Be specific

Achievement is not generic. In order to achieve, you must achieve something specific.

If you seek true fulfillment, you have to precisely define what that fulfillment looks like. Being successful means being successful in some particular endeavor.

Instead of just wishing for a better life or wishing for a more pleasant situation, be specific. An essential part of getting what you desire is clearly expressing what you desire.

To make your dreams real, give them rich and compelling details. Be specific, to such a degree that you can literally touch those dreams from where you are.

Life’s abundance is infinitely flexible and malleable. Your job is to shape that abundance into something truly meaningful.

There is no shortage of energy and raw material for you to work with. Be specific about what you desire, and bring those desires to life.
