Secrets to Goal Setting Revealed ... Part Four

Desire is the want to live a better life ...
Passion is the refusal to live without

Did you feel the power of the above quote? Did you feel the power of the words resonate through your entire being? If not, I suggest you go back and re-read the above two lines again ...

Desire ... Passion ... These are the two driving forces that govern your life ... these are the two traits that determine the extent and level of your success and achivement in life!

Do you feel the desire to live a different life? Do you feel this intense need coursing through your blood? Do you feel the burning desire in your veins and your very being? Do you feel the passion in whatever you do?

Do you refuse to live an ordinary life?

Because if you do, life will begin to change from this very instant! If you acknowledge that you deserve a better life and you pursue this with a burining passion, your life will never be the same ever again!

That's what the 4th step in Goal Setting is all about ... It's all about desire ... It's all about passion ... It's all about asking yourselves the right question!

"Is it a want or a must?"

That's the fourth step in goal setting! Go back and read that question again ... It's a very powerful question and it can govern your success in goal setting.

'Terence, what's the difference between a want or a must?'

I hear some of you asking that question in your head ...

The answer is ...

A Big Difference!

My mentor taught me something which has made a profound difference in my life. With this concept alone, I went from earning an ordinary salaried income to grossing a five-figure income every month. Ready for this concept?

Your results are a result of the actions you take

Your actions are a result of the decisions you make

Your decisions are a result of the mindset you have

Mindset --> Desicion --> Action --> Result

Going by the above flow of thought, whether or not you achieve your goal does not depend on your actions ... It depends on your mindset!

I know a lot of you are going to disagree with me on this point but it's the universal truth!

Try this simple experiment ...

I want you to close your eyes and say the following sentence in your mind over and over again:

"I want to be successful"

How did it feel? Did you feel any rush of energy? Maybe, to a certain extent.

Now close your eyes and repeat this sentence over and over again:

"I must be successful!"

How did it feel this time? Did you feel a greater rush of energy? Did you feel the excitement coursing through your veins? Did you feel the cosmic energies of the universe rushing down to help you achieve your goal?

That's the difference! When you only tell yourself that you want to achieve your goal, you are sending a signal to your subconscious that you have an option whether to succeed or not.

But when you tell yourself that you must achieve your goal, you are sending a signal to your subconscious that you have no choice but to achieve your goal! You have no other option but to give your very best and achieve your goal! Failure is not a word in your vocabulary when you must achieve your goal!

That's the immense power of words ...

Remember that the quality of your life depends upon the quality of the questions you constantly ask yourself!

So look at your goals again ...

Is it a want?

Or is it a must?

The answer to that question will ultimately determine how fast you achieve your goals.

Put the power of words go to work for you. Leverage on your desire to achieve your goals. And fire yourself with the passion to live a better life!

And as always,

Carpe Diem ... Seize the Day!
