Your brain is constantly screening out and deleting 99.9% of everything you perceive. You would go crazy with ‘information overload’ if it didn’t!

Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) will bring to your attention that 0.01% that your brain feels is important.

The way you can get your RAS to work for you in an empowering way… is by setting GOALS.

When you write down a goal, you are in fact sending a clear order to your brain (and your RAS) that THIS IS IMPORTANT, THIS IS WHAT I WANT, NOW GET IT FOR ME!

OK, now grab a pen and some paper, and start answering the questions below.

• If you had 100 million dollars in the bank and absolutely no limitations whatsoever,

what would you be doing right now? Imagine that you were granted 1 wish – what would you dare to dream, if you knew you could not fail?

• What kind of work would you truly enjoy and be passionate about? Are you currently doing the type of work you love to do? If not, what has stopped you so far from pursuing it? Do you plan to continue allowing that to stop you? If not, what could you do to change that?

• If you had no limitations, where would you want to travel? What would you want to experience?

• If you learnt today that you only had 6 months to live, what would you do with that remaining time? What is really important to you? What do you want to leave behind?

• What knowledge or skill would you like to acquire?

• What do you want for your body and your health? Do you want to be healthy, fit, and vibrant?

• What do you want to achieve financially? Do you want to earn $1 million? $100 million? Do you want to earn $10,000 a month? Do you want to eliminate all your debts? Do you have investment goals or savings targets for the next year, 5 years, 10 years, etc?

• What would you like buy? What toys, gadgets, or general items you’ve always wanted?

• What specific characteristics do you want your ideal life partner to possess? Describe your ideal partner!

• What would you like to contribute to the world?

• What would you like to create?

• What would your dream house look like? What would be in it?

• Who are your heroes? Who would you like to be more like? What character traits would you like to develop?

Once you’ve got your list of goals, you’ll need to review your goals daily. Stick them in your diary, on your fridge, in your car, on your computer, next to your bed, laminate them and

stick them in the shower!

Whatever you focus on consistently you will get or become!

By the way, if you have a desire for something, that means YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ABILITY WITHIN YOU to achieve your desires. What you can conceive, you can believe, and therefore you can achieve. Period.

Can you imagine what achieving your goals would do to your self-confidence?

What has thinking about your goals done for you already? Do you feel more in control of your life? Do you feel the power that comes from this simple act?

YOU ARE NOW DICTATING YOUR TERMS ON LIFE – IT’S YOU THAT DETERMINES HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO BE. YOU ARE IN CONTROL.
