5 Ways to Find Your Focus

You would like to begin the journey to your dreams, but you aren't sure how to get there. Here are 5 ways to find your focus and create a vehicle that will carry you where you want to go.

1. Start with what you have.
You have to begin somewhere and the sooner, the better so you need to start where you're at. What do you find interesting? What skills can you share or put to use? What resources are available to you right now?
I went on a road trip with a friend and all we knew when we left is where we wanted to end up and that we would be going in my car. Then we set a date and set out. Along the way we picked up free maps at visitor centers as we crossed borders and state lines. The scope of the maps were limited mainly to the sate we picked them up in, they would always get us over the next border and to the next map. We didn't know where we would be camping, but we always found a place.

2. Where were your previous successes?
Think of times in your life that you felt you were getting good results. You were doing something that people were attracted to. Your Creative Soul began as a very successful 5 week course on intuitive creativity.

3. What do you need to learn?
The saying goes "We teach what we need to learn." What do you most want to learn in life? What would you like to prove to yourself? Now find a way to communicate those lessons. Teachers don't always know the answers but they best suited to find the answers.

4. When does time disappear?
Think about this, you may feel that you are wasting your time when you do this activity, so you discount it. Now change your perception of it. Think of it as valuable work time. Decide that activity is creating abundance in your life, perhaps earning you cash. I lose entire days while I am learning about and creating blogs. Initially I would get into a state of panic when I returned from "the zone", feeling I had wasted my day. Now I realize that blogging is my work and my time invested is productive.

5. What do people seem to want from you?
Do others ask for your advice in a certain area or request you to create something for them? How can you give that to others in a way that combines all 5 points?

Now get started in some small manageable way.
