If you’re determined to get everything you want without waiting a lifetime, one of the biggest secrets to making it all possible is to always starting with the ideal in mind. Focusing on what’s “practical” lowers the bar, while setting it as high as you can dream shifts your ambitions into high gear.
Recognize that not everything works out exactly as planned, stay cautiously optimistic, and you’re sure to keep your feet close enough to the ground. Some questions to ask yourself are:
- What will be the pinnacle of your career?
- What the highest position you will ever seek?
- What is the most impressive thing you want to accomplish or the biggest impact you want to make?
- What would you like to be known for?
- What will your days and nights be like?
- Where will you live? And play?
- What symbols of success do you hope to possess?
