To achieve any goal you must understand why you believe in it.
If you really want to accomplish a goal, to have something that you want to become a reality, then clearly establish your reasons to believe why it is truly important to you. Do not move forward with your pursuit until you have established this critical step.
Do this exercise: Make a list of all your Reasons to Believe (RTBs) – that is, the meaningful reasons why your desire should and will happen. Initially, simply jot down all your ideas without regard to tiny details or sentence structure, just get the thrust of your thinking down on paper. Sometimes this exercise can be done very quickly and other times it may be best to allow your thoughts to evolve over time. This process depends on the subject matter and whether this is a new brainstorm or a dream that has been percolating for some time. Always make sure that your reasons are your own.
When you feel that you have established your RTBs for pursuing your desired goal, you will have truly begun the foundation for your commitment to achieve your dream. You will realize, "Aha!, so this is why the goal is so important to me."
The next step is to crystallize how you are going to accomplish your pursuit. When setting out to create a plan of action, that's when you can begin refining the step-by-step approach toward achieving your goal. Keep your RTBs clearly in mind, do not get bogged down. Your baseline reasons and enthusiasm are paramount to your success.
