Pain Is Your Friend

To get what you want, you must discover what's preventing you from taking action. Think of something you've avoided doing until the last minute. Isn't it true that you put whatever it is off simply to avoid the pain of the moment, only to experience even greater pain later on?

Take paying taxes for example. What happens on April 14? Our procrastination vanishes because we quickly change what we believe (associate in our minds) will bring us pain or pleasure. Suddenly, not taking action is much more painful than just doing it.

In the future, instead of wondering, "How can I avoid doing this painful task?" ask yourself, "If I don't take action now, what will this ultimately cost me?"

Pain can be your friend if you use it effectively.

The Power of Clarity

Have you ever bought a new car, then started seeing it everywhere? Certainly it's always been around you, but you didn't notice until now. That's because a portion of our brain is responsible for screening out information except what's essential to our survival and success. So much that could help us achieve our dreams is never noticed or utilized simply because we haven't defined (taught our brain what's important!) our goals with clarity.
There is a part of our brains that becomes like a magnet, attracting any information or opportunities that can help us achieve our goals more rapidly. Tripping this powerful neurological switch can literally transform our lives in a matter of days or weeks! Have a great day!

The Secret of Goals

We all have goals, whether we know it or not. No matter what they are, they have a profound effect on our lives. Yet some of our goals, such as "I need to pay my lousy bills," lack any inspiration. The secret of unleashing your true power is setting goals that are exciting enough that they truly inspire your creativity and ignite your passion.
Today, conciously choose your goals. Brainstorm everything worth pursuing. Then pick a goal that excites you the most, something that will get you up early and keep you up late. Assign a deadline for achiewving it, and write a paragraph describing why you absolutely must attain it by then. Is it big enough to challenge you? to push you beyond your limits? to uncover your true potential? Have a great day!
