The “Sweet Spot” to Achieving Your Goals
There are not too many people who would actually decide they don’t want to achieve their goals and have a better life. Most people would at least lie to themselves and believe that is the case. So why don’t more people achieve prosperity?
Motivating Yourself
The human animal has two basic psychological pathways: We run towards things we want, and run away from things we fear. Because motivation only happens when you have a “why,” it’s worth spending some time thinking about how that process unfolds.
How Attention Helps Achieve Your Goals
Think back to the example of James Allen in As a Man Thinketh. He equated the mind with a garden plot. You can just let it happen. The wind blows in seeds and you have a bunch of wild weeds. Or you consciously cultivate the crop, and you grow flowers or vegetables.
Of course your mind is the same way. But the stakes are a whole lot higher…
Habits that Transform Your Life
We like to think we create our future. But you don’t really create your future. You create your daily habits – and then those habits actually create your future.
The Terror and the Test
Is it possible that you too, are cowed by your potential greatness?
The odds this may be the case are probably higher than you think. The simple fact that you come to this blog regularly, and consciously work on yourself is a strong indicator of your intent and potential.
The Shocking Truth about Positive People
It’s great to do self-development work and get your mindset in a positive place. But that won’t always be the case. Sometimes your mindset isn’t going to support the long-term goals you want to achieve, or the person you wish to become.
Are You Winning at Losing?
Because the truth is, you have manifested exactly the life you envisioned. Really. Yes I mean that, even if your current life is one of losing. Even if your current life is one of heartbreak and misery. Because you become what you most think about.
Blowing Up Negative Beliefs
When you simply let thoughts “happen,” you fall victim to the thousands of negative memes and limiting beliefs circulating through the datasphere at any given time.
When you become the thinker of the thought – meaning being mindful and choosing what you think about – you are able to build a positive life and move daily toward your dreams.
There Is Not Always a Shortcut
The things that are really worth doing, usually don’t have a shortcut. If you want a strong marriage, it tales a lot of work. If you want to climb Mount Everest, you have to start at the bottom and climb all the way up one side. Having a helicopter drop you off on the summit will not give you the same sense of accomplishment.
Transformation is Usually Either/Or
Transformation is a continuous incremental process. Most of what you do for daily habits doesn’t keep you in a static location. Usually you’re moving closer to your goals, or further away from them. So it comes down to whether you’re willing to pay the price for what you desire.
