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.’

Don’t Play This Game

Choose your game wisely. Choose your game based on what is truly important to you. Choose your own game based on what you want to achieve in your life.

Don’t choose your game based on what other people want you to do. That is not a winning game. It is a losing game. It is one that you will never win.

Because it is not your game. You don’t belong there. You are just trying to fit in.

Yes, life is tough enough. What do you think is going to happen to your life if you do not have the courage to follow your own path?

What do you think is going to happen to your future if you don’t have the courage to play your own game?

Happy? Angry? Frustrated? I do not know. You know better. And you know what you can do. Do you?

Why not play your own game? You will win when you play your own game, when you live your own life. Do not play other people’s games. Do not live like other people. Because, according to Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, ‘No one else has the exact same goals or standards you do. … Your standards aren’t the same as anyone else’s. Your objectives isn’t the same. Your Unique Ability and Calling aren’t the same. … You can’t beat someone else by being them, just like someone else cannot beat you at being you.’

If you are serious about growth, your own growth, you must have the courage to be yourself.

Because no one can beat you at being you.
