Optimizing what you have to achieve what you want

#MondayMusing

Hello friends,

Quick question: What do you have right now that could be very useful to you on your way to realising your vision/goals? Making the most of what you have to achieve what you want entails making the most of your resources, skills, and opportunities.

Here are some pointers to help you maximise what you have to achieve what you want:

• Determine what you want and why: What’s motivating you? Is it happiness, money, impact, or fame? Get clear with yourself about what you think you want. Don’t judge or doubt it. What do you want to achieve and why? We suggest you start with figuring out what you want because let’s just say that there is more than one way to skin a cat. In other words, there is more than one way to attain a goal. If your goal is to make an impact in society, well there are many ways to get there. Read on….

• Determine what you have: Begin by determining your strengths. What do you do well? What comes naturally to you? In the words of Judge Judy, “the greatest gift you can give yourself is to find something that you’re naturally adept at and figure out a way to make a living out of it.”

• Determine your resources and how to expand them: When you think of resources do you think of human capital such as your networks and communities? Well friend, you would be wise to do so. Oftentimes we feel alone in our journey thinking that there is no one that can understand where we’re going or where we’ve been. While no one can experience the world exactly like you, by networking and speaking to others you can learn more about how to get to where you want to go. And even if others don’t know, surrounding yourself with people who believe in you can help boost your self-esteem as you navigate your dreams.

So why not start this week looking at what you already have - you may be surprised by just how much you actually have.

And friends remember: with the right network, anything is possible!

Have a great week!
