What do you want out of life? Sounds like a pretty easy question, so what do you really, really, want out of life? It could be a big house, a Range Rover, a fruitful career, or maybe you need lots of money. What does money give you though? Freedom? And what does freedom give you? If you dig deep enough, you’ll realize all you want is to feel good, at least that’s what most people want, it’s human.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting be happy. Psychology shows that even the people who help others have a longing of wanting to feel good about themselves and in helping others they achieve that.
Today, we live in a world where if you want something really, really bad, you go for it. Nothing good comes easy. It takes more than wishful thinking in getting a career of your dreams, a car or even a wife/husband! Things don’t fall from heaven like manna.
With that said, how do you get from wishful thinking to getting what you really want? To infuse your life with happiness, bliss and joy let’s look at some tips which will help you get what you really, really want out of life.
1.Know what you want.
In other words have clarity of what you really want. Career wise, it could be a new job that you have set your eyes on and you want it so bad you can taste it in your mouth, you maybe want a salary increment or a job promotion. In life, maybe you’ve set your eyes on a particular girl or guy and you wouldn’t mind getting to know them better. Getting to know what you want is the first step.

2.Set some goals.
It becomes much easier if you have some guidelines on how you want you want to go about get what you want. If it’s getting that girl, know how you are going to approach her and woo her, if it’s that new job, have a plan on how you are going to make the transition. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
3.Cultivate a positive attitude.
It all depends on our outlook of we view life. A positive attitude goes a long way when we believe we get what we lay our eyes on. Call it being cocky but a negative attitude demoralises us even before we have set on anything. It’s all in the mind. YOU CAN DO IT. Now all you have to do is believe and work on it. Be a person who sees a glass half full and not half empty.

4.Give to Receive.
As mentioned earlier, people who give have a longing of wanting to feel good about themselves. It doesn’t have to be material things, you can give in terms of time, advice, love, hard work and so many things. I don’t know how good it feels for you, but I know it feels amazing whenever I do something nice for someone else.

5.Embrace the uncomfortable and the difficulties.
All precious metals go through a lot of heating to become treasured metals. Think of all the heating and refining that Gold and Diamond have to go through, but in the end they emerge to become one of the expensive and treasured substance on earth. Same thing applies to us, difficulties along the way, negative people telling you what you have set your eyes on is unattainable, shun it all. What doesn’t kill you , only makes you stronger. Once you realize this, you embrace uncomfortable events and experiences, because you know that they are there for a reason.

Know what you want and go get it! What I am trying to convey with this article is this: it’s up to you to make that crucial choice if you are just going to wallow in wishful thinking, remain a dreamer or get things moving the way you want them to.
