So far we have established that
understanding the importance of creating a proper perspective
within your everyday life is important to your journey. With that
said, gaining a proper perspective or introspective of your life
cannot be done without identifying a few key components
specifically. The first component is known simply as #YourWhy. 'Your why' is a term used to identify
your reason for waking up every day and striving for your goals and
ambitions. Simply put, it is important to identify and write out
why each goal has importance to you. This line of reasoning will be
used over and over whenever deemed necessary. When you are facing
failure and all resources seem to be exhausted, your why will push
you towards an untapped resource and will give you the motivation
needed to allow yourself to try again as many times as
possible.
The second component is
#YourWhat. Identifying what you want from your
life and why it is important to you will allow you to focus on one
specified direction. What is it that you really want beyond the
vagueness of success? Being vague with your goals will almost
certainly lead you to vague results. Last but not least,
#YourWhen. Give yourself a timetable, set
deadlines and stick to them.
People who have yet to identify
with their 'why, what and when' usually switch course a multitude
of times and also tend to never follow through with the task at
hand. So let's use a widely popular example. Let's say that your
goal is to be a millionaire with no further explanations. This
leads to too many alternate interpretations. There are too many
holes in that statement. How many millions do you want to obtain?
Why do you want to be a millionaire? What will you do to obtain
this large sum of money? When is your deadline? How will you
maintain your income once you become successful? Being a success
story is a detail oriented task.
