Make Your Goals Easier to Achieve

Hey there. I'd like to welcome you to Crystal Cove in Newport Beach, California. And something that I wanted to bring to your attention. Many of you know my famous story, or I think it's famous anyway, now, where my, you know, first mentor, Alan Brown, asked me to write down my goals when I was 19 years old. And I didn't really have any goals then when I wrote down the goals that he gave me the sheet to write on for health, wealth, relationships, career, business, lifestyle experiences, charitable contributions, he asked me the question that really changed my life, and that was, was I interested or was I committed to achieving those goals? And you probably know, I asked him the difference between being interested and committed. And he said, if you're interested, you'll do what's convenient. If you're interested, you'll come up with stories and excuses and reasons why you can't. He says, but if you're committed, you'll do whatever it takes. And I was thinking about this, you know, last night, I'm actually here finishing the final edits on my new book, Inner size the new science to unlock your brain's hidden power. And I was thinking the word committed to a lot of people obviously means different things, but what if you were to be committed to just one step at a time? See, a lot of times when we look at being committed to a, you know, a total outcome that can overwhelm some people. And what I learned is, you know, just like taking steps on the beach here, I started all the way back there. Have I had I focused on, you know, how far I was going? I might have been overwhelmed, and I might have said, oh, my God, that's too far. But I just started walking and I ended up here, this beautiful little, you know, rocky cove. But I wanted to just get back to commitment. And so what if you said to yourself, yes, I'm committed to one step today. Yes, I'm committed to one positive thought. Yes, I'm committed to, you know, one action that starts to build the mental and emotional and physical muscle to move towards the ultimate goal. Vision, dreams that you have. You see, the way to reach any goal is a little bit at a time. And so you bite off as much as you can just to take down the tension level that will allow you to achieve your goals one at a time. What you're looking to do in making a commitment to achieving your goal is just a commitment to picking yourself up when you fall down, doing two minutes of intersise when you don't feel like it, if you don't feel like doing 2. Do 1. Reading your goals for 30 seconds, feeling positive for a moment, a smile, you know, look up, smile doing something. Be committed to something that just build that positive reinforcement that is required to achieve any goal. And so be committed to yourself that you'll do no matter what. And you'll get up no matter how many times you have to get up. And you'll challenge yourself to let go of what isn't working no matter what. And that's all you need to be committed to, that. The option to stay the same is not there. The option to stay depressed or anxious or stressed or a victim, just remove that option and say, I'll take one step, I'll take two steps. I'll take three steps. And that's how you slowly build the neuro muscles, the confidence muscles, the certainty muscles. And that's what it's going to take to achieve your goals and dreams. But you don't have to eat the whole elephant. Just take a little bite today. Okay? So that's the end of this session. Enjoy your day. Stay focused on what you want to achieve. Don't focus on why you can't. And just take one little step at a time. Be commitment. Be committed to a little bit at a time.
