Many people chase success as if it were a thing to find, like a lost object. We ask ourselves, “What should I do? Where should I go? How does this work?” Over time, this constant questioning makes us tired of our own lives. We drift through our days, especially on weekends or days off. We wake up late, scroll through social media, and end up doing very little. We feel indecisive, stuck, and unsure about what to do next.

But the real trick is knowing where you want to go and being decisive about it. When you wake up in the morning, your mind is fresh and clear—there’s no mental clutter yet. This is the best time to focus on what matters most to you. Social media and relaxation can come later. Use your best energy for your most important goals.

As the day goes on, your mind fills up with distractions and requests from others. This mental clutter is like a glass of muddy water—you can’t see through it. When you don’t have a clear direction, it’s like asking a taxi driver to take you “anywhere but the ocean.” The driver won’t know where to go, and neither will you. If you don’t know your destination, you’ll end up nowhere, stuck in the same place.

But if you know exactly what you want to achieve, your progress will be much faster. You see the road ahead, and you know which way to go. That’s what I wish for you: to have a crystal-clear vision of your goals.

Start today by deciding what you want to accomplish in the next three months. It’s important to believe in your project and not constantly jump from one idea to another. Of course, you can adjust your approach within the same project, but if you keep switching from digital comics to animated films, to SaaS services, to online courses, to becoming a chef—you’ll never go deep enough to become an expert.

If you know what you want, and you invest a little in yourself every day, you will grow. This is the best way to become the person you want to be. Take small, regular actions. Every day, do a little more. This is how real progress happens.

Clarity is the difference between wandering in a fog and walking a straight road.

— Pierre

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.

— Lewis Carroll

When you apply these ideas, you’ll notice a change right away. Your days will become clearer, and you’ll know exactly what to do. The muddy glass will turn into crystal, and you’ll see your path. Even if you’ve tried many courses or workshops before, I believe these ideas will help you, because they come from real experience and deep thought.
