I have heard many ways of going about getting what I want, but here is what I have found works best. Implementing plans are essential, but timing is crucial. Plans often tend to have an expected outcome; but, we must first be able to feel when the time is right to implement the plan in order to ensure that the expected outcome will be the result. Also, it is essential to keep a picture of the desired outcome in our minds before we carry out the plan, while we are executing it, and after the plan is implemented. We must never lose faith in the outcome (that is, unless it explicitly fails because of some unforeseen external force). For example, buying tickets to a concert and planning to go with a crush can be very exciting for weeks leading up to the event. However, in the event that said crush's grandma gets sick, has to go to the hospital, and get surgery, there is clearly an external force signaling that the time is not right for us to go on this date. Without losing faith that the show would still be great fun, though, it is possible to have an even better time than expected and to meet a person that may end up being better for me than my original date. I cannot say with absolute certainty that either guy is right for me in the long-run, but I do know that I had fun in the short-run because of my long-run goal that I created before the concert in which I envisioned having tons of fun. If I always keep the future in my mind while I enjoy the present, there will be many more presents to come in my future.
Just think about what it is that you want and then wait for it to happen. You will know when the right time has come, and you will be happy about the results of experiences in your life.
