Most people will NEVER get what they want in their lives simply because they don’t know “WHY” they want it!
Do you remember a time in your life where you set a goal for yourself that you were extremely excited about?
Perhaps you even got to the point of taking some action towards that goal?
But for some reason your drive, ambition, and energy withered away only to leave you looking back at that goal weeks later thinking what if … ?
Whenever we make a decision, two elements are present:
1. The decision at hand. Example: “I’m going to lose 10 pounds this month”
2. The reason WHY you want #1 and the emotional pressure of that “WHY”
Here’s the secret:
Whenever you make a decision, a commitment, or a goal, the single most important thing which determines whether you will SUCCEED or not is if you’ve created a BIG enough REASON for yourself to succeed.
eg “WHY is this really important to me? WHY MUST I have it?”
Because if you want to GUARANTEE your success you have to stack your reasons to a point of emotional overwhelm where there is NO ROOM for failure.
Decision: “I’m going to lose 10 lbs!”
Reason:
• Because I deserve to have a body I am proud of.
• Because I deserve to be lively, vital and CONFIDENT.
• I’m sick and tired of being stared at or worse ignored by other people when I go out in public.
• I deserve to be HAPPY. To feel attractive and sexy like I’m suppose to.
The most incredible service you could do for yourself is to clearly define WHY you want something and keep reminding yourself of that every single day.
Without having a powerful enough “WHY” reason for doing something, chances are your motivation will fade before you accomplish what you set out to do.
Step 1: Make a Decision
What is the CRYSTAL CLEAR result you want to achieve? Be specific.
Step 2: Find Out WHY You Want It!
Ask yourself these questions:
“Why is it absolutely IMPARATIVE that I MUST have this in my life?
“What will my life look like if I don’t have this in my life?”
“Are there any other people around me that will be affected by this decision? How much do I care about them? How will they suffer if I don’t do this?”
“What is the most painful thing about not having this in my life?”
“What is the most incredible and inspiring thing about this decision?”
“What will my life look like when I’ve created this change?”
Step 3: Use the Power of “Why” Every Day
Write your powerful “WHY” reasons on a piece of paper and stick that piece of paper somewhere where you can see it every day.
Remind yourself of the REASON you want what you’ve set out to get by feeling the powerful emotions you’ve written down as your “WHY” reasons.
Visualize and feel how important it is for you to do this, and why you won’t settle for anything less.
“Human beings are capable of incredible things. If we have a big enough REASON to do something, we’ll go to the greatest lengths to get it.” Tony Robbins |
