5 Steps To Realising Your Goal: Part 4

February23

Hi everyone!

We are almost there! If you have not read part 3, take a look at the previous post before you get rolling on part 4: Taking Action

I know, i know this is the tough part but hey, we had to get to it at some stage – nothing comes from nothing.

I often think of this mantra i heard once: Thoughts create Actions create Results. When you think about it, everything originated from a thought in someone’s head. This computer monitor you are looking at, the music you might be listening to, the socks you wear, the toothpaste you use! Everything started as a thought and it was the action that was taken that brought it into reality – Results!

Now i have hundreds of thoughts every day and i am sure you do too – most of them come when i am having a shower in the morning, when my mind is relaxed and open. For these thoughts to come into existence you need to take action.

When i say take action i mean doing whatever it takes! The action you take today will determine your results for tomorrow so dont just do the bare essentials – nobody gets ahead by doing the minimum required. You have to go to the next level and do whatever it takes!

The people who have the most amounts of results in life are the people who are willing to do more than most are willing to do.  The people who have the results in their lives that you don’t have in yours are the people who are taking actions that you are not taking just yet.  When you take those actions you too will have those results.  It is that easy!

This is where your goal sheets become your crucial tool; they go with you everywhere. Don’t leave home without them. Stay focused on what your end result needs to be and continue to ask yourself when faced at a crossroad, “Will this take me closer or further away from my goals?”

If you have followed the lessons so far you should have a number of goals and a number of actions you need to take to achieve them. When you wake up in the morning just choose 2 of those tasks that will get you closer to your goal.

When i wake up in the morning i ask 3 questions: What am i happy about today? What am i grateful for today? What 2 actions can i take today that will get me closer to my goal? When you ask yourself a question, your mind will not let up until it gives you an answer so make sure you are listening when you ask the questions.

One last thing – enjoy the process! Life is not a chore, its something we are blessed with every day so take action and enjoy the process of living your dreams.

Cheers,

Matt

    Matt,

    Great idea to use 3 morning questions. I always ask myself what I’m grateful for today, but adding what there is to be happy about AND the 2 actions that will take you closer to your goal are equally powerful questions.

    Also the concept of carrying those goals with you at all times is something that Richard B. Brooke’s advises in “Mach II With Your Hair On Fire”. He recommends that you laminate your list and never leave home without it.

    This has been an incredibly inspirational series, Matt. I’d love to compare notes in a couple of months to see what kind of progress we’ve made.

    Very nice! I like the idea of taking the action sheet with me where ever I go. I know having it close by to stay focused on it will do just that, keep me focused! And when you said ‘if you want the same results…’ it made me chuckle! Of course, and yet it seems harder than that! It is hard, but with the focus, knowledge and determination it will happen. Thank you!

    Hi Matt, I love the way you’ve broken it all down into baby steps. It makes it all appear more doable. When I wake I give thanks & gratitude for the new day & all the opportunities it holds. Asking my mind the questions you suggested is a really cool idea. I love it when I get my answers :) Thanks for sharing this. Cheers Toni
