Brian Tracy explains how writing down goals you imagine without limits changes your life. People who write goals and review them later achieve about 80% of them. The practice boosts confidence, energy, and your odds of success.
About 80% (as stated in the talk).
Let's talk now about one of the skills of all high performing people, and that is to imagine no limitations. When you look at life, the starting point of setting goals is for you to throw off all your mental limitations and let your mind roam freely across the entire universe of possibilities. Your primary job at the beginning is to allow yourself to dream big, dreams big, and then determine exactly what it is that you want out of life. In every area and in every dimension. Decide what's right before you decide what's possible. Imagine that you could be or have or do virtually anything that you really want to, as long as you know exactly what it is first. Make up a dream list temporarily. Imagine that you have no limitations of time, money, knowledge, contacts, experience or education. Imagine that anything that you can write down is possible for you. Remember, anything that you can clearly define and crystallize on paper is probably possible if you want it long enough and hard enough, and if you're willing to make whatever efforts and sacrifices are necessary. There are no unrealistic goals, as we say, only unrealistic timelines. The very act of writing your goals down sets the whole universe to work in your favor and activates all the mental laws to help you. In fact, many people have had the experience of writing out a list of goals on New Year's Day, putting the list away and not referring to it again until the end of the year, and then finding at the end of the year that 80% of the goals have been achieved. Sometimes in the most amazing ways. The very act of writing big challenging goals causes three things to happen. First, your self concept improves and your self confidence goes up immediately just by writing down some big goals. The act of setting goals requires self confidence and simultaneously builds self confidence. Having the courage to write down what you really want improves your self image and raises your self esteem. The action itself generates a feeling of greater personal power and ability. Second, when you write down goals, you tap into your mental and emotional powers. Goal setting actually gives you a burst of physical and mental energy. Your heart rate and your respiratory rate speed up. The very act of goal setting is inherently exciting. Sometimes we say we're feeling listless. Make a list. It's true. It's like stepping on the accelerator of your own mental and physical potential. And if you do this every day, write your goals down over and over, the results can be amazing. And finally, commit your goals to paper. The very fact that you have committed a goal to paper dramatically increases the likelihood that you will achieve that goal. Your mind is structured in such a way that you cannot write down a goal clearly on paper without simultaneously having the ability to somehow attain it. The most important question is always how badly do you want it? I hope you enjoyed this video on how to throw off any mental limitations and allow yourself to dream big dreams.
