"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want."

Ben Stein

We often go through life on a wish and a prayer.  We hope things turn out right.  We go with the flow and let life take us wherever it goes.

Ben Stein said, "The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want." Too often we never really make a decision as to what we would really like.  We buy a house in our home town without thinking about where we would truly like to live.  We get a job that our parents arranged, or go to school, get married or just settle for whatever life throws our way.

Think of all the things that just happened in your life. Now think of all of the things you specifically targeted and went after.  How much more fulfilling life could be if you would only decide what you want.

Make plans to live in the city of your choice in the house of your dreams.  Plan and take the steps necessary to have the job and income you would really like to have. The key is simply, "Decide what you want".
