Believe in Your Goals
When you set a goal, do you believe you will reach it? I’m sure you at least hope you will… think you might… but do you truly, truly believe that it will happen?
There’s a phrase I’m sure you’ve heard of — “Fake it ’till you make it.” And that is exactly what you must do when you set a new goal. You need to talk the talk and walk the walk as if the possibility of not reaching whatever goal you have set for yourself is simply just not an option. It’s already happened — it’s a done deal, no matter what.
When you can adopt that philosophy, your whole world will begin to shift. I know mine did! Oh I know some people look at my like I’m crazy when I say things like “Oh yeah well this time next year my check will be ______”, or “In two years we’re moving into __________ neighborhood”, etc — but in my mind those things are already a reality, and I see no problem sharing my belief with others!
Now don’t get me wrong, you don’t want to go out there blurting all your goals to everyone you meet — if you want to know why, you should check out my blog post on that subject here: http://treasureyourdreams.com/treasure/?p=55
What I’m saying is that you should eventually be able to reach a point when you are completely comfortable with your goals — a point where they are already such a part of your life (through the reality in your mind) that you can’t imagine your future without them! It is at this point that magical things will begin to happen in your life — as long you have the belief to back up the actions, and the actions to back up the belief, you will be unstoppable!
The quote I leave you with is this (one of my all time favorites), by Paul J. Meyer:
“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.”
