Do you know what you want? This is a simple, yet very serious and influential question everyone should ask themselves on a regular basis. Are you currently working and living how and where you want to be and if not, why not? What is it that you haven’t been doing in order to reach what you have defined as success? Yes, start from yourself and things you have influence over, don’t waste your time on looking for excuses and justifications outside your control as they are exactly that, outside your control.
During this reflective process, always keep your eyes on the prize and what you want, yet be prepared to be flexible, nimble and agile in your approach. At times, your path will change, but your major life goals should always stay within sight.
