When you have your heart set on something, and you know just what that something is, how likely do you think you are going to get it? I'd say the answer to that ranges from - "nothing will stop me" to "absolutely, no doubt in my mind"
 
A simple example perhaps - you're hungry, you need food and you know exactly what you want. Will anything else do? Of course not, and if you don't have it in the house, you will either get something else and feel cheated by having to succumb to "second best" or you will go out of your way to go and fetch it.
 
If only everything in life was as simple as deciding what you should have to eat at your next meal. But I'm sure you understand exactly what I mean.
 
So lets take a more complex example.
 
As you know I've been in England for a couple of weeks (yes, you've done nothing but talk about your trip to England Elle !!) - well bear with me because it's important. It was 12 years since I had last set foot on my home territory. 12 years of people, places and things to catch up with. How complicated was my diary for that time period? Answer = extremely. Everything was organised down to the last minute. I was not missing out on a single opportunity - unless fate decided otherwise. And it did on occasion - the children wanted to go on the London Eye - or the Eye Pod (for the capsules you ride in) as my mother termed it for the duration of the visit. Turns out the Eye Pod was not working for the 2 days we were in London - due to its annual maintenance. Did it slow us down? No, we simply moved up the rest of the day's activities and carried on regardless. Or take the fact that we couldn't get to Stonehenge on the way down to my sisters on the first Thursday due to a mess up at the funeral home, which made us late leaving home. Did we miss out on the opportunity completely? No, we just changed the day and went the following day on the way into London instead. Turns out we arrived just 15 minutes prior to closing - we could have said the money we paid to go around was not worth it for the 15 minutes....but we all knew that we would have felt cheated if we hadn't done it. We had a good excuse too, it was cold, wet and very windy - but we did not want to miss out on the experience.
 
Imagine if you were so close to reaching one of your goals and then you couldn't be bothered to get out of the car? How cheated would you feel then? How would you feel if you were so close you could "touch" it, but didn't?
 
Too many times I've given up on my dreams and goals because I couldn't be bothered to metaphorically get out of the car. Well not any more. One thing that recent events have taught me is this. You have to grab every dream and every goal with both hands and vow never to let go of them until you can touch them, feel them, experience the buzz of having done it, of saying - guess what guys...imagine the looks on our faces after we had gotten cold and wet as a result of visit Stonehenge!! were they dull and lifeless or did the smiles outweigh the cold and damp?
 
Grab your dreams, they're easy to find, they've been sitting on your shoulder whispering in your ear for years, the hard bit will be to decide which one to go for first.
