What Are You After?

What are you chasing? What are you going after? What do you want to achieve for yourself? What is that one thing that you can’t stop talking about? What is it that you can’t stop thinking about?

Whatever it is that is keeping you up at night, you must go for it. Things happen

when we chase them,

when we go after them,

when we do what others don’t do, and

when we focus on what is possible.

What you want is why you get up every day. What you are after is after you. Why? We attract who we are. We attract what we want.

Is it going to be easy? No, it is not going to be easy. But you can do it. You can achieve what you want if you do not waste your time on things that are not related to what you want.

You can achieve what you want if you focus on what you can do to change your life. You can make your life happen if you do not lie to yourself, if you are true to yourself.

If you want to move forward, you must stop focusing on what is going on right now in your life.

If you can do something about what is going on in your life, then do something about it. Or you can reach out to people who can help you. If not, then move on.

Move on. Because you have it takes to move on.

You have what it takes. You can reinvent your life. You do that by focusing on what is possible, not on what is not possible.

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.’
