Coffee With Cassandra
Fresh brewed motivation to start your week off right

Welcome to Coffee With Cassandra, a new column here at City Chick Mag. A city chick knows that fabulousity is not just a lifestyle. It’s an extension of who we are. And if we want to achieve fabulousity at its fullest, we’ve got to put in the work to raise the quality of our thoughts, choices and habits. This is where I come in.

Each week, I’ll offer you a slice of wisdom to help you take steps towards your success and break through the barriers in your life. Whether you want to put your career on the fast track, develop million dollar habits, build better relationships, think and act more positively or get real about your stress, mess and drama, through this column I will serve as your online empowerment coach encouraging you to own your power and live your best life. This week I’m asking you to think about what it is you really want out of life so that you can begin to make it happen. Here goes:

What Do You Want Out of Life?

Deciding what you want is the single most important thing that you can do to live the life you desire, but most people get stuck at this first crucial stage because they cannot see how the life they want is possible.

It’s important to keep in mind that people who are often no more talented or smarter than you, but who are clear about what they want and go after their dreams with persistent tenacity usually end up getting the things they want out of life. Why? Because, they make up their minds to become unstoppable, to see the opportunity in every situation, to maneuver around the obstacles that come their way and to dedicate their time, energy and resources to the achievement of their goals.

So my question for you is: What do you want out of life? Be as clear and specific here as possible. Write it down. Keep this list handy as a reminder of the goals and dreams that you intend to accomplish. Then, go after your dreams with everything you’ve got.

I hope I’ve gotten you thinking. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate. But if you could take a little time over the next few days to identify what you want out of life, you will be one step closer to living the life that you desire.
