Happy New Year Friends!!
The topic of discussion to today is Unlocking YOUR Greatness! And regardless of who said you couldn't- whether it was your mother, your father, a teacher or whether YOU told yourself you couldn't- I want to tell you that you CAN.
The keys to greatness are within you. And the purpose of this blog is to help you... help YOU...while providing insight into some things that interest me. People constantly tell me that I am an intriguing person and ask me questions about life- therefore I want to give to you what is within me.
So many times we as people see the potential, capabilities and talents that other people possess. But we never take a good close look into the mirror and realize that the same God that created them also created us. Which means that we are just as talented! We are just as capable! But we need to take that first step.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"-Confucious
and you taking the time to out of your busy day to read this blog is your first step!
I Am Theoria and my gifting lies in the area of exhortation. I help people see who they are, unlock their potential and achieve greatness! And if you allow me, I will do the same for you.
Over the course of the next year I am going to share with you some of the secret techniques used by successful people. But you first have to realize that success is not a mindset, it is a state of mind. Therefore you have to condition your mind to be successful. Which means you may have to change your beliefs....get rid of those negative thoughts....stop associating with negative people. The keyword is change! One of my favorite quotes is
"Only two things remain constant in life...Death and Change"
considering the affects of the first one (death), change doesn't seem that bad!
With today being the first day of the New Year I am going to give you your first success tip:
Tip #1
Write down your goals.
Writing is such an important task.It gives our mind a concrete state to work toward and forces us to VISUALIZE what we want.
Here are the four rules to writing down your goals that I got from The Goal Setting Guide:
1. Write your goal in the positive.
Work for what you want, not for what you want to leave behind. Part of the reason why we write down and examine our goals is to create a set of instructions for our subconscious mind to carry out. Your subconscious mind is a very efficient tool, it can not determine right from wrong and it does not judge. It's only function is to carry out its instructions. The more positive instructions you give it, the more positive results you will get.
Thinking positively in everyday life will also help in your growth as a human being. Don't limit it to goal setting.
2. Write your goals out in complete detail.Instead of writing "A new home," write "A 4,000 square foot contemporary with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and a view of the mountain on 20 acres of land". Once again we are giving the subconscious mind a detailed set of instructions to work on. The more information you give it, the more clear the final outcome becomes. The more precise the outcome, the more efficient the subconscious mind can become.
Can you close your eyes and visualize the home I described above? Walk around the house. Stand on the porch off the master bedroom and see the fog lifting off the mountain. Look down at the garden full of tomatoes, green beans and cucumbers. And off to the right is the other garden full of a mums, carnations and roses. Can you see it? So can your subconscious mind.
3. Write in present tense.Write your goals down in the present tense. This is because the unconscious mind chooses a path of least resistance. If you write, "I will be slim" the unconscious mind does nothing thinking that the will be may be postponed until later.
A friend had a business, which was losing money. He set his goal to break even the next month. Every month the next month would come and be this month so his goal would be true to break even the next month, which would never come. Eventually he changed his goal to, "I am breaking even this month." That very month he broke even for the first time.
Write them in present tense, first person, as if they are currently true.
4. Re-write your goals.When the words are written and then repeatedly re-written they have maximum impact. So don't be content with a first draft. Write down your goal. Then rephrase it, compact it, add motivating adjectives, make it pithy. A week later you may want to adjust it again. Keep on fine-tuning.
Writing your goals down is the first step to make the goals more real. Somehow having things in writing really makes them seem more important to most people. It will also make it easier to make the plans needed to reach your goals if you have something in writing.
What are some of your goals? My favorite book says
"Write the vision, make it plain....that he may run that reads it"
