What do you want?

Let’s say that you want to go on a trip to Hawaii.  So you boot up your computer, Google “Hawaii,” and pretty soon you’re on a virtual trip to Hawaii. You’re looking at two-dimensional, pixel pictures of the place called “Paradise.”

But what do you miss on your virtual trip? You miss smelling the harvesting of pineapples and the rainforest orchids. You miss hearing the birds sing and the surf crash against the lava rock coastline.  You miss seeing in three dimensions miles and miles from atop a volcano-created mountain that resembles a moonscape.  You miss tasting all the delicacies of a luau and dancing to the drummer’s beat.

If you settle for the virtual in life, you may be more in love with an idea than you are committed to achieving it, to making it happen. If you want something in life, first you seek it—doing whatever it takes to go after your prize.  

That’s when you find it. When you seek it, you find it.

Give your attention to what you want. Then intend to find it. Act until you do and watch as you achieve the positive at work today.
