how you truly want to live your life. Let this vision guide you down the right path, not the easy path.

Think about what it is you’ve been holding off on from your list of goals because it just seems so far from reach. What did you decide to do and try to dive straight into, but quickly hit a brick wall because you didn’t know where to start, or began doubting your ability?

Once we’ve got clear on what we want to achieve or have in our lives, we need to make it happen right away. This can be a great driver in many respects. It can help you to get motivated and take appropriate action to achieve what you want. On the flip side, however, it can have detrimental effects.
