Why You Should Define What You Want

If you do not know what you want to achieve in your life, speed doesn’t matter.

Competition doesn’t matter. Work doesn’t matter. Thinking does not matter.

What truly matters is what you want. Know what you want, then do whatever you can to make it happen.

But you must define it first. To do that, according to Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben. Hardy, ask yourself the following questions:

‘What are you ultimately going for?

What are you ‘optimizing’ for?

What level of capability and results do you want to develop and master?

What are the standards you want to refine and actualize?’

Interesting, right? When you are answering them, be specific about what you truly want, what you care so much about.

Answer them in your own unique ways. Why? Because, according to Dan and Dr. Benjamin, ‘Your agency as a person is based on what you choose to develop yourself into.’ And, ‘It’s your responsibility to to define what you want and to direct your focus and attention toward that.’

Remember that ‘whatever you focus on, you become.’
