The secret of setting, reaching and surpassing your goals, is to set in place some tools and then to APPLY what you have learned. Once you have these tools, you will be blown away by how changing small things in small ways will dramatically improve your world..Once you are ARMED with the WHAT WHY and HOW...then you can take control of your life..
You may have heard the story of the "JUMPING FLEAS"!!..
Over a number of years,jumping flea trainers observed the strange yet PREDICTABLE habits of jumping fleas. In order to train them they would put them in a plastic see through box with a cardboard lid. The fleas would jump and hit the lid over and over..as the trainers watched them jump and hit the lid something interesting happened..the fleas continued to jump but not quite high enough to hurt theselves against the lid. However, the interesting part was that when the trainers took the lid off completely, the fleas kept jumping to the exact same height!!!!! They didn't jump any higher or even TRY to jump out of the box!
So why don't they jump to freedom? They won't because they CANT'T! This is because they have CONDITIONED themselves to jump only to the level where the lid USED to be!!
The point of this story? Well as human beings we tend to do the same thing! When trying to reach a specific goal we sometimes fail on our first, second and even our third attempt. This is because, just like the fleas, we mentally RESTRICT ourselves from reaching our potential because we have created a self-imposed ceiling! Just like the fleas,we think we can't jump any higher because we think we have reached our limit!
Sooo.... even though you may not have set, achieved and sustained a certain goal before please don't be AFRAID to try again now! If you positively apply your own POSITIVE goal making habits you WILL reach your goals...
DECIDE what goal YOU are going to INTEND...
WRITE it down...by declaring AN INTENTION
Sign It...
Get someone to WITNESS it..
By making a COMMITMENT and WRITING it down and then SHARING it with someone and then BOTH of you SIGNING it, then you are making A BOLD DECLARATION to YOURSELF to HONOUR that commitment!
And as a TEST to Your Comittment?
STAND in front of the MIRROR. Read your statement of intent out LOUD... WITH PASSION.....Trust me... you will feel fantastic and MOTIVATED.
To recap..
1. COMMIT..
2..COMMIT TO SOMEWHONE CLOSE TO YOU - A SPOUSE OR A CLOSE FRIEND or YOUR COACH
3 Get THEM to be A WITNESS..
4.Use the tools of someone who has achieved similar goals of what you want to achieve
And finally, to steal the words of the famous Nike Catch phrase..
5..JUST DO IT....
