Step 1: Find a vision for the future
If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else. It’s important to have a dream and a vision of where you’d like to be, even if it only involves a future without the problem or problems you are currently facing.

Step 2: Deal with and dissolve barriers to the preferred future
Get clear on what imaginary and real barriers you are facing that could stop you from reaching a better future or even trying to achieve such a future. Challenge the barriers by changing your actions or changing your thoughts.

Step 3: Make an action plan to reach the preferred future
Even if you aren’t sure you can achieve your goal, you can begin to take actions as if the future you envision will come true. Obviously, envisioning a future you want and starting to take actions toward it won’t always lead to results; but if you decide the future you hope for is unattainable and don’t take actions toward achieving that future, it is almost guaranteed that the better future won’t arrive.
