To aspire is to have a strong ambition to achieve something you dream, desire, hope for, wish or yearn. It’s always a good time to check where you are and where you are aiming to go; to make sure you are taking the right actions to get you there. If not, there’s no telling where you’ll end up. After all, it’s you who get to design your life the way you want it to be.

Every single thing you do is in some way setting things up for your future, intentional or not. So, why not take the time to determine what you do want for yourself and your life, and set in motion to watch it happen.

Some questions to help you ponder include:

• Who do you aspire to be? Think of some of the qualities or characteristics you admire in others and would like for yourself; or a strength you would like to acquire. List them.
• What do you aspire to do? Can you see yourself making some great accomplishment that would amaze even you? What would that be? Allow yourself to dream big.
• What do you aspire to have as a result of the actions you take? Hopefully you’re not doing what you do just for the sake of doing. What are you seeking? What do you want to happen as a result of what you do? Keep this in mind whenever you’re doing anything. Stay focused on what it is you want to have in the end.
• How do you want to feel as a result of these aspirations? Are you feeling a sense of joy or accomplishment? Do you take pride in what you have done? That’s the feeling you want to have stay before you and continue to attract more of the same. Meditate on and enjoy this wonderful feeling.

I whole heartedly agree with the late Zig Ziglar, who said “You gotta be before you can do, you gotta do before you can have.” It’s so true. Put yourself in the position of being. Walk totally in who you are.

For it is in this position that you will attract all that is due you. Now go out there and dare to achieve your heart’s desire! I’m rooting for you!
