“Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.”
My favorite word in goal setting, and in success in general, is the word “Clarity.” There is a direct relationship between the level of clarity you have about who you are and what you want, and virtually everything you accomplish in life.
Superior men and women invest the time necessary to develop absolute clarity about themselves and what they really want, like designing a detailed blueprint for a building, before they begin construction. Average people just throw themselves at life, like a dog chasing a passing car, and wonder why they never seem to catch anything, or keep anything worthwhile.
Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫? 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭. 𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.”
In this chapter, you begin to crystallize your visions and values into concrete goals and objectives that you can work on, every single day .
