A question I have asked myself fairly recently, and one I would highly recommend you ask yourself, is the following:
"What beliefs and habits would a person who -INSERT GOAL HERE- have?"
For example, what beliefs and habits would an olympic athlete have? Well, likely they'd have a high level of self discipline, motivation, passion, drive, focus, determination and habitual behaviors designed to increase all of those attributes, as well as a high time priority for their craft.
What beliefs and habits would a person who makes twenty grand a month have?
See how it works?
You can then redefine yourself very easily. Often times a minor tweak here 'n there will vastly alter one's destiny.
If you recall the post I did a few days ago on C3GUS priorities, that's an excellent example. Say you valued Certainty and Love and Connection in your life, while someone else valued Love and Connection and Certainty in theirs.
Would they have different lives? You better believe it.
One loves and connects with the world, and makes money. The other, when they are without money, doesn't love & connect with the world. You see how even a small priority shift opens doors where previously they might have been closed?
Anyhoozle, my own "ideal self alignment" has been, and will continue to be an ongoing project, and, I think reflection on such ideal selves can really help one focus one's drive, heighten one's passion, and help one fully embrace life.
Taking life by the horns is easy if you've got a big enough WHY!
