Over the years I have worked with many people and the one thing the biggest factors separates people who achieve results and people who don’t is goal setting.
A few years ago I used to think goal setting was just fancy talk people in seminars would talk about, but after reading books such as Psycho-Cybernetics, Leading The Field and Think And grow Rich I began using some of their techniques – and within a short amount of time my life began to change for the better.
If you don’t have clearly defined goals you have nothing for your subconscious mind to work towards. And as Earl Nightingale put it…
“A person without a goal is like a ship without a rudder!”
Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between reality and fiction, so you can actually trick your subconscious mind into doing anything that you feed it, borrowing another quote from Earl Nightingale (I’m bit of a fan)…
“You will become what you THINK about!”
If you keep thinking about walking around looking toned and lean, guess what? This will become reality.
But…
Thinking is only a part of the process because you still need to take action!
However if you keep focusing on your end goal you’ll be thinking less about getting up at 5.30am to go to boot camp and find it easier to NOT cave into the temptation of eating junk food.
Instead you’ll have more focus on the end goal – and how good it will feel once you get there.
And once you do get there it will be well worth the effort!
Right now get a pen and paper and write down your goals, add a timeframe you’d like to achieve them by, now put it somewhere you will see everyday like on your desk or fridge.
By subconsciously seeing your goals everyday you’ll be feeding your subconscious mind with something to work towards, and when you have clearly defined goals anything can happen.
Till next time!
