One Secret Of Setting Goals That Will Make You An Unstoppable Achiever Of Maximum Success
I'm sure you've heard it's important to set goals.
Otherwise you'd float through life and bounce around like a ping pong ball in a hurricane.
Not much direction.
And I'm also sure that you've heard about all those studies that have shown people who set goals tend to make a lot more money than those who don't.
(You DO want to make a lot more money, don't you?) And perhaps you've heard about how to set a goal according to the "well-formed" parameters of NLP.
That goals have to be specific, time depending, measurable and observable, and they have to be something that you TRULY want.
It's that last part that gets most people tripped up.
Usually without really knowing about it.
See, when set a goal, there's a lot going on in our minds.
It's hard to determine if we're really setting the goal for ourselves or for other people.
Say you want to lose weight.
You even go so far as figure out how much you want to lose, and choose a reasonable time in which to lose it.
But why do you want to lose weight? Is being slimmer your REAL goal? If you were on an island, all by yourself, and you didn't to worry about anything, would you still want to lose weight? If you KNEW that NOBODY would ever judge you based on your appearance, and your doctor said that carrying around and extra ten or twenty pounds wasn't such a big deal, would you STILL want to lose weight? What if you were two days into your diet, and you met an incredibly attractive person, who was TOTALLY into you, just the way you were, and they went even so far as to say your EXACT body size and shape is what turned them on so much? Would you STILL want to lose weight? Consider these next time your choosing a goal to achieve.
Run through these "hypothetical" questions in your mind.
The secret of goal setting is in the building.
The reason so many of us fail at our goals is that we don't choose them correctly.
But when you take the time to figure out what you really want, not what you think what you want based on the input from others, you'll truly be on fire.
After all, who's life is it anyhow? Theirs or yours? So when you choose your goals, forget about them.
Long enough to choose what you really want, so when you go after it, you will relentlessly pursue it until you make it come true.
