Brian Tracy walks through a New Year goal-setting exercise: project to December and ask "What would have to happen?" to identify what you want across health, finances, relationships, and work. Writing ambitious goals and repeatedly asking how to achieve them activates the Law of Attraction to bring the right people and circumstances your way.
Hello, and thank you for coming into my house. As you can see, I'm in my home, in my living room. We're getting ready for our staff Christmas party where all of our friends from the business are coming together. And this is a Christmas tree that we set up every single year. It takes hours and hours and hours to do it. And I wanted to give you a New Year's Eve message and a New Year's Eve idea. Every time about this year, I make a resolution that next year is going to be the best year of. Of my life. And what I want you to do is say the same things. Next year is going to be the best year of my life until the year after. Then what you do is you ask yourself this question. I call it the chemical question. Wwh2h. What would have to happen? What would have to happen for you to make this a great year? If you could project forward to December 31, 2012 and you could say, this has been the greatest year of my life because I accomplished the following. And then make a list of all the things that you would have accomplished in next year if it was a great year. Write down your health goals and your income goals and your financial accumulation or estate goals. Get out of debt, lose weight, exercise more. Write down your family and relationship goals and your travel goals and your learning goals and your business goals. And write them down as if you could wave a magic wand and achieve them, as if you had no limitations. And then from then on, for the rest of the year, you ask yourself, how could I do this? What would I have to do now? And think in terms creatively of all the wonderful things that you could do in your life. And my promise to you is this is how you activate the Law of Attraction. And this is how you start attracting into your life people, circumstances, ideas, and resources to make next year the best year of your life. So this is my favorite resolution. December, January, the perfect time to do it. Next year is going to be the best year of your life. So what would have to happen?
