We   live   busy   lives and   for    many   of   us,   finding   time   to   ponder   and   reflect   on   what   we   want   from   life   seems   a   waste   of   our   time or   simply a   DISTRACTION   from  the   other   101   things   we   have   on   our   lists.    But   if   you're   not   clear   on   what   you   want   it's   impossible to   have   direction  -  we   end    up   going   wherever   life   takes   us.    We   could   end   up   anywhere   or   everywhere.    Not   knowing   what   we want   also   makes   it   hard   to   say   "NO"   to   others.    How   can   we   PRIORITIZE   ourselves   when   we   have   nothing   to   work   towards for   ourselves?    We   have   no   REASON   to   say   "NO."    Having   goals   gives   us   purpose   in   life.    When   we   know   what   we   want,   we   can   get focused   and  ask   ourselves,  "Does   this   move   me    Toward   my   goals   or   away   from   them?"    If   you   don't   know   what   you   want,   you'll end   up   with   what   you   get!   So   let's  get s  tarted.
