Procrastination is almost at epidemic proportions within modern society to the extent that people spend their entire life not really knowing what they want while the other half flirt somewhere between what they think they want and fantasy. Knowing what you want is the key to self esteem self help and success in life.
If you don't know what you want then you are going to have a hard time finding it or it finding you. You may 'think' you know what you want but it is so global that it doesn't make sense and the universe is waiting for more information to create it into your experience. Here is an example that at a guess is probably the biggest 'want' in the entire world.
"I want a lot of money!"
Let's examine that statement... "I want" so far so good... "a lot" STOP!... "A lot" doesn't mean a thing. How much is 'a lot'? $20, $20Million, a big bag of coins. A lot of what you consider 'a lot' of is different from everyone else. If you live on the streets in Bangladesh 'a lot' to you is not going to be much if you suddenly had to switch and live in Manhattan.
You have got to get specific, define exactly what you consider 'a lot' is. Also, it must be within or just out of your grasp. In other words it has to be realistic and not fantasy based on your current life experience. You can always adjust it further out as you progress, setting new goals as you near the one you have made. That is the work; that is how you continue to gain success, you set a goal, you almost reach it then you set a new challenge, a new goal to go after.
This keeps you interested, it keeps the wheels turning. Reaching a goal and sitting back and basking in your achievement will soon bore you and if you stay there to long you will stagnate and may even get stuck there. Keep setting bigger challengers, bigger goals and you will never be bored, life will always be exciting. I want a lot of 'money'. STOP!... This may come as a surprise to you but 'money' is not real, it is an illusion.
It is merely paper, metal coin or numbers in a computer. You may as well say "I want a lot of digital readout". Not very exciting is it! Money is the means we use to trade goods and service. If you only have a big 'digital readout' then you have no more than the guy in Bangladesh until you trade it for goods and service. It means nothing until you exchange it for something that is real!
Get specific about what you want to do with the new found wealth you are about to experience. What do you want to do, have or help you to become. That is the real value of money and that is what you call abundance. This is the key to self esteem self help and success
