When, Not How


All of these thoughts recying through your head. How am I going to be successful? How am I going to get to where I need to be? How this, how that. You spend so much time thinking and stressing too much about all of the possibilities that could happen in your life. If you want something bad enough you wouldn't be asking yourself "how," you would be asking yourself "when." When am I going to be successful? When am I going to get to where I need to be? By asking yourself that, you know that what you want will happen, it's just a matter of working toward where you want to be because it's not a matter if "what if" anymore. It's the future you know you want, so the next time you think about your future, ask yourself "when?"
