We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ships.

First step: set your goals
January is the perfect time to give clear direction to your mind by setting inspiring goals that you really want to achieve the year to come.
I know I'm not very original here but without specific goals, you would be likely to focus on your weaknesses and problems, as this is default mode for the brain. See the importance now ?
So, be honest with yourself and see what is really worth going for your life. What truly inspire you. Not what you think you should do or be to please others. What do you want to achieve for you.
Otherwise, there's big chances that your goals further your struggles, increase your stress or make you harder on yourselves instead of support you.
When this done, ask yourself : WHY is it so important for me to achieve this goal ?
This step is crucial to your success.
The WHY is your garantee to make it through when bad days come. You know, the one you convince yourself that finally it's not so important to achieve those goals, they won't make you happier anyway and you don't need more.
A big why will keep your internal and external saboteur powerless and help you stay focus.
Last thing I want to bring to your attention is this. Ask yourself how achieving each goal you've set will make you feel. This will bring to light your true motivation.
Example...
Let's say that I want to earn over $5000 a month because it makes me feel secure. So what I really want is to feel secure. Knowing that, I open my mind to much more possibilities to feel secure than if I just focus on making a certain amount of money each month. It expands my vision and rise up my awareness.
So if it's not done yet, please take time to set your goals !
You want to be the unique captain of your soul, so take full responsibility for the direction of your ship !
