How to Get Everything You Want in Life

The biggest drag in life seems to be when routine sets in and you lose all sense of purpose. What makes this even worse is when chaos sets in from some area of life, such as with finances, and causes you to feel like you're losing control over everything. Here's how to get back control and accomplish all the things you want to do.

1. Realize what you would like to accomplish and why. Many people these days have a lot goals but do not actually realize what they truly want in life. You should worry less of what you want "in" life and more about what you want "from" life. If you find what you want feelings rather than material possessions, this is the article for you.
2. Begin with making a column. Within the column list out your current situations and brainstorm pathways to get you on the right road success. Reminder: Getting everything you want cannot be done alone. Gathering support from others is always a brilliant way to get your foot in the door. The sky is the limit, and achieving your dreams is something that we all have the privilege to strive for. For many the dream will be lived, and unfortunately for some failure looms.
3. Identify Obstacles. Make a second column after the first one. In this column, write down everything that's preventing you from accomplishing that task. Be completely honest. If it's not enough money, write it. If it's not enough time, write it. If there is nothing preventing you from getting something done, write that down. Identifying any obstacles that are preventing you from accomplishing anything is one of the most important elements here. This will serve two purposes - it will highlight all the things you can do that you've just been lazy about (such as laundry), and it will give you an idea on what you need to overcome to get those items crossed off your list. What's important to realize at this point is that the underlying cause is, ultimately, that inaction is the number one thing preventing you from doing all these things. This leads you to the next column.
4. Formulate a Plan. Make a third column and write down a plan of action now that you know what's preventing you from accomplishing everything you want. The reality is that you have to take action, and without having a plan, you'll just keep spinning your wheels and nothing will get done. If one of your obstacles is not enough money, maybe you can write down ideas on how to make more money, how to spend less money, or how to get a handle on your finances. If there is nothing preventing you from doing something, write down that you need to JUST DO IT! If your goal is "Learn to ride a motorcycle", and not having a motorcycle is what's preventing you, write down "find a friend with a motorcycle" or "save money for a motorcycle". Write down anything that comes to mind.
5. Put Your Plan Into Action. Now that you have a plan, you need to act on it. It is all up to you at this point.
