     [1] Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success...Yet too many people fail to achieve their

goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason.

     [2] It's true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own, which

may make them feel upset. Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is just a

matter of the following three simple steps.

     [3] Firstly, you have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus

on one thing at a time. If you're not sure about where you want to go, you'd better think it over first and not

hurry to perform.

     [4] Secondly, ___________. This will be your map for getting from"where you are now" to "where you

want to go". You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you

want a better job, start with a skills assessment and maybe some extra training. Then you'll need to sell

yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new one.

     [5] Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get

there. Not to worry, though, books, biographies and such, can be of great help.

     [6] The third and final step is to carry it out. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your

road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.

     [7] Never give up the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do, do not lose heart before you have what you

desire in your hands. Never think that you can't turn your dream into a reality.
