  What and why

  When there’s something you really want to do, you’re sure to get it done. Indeed, you’re likely to do it relatively quickly and effectively.

  The trick is zeroing in on what you really want to do. Also important, believing you can do it and convincing yourself to go ahead with it.

  So ask yourself, and be brutally honest. What do you truly desire to accomplish in the days that stretch ahead?

  Consider your answer, then ask another question, again demanding absolute honesty. What’s the reason you want it, and what’s the deeper reason behind that reason?

  Forge a solid connection between your specific objective and your deepest purpose. Do it sincerely, and you cannot help but find the means and the energy to get it done.

  You already know what can make significant improvements in your life and your world. Bring that knowledge to the surface, keep it connected with the truth of who you are, and make it happen.

  Desirable destination

  How do you energize yourself in the present? Take action that’s oriented toward improving the future.

  How do you sustain that elevated energy level? Continue focusing and acting to create a better future.

  Without the vision of a positive future, it’s difficult to get yourself to do anything. But when you’re immersed in the very real possibilities and in bringing them to life, you can develop unstoppable momentum.

  You don’t ever have to be stuck where you are. Because you can always be working and living in the service of your vision for the future.

  What’s even better is, there’s no limit to what that vision can be. So you’re free to craft the specific vision that’s most compelling to you.

  To successfully move forward, first clearly look forward and see all the details of where you most want to go. Create a powerful, desirable destination and you’ll have more than enough of what it takes to get there.

  It’s difficult to have “the vision of a positive future” these days. . .

  Seek clarity

  In realms of confusion much becomes hidden, intentionally and not. Clarity, on the other hand, strips away deception, forcing truth and reason to the forefront.

  When your purpose is clear, you make real and rapid progress. When your aims are clear, when your values unambiguous, enduring goodness springs to life.

  It can be all too tempting and easy to obscure what you think, and say, and do. But that just keeps you stuck where you are, or worse.

  Challenge yourself into clarity. Specifically what do you want, specifically why, to what real, detailed, meaningful end?

  Abstractions have their place. Yet you must live and breathe and thrive in the real world, constrained and supported by hard, fast truths.

  From yourself, from others, seek clarity, and offer clarity. Break through the noise, the deception, the confusion, and live true to your miraculous reality.

  Indeed.  I can't do the "think globally" part atm, but I can do the "act locally" part.
