Many people have no idea where they are going, and usually end up somewhere they would not rather be. However, extraordinary people usually know where they are going from day one. Mainly because they live backwards. I know that sounds strange, but let me explain. They create a future for themselves, and live into it doing whatever is necessary to reach their goals. An exercise to help you do this is called ACT:
A-stands for accept your present state. Understand your weaknesses and strengths so that you can improve upon them over time.
C-stands for create your desired state. Close your eyes or sit quietly somewhere for awhile and see yourself exactly the way you want to be. Write down exactly what you see.
T-stands for take the steps to get there. Gather your strengths, weaknesses and dreams together and embark on the journey to your desired future. Set small goals to help you improve in places that need work, and stay in an environment that is conducive to your growth.
"Our lives are composed greatly of dreams, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together."
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
