Do you know–with clarity–what you want?

So often, people want a magic formula or 3 easy steps. But nothing works, until you want it enough to do what it takes. That IS the magic formula.

What has to happen for you to want it enough to go for it?

It helps to believe in the possibility that your effort will pay off. But you also have to believe that going for it is its own reward, that success isn’t determined by the result.

The satisfaction lies in being true to yourself. And you can only be true to yourself if you know who you are. Once you truly tune into you, you KNOW what you want–you have clarity–and going for it is no longer an option. You just do it!

That’s what happened for me when I quit my corporate job in 1998 to write full time. I KNEW what I wanted; and I knew the only way to fail was not to try.
