How to Get What You Want in Life – In Just 5 Simple Steps

 

We all want something more out of life.

Maybe it's more freedom, more confidence, a dream job, deeper relationships, or just a sense of peace that sticks. 

The truth is — getting what you want isn't about luck, or waiting for the “right time.” It’s about clarity, mindset, and consistent action.

In this particular post, I am going to break it down — no fluff, no overhype. 

Just real talk about how to figure out what you truly want, and how to actually make it happen, in Just 5 Simple Steps. 

If you're ready to stop drifting and start living with direction, Keep reading.

Get What you want in Life in just 5 Steps

📌 Step 1: Figure Out What You Actually Need (Not Just What Sounds Cool)

The “Scream-At-Your-Kitchen-Wall” Test

Ever stood in front of your fridge at 2 a.m., eyes wide, screaming, “I need cheddar-flavored Pringles!”? That’s craving, not need. 

Step one: pause. Grab a notepad and write:

  • “What do I actually need?”
  • “What desire is behind this want?”

Maybe it’s not some fancy chips—it’s comfort, or energy, or 5 seconds of snacking joy before going back to bed. Dig deeper.

YOU CAN TRY THIS:

  • Write 3 desires (“I need new sneakers!”)
  • Ask the “Why?” behind it three times:

1.      “Why? Because my feet hurt.”

2.     “Why? Because my shoes are wrecked.”

3.     “Why? Because I’m walking 10k steps a day.”

RESULT: you need comfortable walking shoes—not the flashiest kicks for IG flexing. See?....Huge difference.

🧠 Step 2: Understand Your Inner Resistance (and Befriend It)

Meet Mike—Your inner Resistance  

Imagine a little man named Mike who shows up every time you try something new. Mike says things like:

  • “Why do you bother?”
  • “That yoga mat is dusty, Rest for today.”
  • “Stop , You’ll mess it all up.”

He’s obnoxious, but he’s not all bad—he wants to keep you comfortable and safe.

How to Deal with Mike:

  • First Talk Back.... “Mike, I appreciate your help, but…” ... Slaps sense into yourself
  • 2nd  Schedule Tiny Steps, so that future you won’t have to listen him any more.
  • Then, Reward Yourself.. may be a cookies or a victory dance, just positive vibe.

This is your inner therapy—and the start of you becoming the boss of your own mind.

🎯 Step 3: Set Goals That Don't Suck (And Actually Work)

The “SMART + Fun” Approach

  • Specific — “Write 300 words a day” beats “Start writing.”
  • Measurable — Track it with a checklist.
  • Achievable — 300 words? Doable. 3,000? Depressing.
  • Relevant — Align it with your dreams.
  • Time-based — 30 days max.
  • Fig 4 -  Build a System

⚙️ Step 4: Build Tiny Systems That Work Like Magic

Remember, Systems are greater than Goals

A goal without a system is a cupcake without frosting—sweet intentions, flat results.

Examples:

  • Need healthier eating? Try prepping a breakfast chia jar every Sunday.
  • Want to read more? Keep a book by the bed + read 5 pages nightly.
  • Need $500 extra a month? Automate savings: “Move $100 into savings every Monday.”

These are invisible gears that keep things running—even when motivation jets away.

celebrate small wins, goal achieveing and more manifestation
Fig 5 Celebrating Small Wins

🙌 Step 5: Celebrate Like You Just Won Olympic Gold

The “Yes, You Did Great” Ritual

We’re all chasing goals. But if you don’t celebrate, life feels like a treadmill stuck on one speed (and probably dusty).

Celebration Ideas:

  • Write it on your calendar: “I wrote 300 words ✅”
  • Treat yourself: ice cream, massage, or a 30‑minute TV escape.
  • Show & tell: brag to your friend or post about it.
  • Reflect: “Hey brain, you freakin’ rocked it today.”

Repeat often. Your brain loves praise more than a cat loves cardboard boxes.

so, let me summarize all to you 

1.      **Clarify Clarity, Clarity ...the real need

2.     Befriend (and outsmart) inner resistance

3.     Set smart, fun goals

4.    Build small, powerful systems

5.    Celebrate all your steps forward

You’re not a failure for having a messy plan. You’re a human figuring things out.

So, embrace the process, laugh at the hiccups, and remember: today’s small step equals tomorrow’s wins.
