L
et’s talk about what you really
want; not what you think you
can have, not what someone
else wants for you, but what
you really want!
We are not talking about little goals
either; we are talking about BIG goals,
those dreams and fantasies that you
would love to see manifest. Goals like
these force you to grow, bring order
and focus to your mind, and allow you
to accomplish results well beyond the
next logical step. They are a precursor
to a quantum leap and result in greater
health, wealth and vitality. These goals
are not outside of you; you do not have
to figure them out. They are already
within you waiting for you to become
aware of them.
Here are five steps for you to work
through if you want to stop merely
existing through life and start creating
the results s that you truly desire. If any
single step is overlooked or skipped, it
will be impossible for you to break free
and create a more meaningful life.
1. Decide what you want.
It is critically important to have a
crystal clear image of what you want
to accomplish, along with a specific
timeframe for its attainment. Most
people ignore their true wants and
desires in exchange for a mediocre life
where they simply exist. If more money
is your goal, be precise about exactly
how much you want, by what date you
want it and for what purpose. Without
clarity you’ll be forever unsteady on your
feet with a blurred destination.

2. Take a close look at
where you are now.
Most people believe that behaviour is
the cause of their results. However,
the primary cause is their paradigm.
Paradigms are what control your
habitual behaviour; that being the
things that you unconsciously do
every single day. Your paradigm
influences your ability to earn money,
your use of time, relationships,
productivity, effectiveness, perception
and what you believe you are capable
of. Ultimately this forms a self-
image that you will never go beyond
or outperform, unless you create a
paradigm shift to do so. Ask yourself,
does your life reflect what you really
want?
3. Make a committed
decision.
When you are interested in
accomplishing your goals, you will
do what’s convenient. When you are
committed, you will do whatever
it takes. By making a committed
decision you focus in on your goal
and refuse to allow any external
circumstances to steer you off course.
You make no excuses and accept
nothing but the result that you seek.
4. Take inspired action.
In order to speed up the attainment of
your goals, you must first calm down.
It is not what you do that counts, but
how you do it. Every day write six
goal achieving activities down and
complete them one by one before the
day ends. It helps to create effective
direction when seeking goals. What
are six things you can do today to
move you towards your goal?
5. Set up your
accountability and
support network.
You must surround yourself with
people who are creative, upbeat and
enthusiastic about life. 97% of the
population allow their conditions
and circumstances to dictate their
success. Those who really make it
happen in life are led from within
and do not permit others to impede
their progress. Take a look at the
five people you spend the most time
with. Are they where you want to
be? Do they earn equal or more than
you? Would you want your kids to
grow up and be just like them? Your
environment has more influence over
the person you will become than the
genetics you were born with. Decide
on who is going to be in your inner
circle, then get on the phone and ask
for help. Great people will always help
if you are willing to ask.
Regardless of what you have
accomplished up until this point, it
is still nothing compared to where
you can go. Set a goal that is worthy
of your time, make a committed
decision and then be willing to grow
into the person who would naturally
accomplish such a thing. You already
have everything you need, what may
have been missing is your committed
decision to DO IT.
