How To Achieve Anything You Want In Your Life

November 13th, 2008 by Shawn Leave a reply »

How to Achieve Anything You WantDo you want to achieve the things that you always wanted? Let me tell you something, in fact, achieving what you want in your life is not as difficult as you think.

It is the process of getting what you want that makes it difficult.

For example, if you want to be a millionaire and make a lot of money. Deep in your mind you know that what you need to do in order to achieve this goal, right? For instance, when you think about becoming a millionaire, maybe you’ll straight away think of investing in the stock market, or maybe it is real-estate that comes into your mind.

Whatever it is, you know exactly what you need to do to achieve your goals and to fulfill your dreams. The main problem with most people is that they procrastinate and never take the necessary action.

Think about it, why haven’t you achieved the things that you want in your life? Why haven’t you rich? Why haven’t you live in the luxury bungalow that you always wanted? Why haven’t you drive the sport car that you keep on thinking about?

The answer is obvious, you are not taking enough or the right action to make your dreams and goals come true. Am I right?

Almost 90% of us failed to achieve the things that we desire in our life is because of the lack of action. I honestly tell you that achieving the success you want is not difficult because if you read the biography of every successful person, you’ll find that they possess a certain set of mindset, behavior and attitude.

Do you think that achieving great success is difficult? In short, here is how you can achieve what you want in your life…

1. Focus On Your Dreams.

I believe that you know exactly what you want out of your life right? Dreaming about getting what you want is not enough, you need to put in 100% focus in achieving it. If you want to become a millionaire, you’ll have to focus in becoming a millionaire.

When you were just a kid, I believe that you must have something that you want from your parents. Maybe it is a toy or maybe it a place that you want to visit. When you were a kid and you want a bicycle for example, what were you going to do? You were going to cry and shout if your parents did not give you what you want.

Truly think about it, there must be a similar situation happened on you before. Do you get what you want eventually? Most of the time. This is why you need to stay focused in achieving your dreams.

When you put in 100% focus, you’ll definitely do whatever it takes to achieve it.

2. Take Hell Lots of Action

The next step is to take massive amount of action. In order for you to achieve something that you want, you’ll need to take action. Nothing is going to happen without action. Why are you reading this post of mine right now? What makes you click on the button and arrive at my blog now? It is the action that you took that leads you here.

If you are not going to take any action, nothing is going to happen. You can buy hell lots of self-improvement books and read until you’re addicted to them but still you’ll never change. Why? Simply because you’re not applying what you’ve learned. Action is the key to real success.

Learning alone is not enough. Learning is just the potential form of success. The true success lies within the action that you take each and everyday.

These are the only 2 ingredients that you will need to achieve what you want in your life. Is it complicated? I don’t think so. All you need to do to achieve what you want in your life are:

  1. Know what you want, and
  2. Take action to make it come true.

As simple as that. In fact, there are no secrets to success. If you’re looking for the secrets to success, I can tell you that there are none. The real secrets lie within your mind. It is all about how you make use of your mind.

If you’re ‘feeding’ your mind with garbage, you’ll get garbage results. Just like what the phrase “garbage in garbage out” means. You need to think positively to get positive results.

Never before someone that adopts negative thinking ever succeeded in their life. Every successful person adopts the positive thinking habits. Maybe they have negative thinking, but that is just for a while. They know that if they think negatively, they’re going to end up with negative results.

Mindset is one of the most crucial factors in determining your success. If you fail to conquer your inner-self, instead, you let your inner-self controls you, you’ll be like a ship without a captain. To succeed in your life, you need to be the captain of your soul, you need to master your mind and take action on the outside.

  1. I love this post! Very inspiring! I agree wholeheartedly especially with the idea that action– trying things– is the only way to succeed. I have written a book for parents to start their kids early on understanding these ideas “Mobilizing” is the final step of my four step plan for overcoming negative thinking.

    Great article, Shawn.
    Like Anthony Robbins said : “You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”

    Indeed, in order to achieve something in your life you HAVE to take some action. That’s why i invented this idea: spend 23 seconds per day to achieve more. You set daily objectives via twitter and the site (www.23sec.com) follows you up by sending reminders :)

    Because daily objectives are easier to achieve :) What do you say?

  20. Sairam says:

    Goal = Dream + Date
    Unless otherwise you have a date to achieve your goal, its going to be just a dream which appears in your sleep. A real dream is not going to allow you to sleep. Finally without action no goal is going to be achieved.

    Shawn, its a wonderful presentation.
