Setting clear a clear goal is the first step.
I know this sounds very rah-rah.
But click here to hear what Arnold Schwarzenegger has to say.
"The first rule of success is to have a vision. If you don't have a vision of where you're going and you don't have a goal of where to go - you drift around and you never end up anywhere."
Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?
It's ok if you don't know right now, but just know, we can't advance until we have a vision of where to go.
Clear goals give direction. Know what you want to achieve. (Pg. 10)
Negative thoughts are mental roadblocks.
They prevent us from reaching our full potential.
When we harbor doubts and fears, they manifest in our actions.
This screws with our head and leads us right to failure and missed opportunities.
We need to counteract negative thought patterns so we can accomplish our vision.
Disbelief is negative power. When the mind disbelieves or doubts, the mind attracts 'reasons' to support the disbelief. - (Pg. 14)
David Schwartz tells us that setting big goals is crucial for achieving big things.
When we aim high, we push ourselves beyond our comfort zone and unlock our full potential.
Big goals provide clear direction and purpose.
This motivates us to take consistent action towards achieving them.
They challenge us to develop new skills, acquire knowledge, and build resilience.
By striving for ambitious targets, we set ourselves apart.
(And live a more fulfilling life)
Big ideas and big plans are often easier—certainly no more difficult—than small ideas and small plans. - (Pg. 21)
Visualization is a powerful tool that can help us achieve our goals.
All we need to do is mentally rehearse success.
When we visualize ourselves accomplishing our objectives, we create a clear mental picture of what success looks like.
This practice will activate our subconscious mind.
It aligns our thoughts and actions with our desired outcome.
Visualization also enhances motivation and confidence.
It makes it easier to stay focused and overcome challenges.
By regularly imagining success, we reinforce positive beliefs and behaviors.
This contributes to actualizing our dreams.
Visualization helps turn dreams into reality. - (Pg. 21)
Believing in oneself is the cornerstone of success.
When we truly believe that we can succeed, our mind works towards making it a reality.
This belief generates the power, skill, and energy needed to achieve our goals.
It's not about wishful thinking.
It's about having a conviction so strong, that it enables us to overcome any challenge we face.
When we believe in ourselves, we approach challenges with a positive attitude.
This mindset sets us apart from those who doubt their abilities and never put in the effort.
I'm excited because your mindset is going to inspire others to be more like you and put in the effort.
Belief, strong belief, triggers the mind to figure ways and means and how-to. - (Pg. 12)
