Be Clear and Honest

The angst I've felt when it comes to pushing both my creative and personal goals ahead has often come from one, sometimes two sources:

A. I'm not being clear on how to get what I want.

B. I'm not being honest about what I want.

You can be focused on a singular objective and eventually discover it wasn't what you wanted all along. Or, perhaps somewhere along the way what you valued changed. Worst of all, you may have been pursuing a certain life in order to make someone else happy.

This is where honesty comes in. It's the ability to take a hard look at what YOU really, really, really want. Once you've established that, you can begin the groundwork on getting clear on how to go about getting it.
