Call to action!

Doing little things every day all adds up to a BIG future

Now is the time to actively design your future. Think long and hard about what you truly want. Are you currently happy as you are? What would it take to make you happy? Whatever is on your list, start finding a way to weave it into you life.

Plan your trip!
Plan your next move carefully. Often we lollups around from day to day, simply existing without any true idea of what we're going to do next, where we'd like to be, or how we're going to get there. You wouldn't start a holiday to Paris by simply turning left or right from the end of your street, (well I guess you COULD and you might have fun, but it would take you much longer to get to where you wanted to be if you did). Life is pretty much the same. You have to take charge of it. Steer it in the direction you want to go. Work out where you want to be then take steps to getting there.

Each day take a step closer to your goal. If you want to live in a nicer house for instance, spend time each day making your current home sparkle. Add key touches to transform it from something ordinary to something extraordinary. You don't have to spend a fortune doing this, you can do it simply and easily by keeping it clean and making small but vital changes to the way you present it. Take pride in it. If you need new furniture, measure up the space available and keep a note of this close to you, so if you see an item you'll know if it's likely to fit or not.

Land your dream job.If you're not satisfied with your current job write a list of the kind of job you want. Include in this list the types of things you would do in the day, how long your working hours are going to be, your pay structure, your work clothes, any benefits you want from your job, like a health scheme, or gym membership etc. Use visualisation and creative writing techniques to 'paint' a picture of the future you in this fabulous role. Use the present tense 'I work in a job that I love doing...' works better than thinking 'I want to work in a job that I love'.

Look carefully for options and opportunities. Often we are looking for a specific thing, when something fabulous goes completely unnoticed because we're not looking for it. Keep your eyes open for options and opportunities.

Admit to yourself what you truly want. What we want and what others think we want are often very different things. It's ok to admit the truth not only to yourself but to other people too.

Make it happen!
