I’ll take you through a thought-provoking journey, highlighting the essential interplay between clarity and confidence, and how they fuel motivation and intentional action. I share practical questions to ask yourself to gain that clarity. Plus, I give you a compelling example of how visualizing your dreams in detail can open up new possibilities and make your goals more attainable.

Process – 3 Questions to Ask Yourself
- What do YOU want? Not what do you think you can get - because we’ve been so conditioned to have real, attainable goals – but you determine if they are attainable through focused action.
- Why is this important? This is the thought behind the goal, which then helps to solidify the belief that it is possible to achieve and helps you create a clear plan of action.
- What will achieving this goal allow me to do, feel, and have? It is never the thing that you want, it’s what that thing means for you. This is where you tap into the emotions that achieving your goals means because this is what makes your goal more believable. The more senses you can activate when you think of the goal the more you relate to it, which makes it more realistic and therefore achievable. This also opens your mind to the infinite field of possibilities, which is the space in which your goal can become even better than what you had envisioned.
Key Takeaways
- Clarity vs. Confidence: Clarity and confidence are intrinsically linked. Without clarity on what you want, your confidence to achieve it will wane, creating a cycle that hinders progress.
- The Power of Vision: To gain true clarity, you must envision your desires with detail, including the emotions and experiences associated with them.
- Focus on the What and Why: Forget about figuring out the "how" initially. Concentrate on what you truly want and why you want it. This foundational clarity fuels intention and leads to action.
