Go For What You WANT Without Reservations

In today’s article I am going to share with you 3 principles for going for what you want without reservations – and getting it. You can find the story I refer to in my illustrations in 2 Kings 2:1-11.

Principle 1: Decide what you want
This is very important. Even if you do not tell it to anyone, be sure that you know what it is that you want. Elisha wanted to be Elisha’s successor and was able to articulate it very clearly.

Principle 2: Position yourself to get what you want
Run after what you want; gather the resources, find the people, learn the skill, create the time, do whatever it takes for you to get what you want. Elisha was ready to follow Elijah wherever he was going because he knew that that was the only way that he could get the mantle of leadership that was on Elijah.

Principle 3: Ignore the voices…
… no matter how loud they become. There are voices of discouragement everywhere. You must choose to ignore these voices and go for what you want anyway. Elijah repeatedly instructed Elisha to stay but he followed him. The other prophets could have disrupted his attention but he answered them, “Do not speak of it.”

I sincerely believe that everything that everything that you may ever want is within your reach. Decide what you want, position yourself to get what you want and ignore the voices. Elisha followed these steps and got what he wanted. You, too, can get anything that you may ever want by followingthese steps.
