How to Figure Out What You Really Want

Sounds simple, right? In order to live a happy and successful life, you have to figure out what it is that you actually want.

Unfortunately, though, coming up with the answer isn't nearly as simple as it sounds!

When asked outright, millions of people can't answer what they truly want. If you're one of them, you're probably so bogged down in various responsibilities that you never really give any thought to what you want - outside of the traffic on the highway to speed up or the cookies for the bake sale to bake themselves. By focusing solely on what you HAVE to do, you never think about what you WANT to do. As a result, you wind up completely disconnected from yourself!

That's all about to change, though. As long as you've got some patience, some bravery, and aren't afraid of a little hard work, you can figure out what you want out of life.

Here's how to do it:

1. Make "me time" a priority.

How often do you actually spend some quiet time all by yourself? During "me time", you can get some valuable balance and harmony - both of which will give you more energy to make the most out of your life.

More importantly, though, you'll get to spend some quality time with your inner voice. By spending some time focusing solely on you - instead of the kids, that big project at work, or all of the dust in your living room - you'll be more in tune with your feelings. You might be amazed to discover that your feelings have taken a backseat for so long!

2. Give your brain a workout.

It's not enough to sit around and listen to whatever feeling happens to pop into your head. If you really want to discover what you want, you're going to have to dig deep into your brain.

The best way to get started is to have a brainstorming session. Write down all of the things you're good at. Then, write down things that you've done (either recently or in the past) that you loved. After that, write down the things that you've always wanted to do - but haven't done yet.

If you're having trouble coming up with stuff to write down, let your mind wander for a few minutes. Jot down anything that pops into your mind. Eventually, your mind will get on the right "path". In fact, you may discover that inspiration comes out of nowhere, right when you least expect it!

3. Dream big.

Whatever happened to the dreams you had as a kid? OK, so you never grew up and became a racecar driver, but what about all of the other stuff - like climbing Mt. Everest, travelling to a bunch of different countries, or learning how to play the violin? How did those dreams get lost along the way?

Once you recall all of those dreams, start coming up with new ones. Ask yourself, "If I didn't have any limitations, what would I do?" Don't be afraid to come up with big answers. In fact, the bigger the better! The key is to get excited about your life - and excited about all of the possibilities that lay ahead. That way, you won't just know what you want; you'll also be willing to work for it!
