A Simple Technique
Let me now give you a simple technique that has transformed my life and the
life of almost every person who has ever used it. It is simply this: get yourself a
spiral notebook, the kind used in school for taking notes. Begin each day by
sitting down with this notebook and writing out your main goals in the
present
tense
, as though they were already a reality.
Use strong, definite words like, “I earn,” “I achieve,” or “I am.” You can write
other things in this notebook if you like, but the most important action is that you
take five minutes each day to write and rewrite your major goals, without
referring back to what you wrote yesterday.
Hand writing your goals is called a “psychoneuromotor activity.” Each time
you write out your goals, you drive them deeper into your subconscious mind.
You increase the intensity of your desire and the depth of your belief. You
activate the mental laws of concentration and attraction and correspondence.
You focus your mental powers and increase your confidence that the goal is
achievable.
By rewriting your goals every day, they become clearer and stronger and take
on a power of their own. This exercise impresses your goals so deeply into your
subconscious mind that they will eventually “lock on,” and you will begin to
move irresistibly and unstoppably toward their achievement. When this happens,
your future will be guaranteed.
As you develop this ability to set and achieve whatever it is you want in life,
you will develop the kind of confidence that comes from positive “knowing”
rather than positive thinking. You will become unstoppable.
Action Exercises
1. Decide today exactly what you want in life. Set your goals as if you had
no limitations, and whatever you wrote, you could achieve.
2. Make a list of 10 goals that you would like to achieve in the next 12
months or so.
3. Write your goals in the present, positive, personal tense. For example, you
could write, “I earn $XXX,XXX by this date.” This is personal, positive,
and in the present tense.
4. Set deadlines on each of your goals, and set subdeadlines if necessary.
5. Make a list of everything you will have to do to achieve your goal and
organize the list by sequence and priority. This now becomes your plan.
6. Review your list and ask, “If I could be guaranteed to achieve any one
goal on my list within 24 hours, which one goal would have the greatest
positive impact on my life?”
7. Take this number-one goal, your major definite purpose, write it at the top
of a new page in the present, personal, positive tense. Make a list of
everything you could do to achieve this goal, organize it into a plan, and
take action on your plan immediately.
8. Do something every day, seven days per week on your major goal.
Resolve to persist on this goal until you succeed, no matter how hard it
becomes or how much time it takes.
This process of setting and achieving one big goal will build your self-
confidence to the point where you will become unstoppable for the rest of your
life.
