If you had a magic genie that could grant you three wishes, what would they be? Most of us might wish for financial gain, maybe even love, success, better health or a sexier beach body.
The tale of the magic genie is an old fairy tale but deep inside yourself there is a magic genie that could grant your wishes if given the opportunity.
This genie can be called self-determination. Self-determination or drive is what differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful. Acknowledging your goals, developing a plan and following through will help decrease the space that stands between our present state and our aspirations.
Follow these steps to begin shaping yourself today:
- Acknowledge the discrepancy – recognize who you are now and who you’d like to be
- Brainstorm – identify the qualities and skills necessary to be the person you’d like to be
- Strategize – determine the steps necessary to make the change
- Initiate – put your plans into action
