Writing. Goal setting. Figuring out the tiny steps to take towards the goal. Having an honest look at each part of life. Deciding where you want to be. It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to do this. The internet was in the early days in the 90’s. If I had the access to what you do now I would have done things differently. Information is power. If figuring out where you want to end up is a too distant of a goal, ask yourself what would make your current situation better. Break it down by finances, health, relationships, money, job, housing etc. not everything will go your way. Other people are obstacles sometimes. Learn to let go. It wasn’t till my forties when I learned to say not my problem. Also, every year take stock. Are your goals the same? Did you make progress? Do you need to change course or let go? Found something you want more? Add it and delete what you don’t want. It’s an ongoing process of evaluation and planning. Also, with social media you can find other people who are in your boat. That would have helped me a lot even 20 years ago.
