What do you want to do with your life? Most people never go after what they want because they don’t know every step to get there.
The only rule of achieving your goal is knowing where you’re going and knowing that you will get there, you do NOT have to know how you’re going to get there. Imagine a person going up a wall of ice, imagine he has all of his equipment, his rope, his pickaxe, his climbing boots, how does he get to the top? He’s standing on the ground and lookig up at 100foot vertical wall of ice, he looks up and has absolutely no idea of a path to take, he just sees himself at the top. He reaches up and put a pick in, he then put in another pick, then he pick up his foot, and then the other, now he’s not standing on the ground any longer. He’s suspended on the vertical wall of ice that goes up to 100feet, he adapts to the changes and his environment and then, and ONLY then, he sees the next step. He then move this pick then that pick thrn this foot and that foot, NOW that’s how he gets to the top, a step at a time and thats how you’re goin to get to your goal.
You just have to know the first step to take and when you take that step, you’re going to find that your condition, your circumstances and environment will change and you see HOW you will make the next step. It’s a matter of adapting all the time, you only have to know two things, you have to know where you’re going and you have to know that you’re going to get there. You’ve got to see it in your mind, that’s how Hillary got to the top of Mount Everest.
