You do believe goals work, don’t you? Of course you do! But, have you ever wondered what makes goals work?

#1 - The Focus Factor
Goals work simply because with a clearly defined target, we can focus our energies. The human mind has the absolute ability to accomplish most anything it sets out to achieve. However, without clearly defined targets, that capacity is unfocussed and extremely diluted.

Goals work to focus our energies just as a magnifying glass can capture sunlight and turn it into the energy to burn.

Anyone who has played with a small magnifying glass knows it can focus enough energy to burn through paper, grass and even human skin.

#2 -The Visualization Factor
Crystal-Clear Goals allow us to utilize visualization, unleashing powers significantly greater than that of goal-setting alone.

The unconscious mind cannot discern the difference between an actual experience and one that has been vividly imagined or dreamed about. However our conscious mind certainly can. This is the discerning part of our mind, the part with all the mind-numbing judgments about people (including ourselves!), the part that keeps many reduced to playing small, staying broke and having a poverty mindset. However the visualized event is very powerful and seen and felt as though it is really happening now. This experiential seeing, feeling and knowing creates an instant sense of confidence.

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it;
if you can dream it, you can become it.”
– William Arthur Ward

Science Daily (Feb. 19, 2008) — “Scientists at UCL (University College London) have found the link between what we expect to see, and what our brain tells us we actually saw. The study reveals that the context surrounding what we see is all important — sometimes overriding the evidence gathered by our eyes and even causing us to imagine things which aren’t really there.”

#3 -The Belief Factor
In a 2004 Masters Golf Tournament, Phil Mickelson was trailing by three strokes with only six holes to play. He had to sink this very difficult putt to give him a chance to win. In his words, Phil “kept seeing and believing that things would work out for him that day.” And they did. He sank the putt, birdied another and then sank an improbable 20-footer on the 18th to win by one stroke. This victory-causing belief was not a function of experience. Mickelson had the undesirable distinction of playing in 48 major tournaments and never winning any of them! He was known for being the best golfer in the world never to have won a Major.

How can you learn, like Phil Mickelson, to believe in something that has never actually happened for you?

Visualization is what creates the breakthrough!

Success Formula = FOCUS – VISUALIZATION - BELIEF

Your Assignment This Week:

Imagine you are achieving a goal and celebrating how it feels.

Imagine yourself doing this 30 times a day over the next 7-day period. To your conscious mind, you have just imagined something that “might never happen.” But to the part of you that inspires miracles, it just did happen – over 200 times! When the pressure is on for you to perform, it is the belief within you that will be summoned to act or attract this into existence. And after experiencing success 200 times, that part of you will believe.

Your head may not believe it - but your body, heart and mind will and your reality will rearrange itself accordingly.

To your abundant success!
