The First Step In Creating Goals
The first step is deciding what your dream is.
What is the one thing you you constantly want for your future? It could be where you see yourself as you grow old, or merely something that you want to accomplish by the end of the year.
Perhaps it’s something that fear has held you back from.
Whatever it is, it has to be true. Most people don’t have to think too hard about what their dream is, because it is right there in your thoughts.
For me, that dream is to live free.
What does that mean? It will mean different things to different people, but for me it is clear.
I want to live free of dependency. I don’t want to pay someone else’s mortgage. I don’t want to have to worry about putting a nail into a wall that when we move out I will have to worry about filling with putty and painting over it and worrying about making sure the paint matches.
I want to be able to build a garden without worrying about when we move out, tearing it down and returning the yard to exactly how it was when we moved in.
This year, we made the plunge and bought our own property with a house. So, does that make my dream different?
Not really, but there are still steps I need to take.
