There are 3 psychological concepts you must understand to start getting what you want:
- Attention 👀
- Motivation 🔥
- Desire 😍

Attention 👀
The first concept is attention.
Where you place your focus.
Your focus is something you must train.
Most people are very lazy with their focus, and their mind becomes like a garden filled with weeds.

Most people are very lazy with their focus, and their mind becomes like a garden filled with weeds.
You can and must train your mind to focus on the things you desire.
The challenge is that we spend much more of our time focusing on what we’re afraid of.
You need to be very specific in what you want.
You must “begin with the end in mind,” as @StephenRCovey put it.

Motivation 🔥
Psychologists have divided our motivation to act into two categories:
"Approach-orientation" or "Avoid-orientation".
When you’re approach-oriented, you’re moving yourself toward what you want.
You’re moving proactively toward a desired outcome.

When you’re approach-oriented, you’re moving yourself toward what you want.
You’re moving proactively toward a desired outcome.
When you’re avoid-oriented you’re on the defensive.
Avoiding what you don’t want is incredibly important. But if that’s mostly what you’re spending your time doing — avoiding problems, avoiding failures, avoiding loss, then you won’t be powerfully creating the outcomes you want.

Rather than avoiding failure, u have to go all-in on what u actually want.
If you’re constantly thinking about all the things that could go wrong, you’re muddling ur pathway toward ur true vision.
When u get committed to what u truly want, and stop living with fear u can fly.

Desire 😍
If you want something enough to get it, you have to really want it.
If you’re not getting what you want, then maybe you don’t want it bad enough?
Your commitment is a reflection of your desire.
If you REALLY want something, then you’ll commit to that thing.

You’ll go get it.
You’ll find a way.
In order to do so, you’ll need to make your true goal a fundamental aspect of your identity.
@JamesClear describes this in Atomic Habits, saying that when trying to build a habit, it’s much better to start with your identity.

When you start with identity, then you’re not dealing with willpower as much.
Willpower is about fighting against something you don’t want.
Identity is about aligning your behavior with who you already are.
BEING > DOING > HAVING.
