You may feel confident in your ability to complete your professional projects, which could make it easier for you to ask for what you want today. This sense of self-assurance can be the driving force for you to examine what you truly desire in your career and how to get it. Exploring the skills you have and how you are able to best utilize them may be a way for you to realize your dreams more fully today. Perhaps you can first think of your overall goals and then make a list of the talents you know contribute positively to others in your field. For each item on your list, you might ask yourself, "How can I use this skill to its fullest?" Then take a few minutes to silently reflect on this and note any thoughts that come to your mind. Thinking about your potential for growth and success in this way could help you see the relationship between your desire, ability, and hopes.

Understanding the interplay between our skills and goals helps us confidently manifest our dreams. It is often not enough to go after an objective with only the end result in mind--when we do this we lose sight of our true purpose and can sometimes appear too assertive in our ambition. Once you recognize that your goals are within reach because of what you are able to accomplish today, your confidence will be something that is a positive contributor to your success and can enhance your dreams.
