What you need first is to have a strong desire.

A desire is like a fire! Not like a little bit of flame you have to stir to get some heat going. No, you need a strong passion; you must really want what you are trying to achieve! If you think you want something badly, but it always seems to be out of reach, it is because your desire to achieve is not strong! You must really feel the desire to have it in your bones, your flesh, and your heart. The desire is the starting point because, without passion, nothing will happen.  Think of it as a fire; without oxygen, it will just suffocate.

Now you need to set goals

Why? To know where to go! Without goals, your desire will get you nowhere, and you will turn around in circles like a dog who runs after his tail. A goal gives you a reason, a purpose. The word goal means to have a Destination and a way to get there! Your goal is your direction where your desire will take you. If you can see what you want with your mind’s eye, you will have it. So the more details you see, the more concrete your mental image is, and the more likely you will get precisely what you desire to achieve! Goals get your energy running. Goals generate the necessary activity to bring you towards realizing your dream. A good goal is a statement of what you want, in a positive, clear, concrete way and with emotion (remember fire! Without emotion, without fire, no outcome!). Your goal should be written down to give it more energy and be expressed in the present time. You write your goal down as if you got it already. And start to act as if you were already there! Read it every day until it’s accomplished. 

You must believe in yourself

You must honestly be conscious that you are worthy of having what you desire and that you can reach it, that you have or can acquire everything you need to realize your dream. Yes, you can! Maybe you do not know for now how to get there but believe that you will learn step by step how to do it and that you will be guided on your way by coincidences and synchronicity.

Positive thinking!

A strong desire, a clear positive goal, a strong belief in yourself, what else does it need to make your dreams come true? Positive thinking! The most beautiful dream, the strongest desire, and the most explicit goal will bring you nowhere if you destroy yourself with a negative belief system. If you have this lousy habit of seeing everything as doom, fearing the worst, and expecting bad things to happen, this mindset will bring you what you ask for: destruction, fear, inaccurate. A positive attitude lifts you to the level of universal creation, and the universe will conspire with you to give you what you desire.

Consistency

Yes, it is easy to start things. It is easy to quit. But it takes consistency to stay on your road. Did you ever taste the success that lies in the fact that you became an expert in something after years of practicing the same thing? With your eyes closed, you can answer any question on the subject and produce almost any result you want? You are an expert now because you did the same thing hundreds of times, over and over again. And now you know! What Success! Consistency, not giving up, always going on in the same direction, brings you success at last. Why? Because you don’t need to think and search anymore on your subject. It becomes a habit, and you have space accessible in your mind to learn new, more demanding stuff. Stay on your road; go on and on; every step will take you to more freedom, happiness, and mastery of your life!
