Four Powerful Strategies to help achieve your Goals

Copyright ? 2006

We all have wishes. Wishes are goals, but goals with a

little snap, crackle, and pop. Goals provide the process

that can take you where you want to go, but too often they

don't provide the inspiration to get you there. Wishes are

different. They have impact - like being struck by

lightning instead of by a lightning bug. They let you

dream. They let you soar. They let you tap into a source of

limitless possibility and boundless energy that gives you

the power to accomplish what you might otherwise never have

imagined. How we achieve our goals, are simplified by doing

the following:

Intensify Desire- Desire is the first step of goal

achievement and the foundation. Have you set personal or

business goals and failed to achieve them? Here is a

crucial question: WHY? The answer is simple; because we did

not have a strong enough desire. Some may argue with that.

But I did have a strong desire and still I didn't get there.

How do you identify intense desire, passion? It's what

keeps people working all hours, up early, late to bed. The

desire dominates conversation, thinking, actions. Take a

moment to think about the goals you've set for yourself.

How committed are you to achieving these goals? Under what

conditions would you give up? What if you could

significantly increase your desire to achieve these goals?

What if you wanted them so badly that you knew with

absolute certainty that you would absolutely, positively

never ever give up?

When you are truly 100% committed to reaching your goals,

you move from hoping to knowing. If you want something

badly enough, then quitting is simply not an option. You

either find a way or make one. You pay the price, whatever

it takes. By creating intense desire you can realize the

impossible dream. Develop a sincere desire to achieve the

goal. A wish or daydream has no substance; it is vague,

unformed, and unsupported by action. Desire puts action

into your plan.

Strong desire is success power. How to Intensify Your

Desire, how then can we intensify desire? Here are four

steps you can take to cultivate burning desire to achieve

any goal you set for yourself:

1. List The Benefits. Write down the benefits of achieving

your goal. What is in it for me? Identify exactly "Why" you

want to achieve this goal. List all the ways how will you

benefit personally. Why not do this exercise today with one

of your goals. Have you set a goal for your business to

make $X this month? Making money for the sake of it after a

while becomes mundane. There has to be something more. Make

a list of all the benefits from using that money. What

difference will it make to your family, your lifestyle,

your enjoyment of life, your business growth? What if one

of your goals is to develop a skill or awaken a dormant

talent or ability? Write down a huge list of the benefits

this will bring you and your loved ones, or your business.

The more you write, the more details your mind conjures up,

the greater the intensity of desire becomes. Once the list

gets past 20 or 30 benefits your goal becomes unstoppable.

2. Burn The Ships. If your goals are really important

enough to you, then you can start by burning the proverbial

ships, such that you have no choice but to press on. For

instance, if you want to launch your own business, you can

begin by making the commitment to quitting your job. Write

a letter of resignation, put it in a stamped envelope

addressed to your boss, and give it to a trusted friend

with firm instructions to mail the letter if you haven't

quit your job by a certain date. If you don't burn those

ships, you are sending the message to your subconscious

mind that it's ok to quit. And when the going gets tough,

as it inevitably does for any worthwhile goal, you will

quit. If you really want to achieve your goals, then you've

got to burn those ships to the ground, and scatter the

ashes.

3. Feed Your Mind with Excellent Information. Inspirational

books and audio programs are one of the best fuel sources

for cultivating desire. If you want to quit smoking, read a

dozen books written by ex-smokers on how to quit the habit.

If you want to start a business, then start devouring

business books. Go to seminars on occasion. It is advised

that you feed your mind with some form of motivational

material, books, articles, audio programs for at least 15

minutes a day. This will continually recharge your

batteries and keep your desire impenetrably strong.

4. Use Mental Programming. This is a Neuro-Linguistic

Programming (NLP) technique that will help you associate

strong positive emotions to whatever goal you're working to

achieve. Find some music that really energizes and inspires

you. Put on your headphones and listen to it for 15 to 20

minutes, and as you do this, form a clear mental picture of

yourself having already achieved the results you want. Make

your imagery big, bright, vivid, colorful,

three-dimensional, panoramic, and animated. Picture the

scene as if looking through your own eyes. This will help

you form a neuro-association between the positive emotions

elicited by the music and the goal you want to achieve,

thus strengthening your desire. This is a great way to

begin each day, and you can even do it while lying in bed

when you first awaken if you set things up the night

before. You should cycle the music periodically, since the

emotional charge you get will tend to diminish if you

listen to the same songs each time.

If you apply these four strategies, you'll add so much fuel

to your desire that the fire will never burn out. You'll

move towards your goals like a guided missile to its

target, and you'll enjoy the process because you'll be so

focused on the positive rewards instead of the difficulty

of the tasks. If you get enough positive energy flowing

into you, you'll soon have positive results flowing out of

you. Desire is the great motivation. The powerful force

that drives you toward your goals.
