Your Mind Power Is The Product Of Your Goal-Seeking, Goal-Achieving Mind

Article by Harold L Lowe

Any information that enters the domain of your goal-seeking, goal achieving mind that it recognizes as a goal, it is not going to question. It is simply going to materialize it for you.

Here is my take on how failure enters the picture. If you think you are giving your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind one goal to achieve, but you do not get this goal past your self image and into your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind, it is going to materialize something from the pre-set conditions or from another input source.

You hope for one thing but receive something else in your experience, probably the very opposite of what you want. You think that you have somehow failed in your attempt to reach a goal you hoped to reach. Repeat this scenario a few times and it is easy to see why you would allow yourself to grab onto the extremely detrimental but much popularized word “failure.”

Your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind is never going to take a goal of increased prosperity you have allowed into it and materialize more lack and limitation in your experience. That would be like asking corn seeds to produce tomatoes or asking peanut seeds to bring forth bananas!

Whatever is allowed into it, it simply accepts as directions from you that this is what you are telling it to materialize. Through unknown universal processes, it delivers it into your life.

Your part in this creative process is so very simple and at the same time, apparently very difficult. You are the director. It is up to you to give directions to your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind as to what you want it to achieve for you! It is that simple. If you do not, someone else will.

There are some impediments to this simple operation, however, that we should explore.

The first of these blocks (stepping stones) is a lack of rudimentary knowledge of how the mind works.

The second impediment is a lack of an easy to use technique to definitively place your directions into the goal-seeking, goal achieving area of your mind.

The third barrier is a lack of understanding how your self image (ego, personality, map of reality, etc.) is formed and the tremendous amount of control it takes unto itself in cahoots with the conscious mind.

The fourth is a lack of easy to use techniques to break the stranglehold of your self image (ego, personality, map of reality, etc.) and claim or re-claim control of your mind.

See article “What Does Your Mind Power Have To Do With Your Financial Conditions?” for explanation of the conscious mind. See article “Mastering Your Mind Power — Your Number 1 Challenge!” for explanation of the major operations of the subconscious mind and the development of the self image.

Here is something I know for sure. You can claim or re-claim control of your own mind power. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin mastering your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.

7 Steps That Accelerate Goal Achievement

March 15, 2011 By edbobpro Leave a Comment

Article by André Taylor

There are common steps associated with goal achievement. They are:

§ Aim high.
§ Write your goals down.
§ Set a time limit or deadline.
§ Identify those people, and organizations that can help you reach your goals.
§ Consider multiple facets of your life including family, career, health, etc.

I have often been asked if there is more to the process of goal achievement than these steps. My answer? Yes there is.

While the goal setting process outlined above is quite valuable, and perhaps fundamental, I have found nuances to the goal-setting process, typically not discussed. Here are seven steps that will accelerate your goal achievement.

Step One: Assume Success: It All Begins With The Way You Think

Top achievers think differently. First they conceive, plan, and work on their goals with a level of expectation that is foreign to most people. They do not say, “I’ll try this, and see what happens,” or “This might work, you never know.”

Achievers proceed toward their goals with a level of confidence that cause others to think they have inside knowledge about how to make their goals a reality. It is this level of expectation that gives them the laser focus needed to see possibilities that most do not see. More importantly, they are actually “living,” their goals long before they are achieved.

Step Two: Identify and Focus On Your Primary Goals

Intensifying your focus on a few goals is often easier for those beginning to refine their own goal achievement process. Having just a few goals makes each goal much more real because you cannot get lost in a lengthy list of plans and projects. As you develop more experience and confidence in the goal setting process, you can expand your goal list and potentially work on 10, 20, or 30 or more goals at the same time. However I recommend that most people trim their goal list down to a very manageable group of 7.

Step Three: Examine And Clarify Your Beliefs and Values

A big obstacle for many seeking accelerated goal achievement is being out of sync with their goals. That is, many “say,” they want to achieve certain things but do not really believe in their ability to achieve their goals or totally value their goals. As a result they unconsciously minimize their ability to achieve their stated intentions. To reach you goals fast you have to be sure that your goals really reflect your true beliefs and values. After setting your goals, be honest with yourself about whether these are really your beliefs and commitments.

Step Four: Immerse Yourself In The Process Daily

This is an important step that many goal setters are unaware of. Top achievers “live” their goals. Many unconsciously work with their goals every day. It’s a good idea for you to take this approach consciously. I believe strongly in working with my goals twice a day at minimum, once in the morning, and once in the evening.

I have spiral notebook in which I write my goals. In that notebook I have also developed my “Statement of Achievement.” This statement opens my goal list and closes my goal list. It sets the tone for the goals to follow. I recommend that you write your own, Statement of Achievement and that you write your statement and your list of goals twice a day. Sometimes you’ll want to even go back more and recite the statement as it occurs to you during the day.

Step Five: Recognize and Act On Your Intuition

Balancing your internal process with your external process is step five of my accelerated goal achievement process. First you want to become sensitive to the ideas and solutions that are presented to you thousands of times daily.

You are always receiving ideas, insights, and greater details that pertain to your goals throughout the day. Once you decide to really focus on your goal setting and achievement this will become more noticeable. It’s important that you capture this information. Carry a journal with you and write down the sparks of insight you receive throughout the day. These are the quickest paths to your goals. When you take action on these items you will be led into circumstances that will, in turn, set you on a direct path to your goal.

Step Six: Overcome Your Resistance

We all tend to hesitate, re-consider, and even procrastinate. We have impulses that we ignore. There are actions we won’t take. We don’t make calls. We don’t write letters. We don’t send emails. Sometimes others will offer ideas and suggestions, but we don’t want to be counseled or coached. There are so many examples of how we resist achieving our own goals. You must become conscious of your resistance and learn to breakthrough this resistance.

Step Seven: Establish Positive Triggers

You can and should train yourself to remain focused on your goals and your ability to achieve them by establishing psychological triggers that bring you to the right focus and state of accomplishment quickly. Pyschological triggers include words that quickly bring you back to your aim, images representing the successful accomplishment of your goals, and even music that affects you emotionally and gives you the feeling of success and accomplishment.

Achieving your goals requires the right thinking and the right actions, sometimes for an extended period of time. However, these tips will help you develop a winning strategy that will keep your progress steady and pointed in the right direction.

Developing the Right Attitude to Support Goal Achievement

March 15, 2011 By edbobpro Leave a Comment

Article by Kevin Eikenberry

Achievers are always looking for ways to become more successful; to reach goals more quickly and with greater assurance. And, for centuries authors have been sharing the factors that help anyone reach their goals.

If you consider achievement and achievers, you hopefully would recognize that one piece of the goal achievement puzzle is attitude.

In most goal achievement writing I`ve seen, attitude is always discussed, often downplayed and typically misunderstood in the entire goal achievement puzzle; three good reasons to explore the ‘right` attitude!

In this brief article, I will outline what the right attitude is (to support maximum goal achievement), why it is important to us both as individuals and leaders and how to develop it.

So, what is the right attitude? I`m glad you asked.

Consider the three P`s of the right goal achievement attitude:

Positive. This is where most of these conversations start… and stop. Prevailing wisdom and much research show that having a positive attitude improves the likelihood you will achieve your goal, speeds your progress and, perhaps most importantly, makes you more resilient – All of which help you overcome obstacles and remain persistent in pursuit of your goal.
Possibility. The key to possibility is belief. Do you believe you can succeed and reach the goal? Do you believe we can earn it? Do you believe the goal is possible? If you think it is possible for others, can you see it for ourselves? This is more than just an extension of positive thinking. After all, if you didn`t think the goal was achievable, how likely are you to work hard to achieve it?
Proactive. The right attitude isn`t about thinking and belief alone. The right attitude includes realizing that you must roll up your sleeves and do something.

As you take action in the direction of your goals, you can build momentum, greater belief and enhance our attitude as we go.

All of this sounds pretty good, I realize, but what makes this the “right” attitude; or, more practically, how does this attitude help the situation?

The right attitude enables the right behaviors – behaviors of persistence, discipline and creativity.
The right attitude enables right focus – staying on mentally target and alert for opportunities.
The right attitude enables right results – it improves the likelihood of your success in reaching your goals.

Behaviors, focus and results. The right attitude can create all of them, both for ourselves and those we lead.

You know what the right attitude looks like (and you realize it is more than “just” positive mental attitude) as it relates to goal achievement, you may be wondering how do you create it? Another great question… here are some immediate steps -

1. Set the goal. This is the start. Before you can achieve a goal you must know what it is. This sets everything in motion. The size and nature of the goal will impact all three P`s described above.
2. Involve those who will be achieving the goal. If you want others to believe in the goal, you must involve them as much as possible. The right attitude comes easier when participants own the goal.
3. Create greater belief. Remind people of past successes; reward and recognize small successes on the achievement path. As you do this you create a momentum effect and the greater belief buoys the attitude.
4. Get excited about the goal. Actually this is a misstatement. Don`t focus on the goal itself, get yourself and others excited about the benefits that come from achieving the goal. When you know why you are doing the (hard) work of moving toward a goal, you are creating the right attitude.
5. Make the goals visual and vivid. Help people “see” the achievement of the goal. While this has already been mentioned, it is critical. Help your team make that picture as real as you can. Then, whenever possible, remind people of that vision.
6. Keep the goal in front of you at all times. Do you have a list of your goals that you read often? Do you have team goals “written down” or visually available to people in multiple places? Do you open team meetings by reminding people of the goals? When we are reminded of goals we are excited about achieving, it manages our attitude and keeps is “right.”

We all know the right attitude will make a difference. Now you know some reasons why, and how you can influence and nurture that attitude in yourself, and those you lead.

Once you get the attitude right, you are fast-forwarding your progress towards achieving your goals!
