Duncan Nugget® #59: From Wanting to Having
People spend a good deal of time—especially around the beginning of a new year—writing and talking about what they want. I guess that’s called goal-setting (wanting), but it’s not goal achievement (having).
What’s the difference between wanting and having?
Doing.
You’ll accomplish more when you change your focus from from what you want to what you will do to get what you want.
It’s good to vividly envision your goals. It’s more productive, however, to concentrate on action steps that will make them come to fruition. It has never been about what you want. You don’t get what you “want”, you get what you “do“. So…
Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Take action—now!
Keep the “doing” locked in your mind and you’ll spend more time “having” and less time “wanting”.
