You can reach YOUR goals! This is the beautiful sunrise over the Caribbean, from our balcony on the Mayan Riviera.

There is an easy way to learn how to reach your goals – no matter how big or how challenging you think they are.

You might not believe that, because you are so used to struggling and never reaching your dreams. I see it all the time, in fact I used to have the same exact problem.

I had dreams, big dreams, and even though I was working and struggling, things never clicked for me. I had read a lot of books, I watched the dvd’s and videos, I even attended seminars and workshops, all in the hope of finding that ‘magic solution’ that would make my life better.

I had a lot of pieces to the success puzzle, but I didn’t seem able to put them together.

Is that how you feel sometimes?

I’m sure it is. We all do.

But now you have the opportunity to change all that.

There are two things that frustrate most people when they try to move towards their big dream.

1. It takes too long.
2. Creating changes is often painful.

What if I told you that you could eliminate both of these problems? That you could learn how to reach your goals quickly and painlessly?

The truth is that you CAN reach your goals fast, you simply need a plan of action that gets you where you want to go, without all the pain and struggle.

Without a plan, without a definite direction and purpose to your thoughts and actions, you will simply be spinning your wheels – and not getting anywhere!

Start right now and create a plan for your success. Plan out how you will reach your goals.

Then get started!

One solution is my Rapid Results Blueprint – a step by step formula for success that I created to help you overcome those two major stumbling blocks in the goal setting process: speed and the pain of changing.

Remember, the more you know about your goal and how you will achieve it – the easier it will be for you to actually reach your goal.

Take action now!

Life has obstacles. It’s what you do when faced with those obstacles that determines your ultimate success and your ultimate happiness.
This is a short video that I think you will like:

What do you do when faced with an obstacle in your path?

Do you run away? Or do you take that leap of faith, trusting that you will make it?

It turns out that your biggest gains, your biggest successes in life only comewhen you are stepping outside of your comfort zone, when you are actually making changes in your life.  This is often scary and not something that you might naturally want to do.

But taking that leap of faith, trusting in your ability to succeed, is crucial. If you don’t ever stretch, you won’t ever grow!

When was the last time you took a leap of faith?

When was the last time you had to stretch beyond what is comfortable in order to move towards a goal or dream?

Here is what I have discovered:

When you reach the point of frustration and it doesn’t seem like you will ever reach your goal, THAT is the time when you need to gather your strength and just go for it!

Remember, the only way to truly manifest your desires, is to keep at it until you succeed.

Now go take a leap of faith and you’ll see that trusting your ability to succeed is the right thing to do.

You probably think that you are a pretty good decision maker, right? You make good decisions, don’t you? Don’t answer until after you watch this video featuring Dan Ariely!

Isn’t it interesting how easily the decision making process can be manipulated and twisted?

Do you see how this happens in your own life? You think you are seeing the ‘big picture’ but in reality you are simply seeing just a tiny slice of it at any one time…

There are quite a few lessons here.

The biggest lesson, I think, is that we all need to slow down our decision making. Yes, the ability to make quick decisions is important – but as you can see from the video, often your decisions are influenced by things outside of your control.

Sometimes, like the visual illusions shown in the video, it is impossible to see the truth about a situation without taking extreme measures and changing the way you are looking at things. (Like covering up the Rubik’s Cube so that you can see that the blocks really are the same color.)

Your perspective shapes your reality.

Change your perspective and you will change your life!

How to believe that you can succeed!

Do you believe that you can succeed?

That is probably the most important question that you can ask yourself, because if you don’t believe in your own abilities, you are always going to struggle to reach your goals. Your success in life starts with your belief that you can succeed.

So where does that belief come from? How can you hold the belief that you can succeed… even when you never have before?

The problem is that doing something new, reaching out towards a new goal, can be scary. All sorts of thoughts and emotions can come up and distract you from reaching your goal. You begin to experience doubt, worry, and confusion. You wonder if you are really capable of reaching this goal. This starts a downward spiral that keeps you from ever having the belief in yourself that you need.

But you can change that!

Start by looking at your goal and answering these questions:

1. Has anyone else ever done this before?

Chances are that someone, somewhere in this big world, has achieved something quite similar to what you want to achieve, right? So that means that your goal is doable! You are capable of achieving the same things as most of the people on this planet.

2. Have you ever done something similar?

If so, great! You have already proven to yourself that you can learn new things! If not, you have probably already accomplished some amazing things. Did you learn to ride a bicycle? Drive a car? Balance a checkbook? Use a computer? All of those are amazing skills! Now you simply ‘learn’ the new skills that you need to reach your goal. Reviewing your past successes is often a great way to build up your belief in yourself.

3. Why do you want it?

This is a big question, but if you want to know how to believe that you can succeed, you have to be able to answer it. If you have a strong reason why you want something, your belief that you can succeed is strengthened. And the stronger your belief in yourself, the more you will be willing to do in order to realize your goal.

Believe in yourself and your ‘self’ will never let you down! Know that there will be ups and downs in the road toward your dreams, but also know that as long as you keep moving forward you will eventually get there!

Are you letting fear keep you from reaching your dreams?

What is the number one thing holding you back and stopping you from reaching the life you dream of?

Can you say what it is? Can you put into words the reason WHY you are struggling to make the changes in your life that you desire?

Just ask yourself, “What is holding me back?”

If you answered ‘fear’, then you are not alone. Fear of one kind or another is almost always the underlying factor in a your lack of success in any area of your life.

In fact, fear is easily the biggest dream killer I know of. If you have been struggling, wanting to change your life, but finding yourself unable to, you are probably stuck in that vicious cycle of fear.  But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can break through your fear. You can change your life, or anything about your life, right now – in spite of those fears.

Fear is a powerful motivator, that much is true, but unfortunately, fear often motivates you to take the wrong actions. It can cause you to act without thinking.

So here is a better question to ask yourself: Are you ready to let go of that ‘thing’ and move forward?

Great! Here is a simple way to conquer your fears and begin the process of transforming your life.

The first step is to be honest with your SELF. This isn’t always easy. You might find yourself making excuses or blaming things outside yourself for your lack of results. This is never the case. Dig deeper and see what you are really afraid of doing.

The answer is within you.

There is something that you know you should do, something that you are not doing, that if you did it, would move you forward. Your job is to find that ‘thing’… and then do it. The more honest you are with yourself about your fears and exactly how you want to change your life, the better you will do.

Sometimes you just can’t figure it out by yourself. Sometimes your problems are so big and so overwhelming that they prevent you from seeing your solutions. If this happens to you, try enlisting the help of a loved one or a trusted friend or your success coach or mentor. A fresh perspective on your challenges is often all it takes to see where you need to focus your attention.

When you get serious about reaching your dreams, when you get serious about changing your life, you will be able to break through your fears and change your life.

How grand is your vision for 2011?

Do you have a vision of what you want your life to look like in 2011? Will the coming year be a GREAT year?

Or will you SETTLE for more of the same problems and setbacks that you experienced this year?

The choice is yours.

I know what you are thinking – who in their right mind would choose more of the same problems? Unfortunately, that is exactly what many people unwittingly do. They let their fear keep them stuck in a cycle of action and reaction, a cycle that keeps producing results they don’t want. When you are stuck in that cycle, it is easy to feel that next year will simply be more of the same garbage as this year.

But know this, this coming year will bring peace and prosperity to many people.  Regardless of all the doom and gloom that is out there, I promise you that in 2011 there will be an abundance of people doing all sorts of amazing things. There will be people finding love, losing weight, starting businesses, becoming millionaires, and achieving thousands and thousands of dreams – both big and small.

How will they do that?

By DECIDING to!

By having a vision of their future.

So let me ask you a question.

What have YOU decided that 2011 will look like for you?

I am not asking you what you want to have happen next year. I want to know what you have decided about next year.

There is a big difference.

Here is another promise about 2011:

I promise you that your life in the coming year will be as grand and exciting as your vision of your life is. No more, no less.

The clearer your vision, the better your results.

It is your vision, your mental picture of your life, that empowers you and connects you with your dreams. There might be thousands of things that you want to do next year… or that you wish would happen next year… or that would be nice to have happen next year… but sadly, few of those things will actually happen next year…

…unless YOU DECIDE that they will happen.

That is the key. You get to decide how big your life will be. You get to decide which of your dreams to make real.

2011 is just around the corner, and from now until the end of the year you will hear people talking about New Year’s Resolutions and about all the things that they want, wish, and hope for next year. Everyone does it. Your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers, your loved ones… maybe even you. The new year brings hope, doesn’t it?

But didn’t you just do this, not too long ago? Wasn’t it this time last year when you sat there at your computer, reading a blog post similar to this one, wishing and hoping that this year would be better than the last?

What will make 2011 better for you?

Get clear on your vision of what you want you life to look like, of what you want to do and experience this coming year. The more specific you are about the details of your desired life and lifestyle, the easier it will be to achieve your dreams.

I will be here to help in any way I can. In the first half of 2011 I have some powerful events and classes coming up that will help you with the changes that you want to make… starting in January with the return of Manifesting Magic, and continuing throughout the year with free calls, free coaching, and lots of other goodies to get you on track and keep you on track.

But there is a catch! You have to be on my list to take advantage of those offers when they come. That is because I always give my newsletter subscribers first shot at anything I have coming up. You can sign up today by putting your name and email address in the box near the top right of this page.

2011 WILL be a great year!

Make it a great year for YOU!

The message in this week’s law of attraction video is a simple one: You are in control of your direction in life.

I love it when Esther and Abraham talk about trying to paddle upstream. I’ve been guilty of this myself, and every time that I notice my resistance to the flow of life and I stop and change my thinking, things turn around pretty quickly.

Sure there are lots of things that can distract you from your desires, and you can find yourself resisting the very changes that you want to manifest… but in the end, you will find that you, and you alone, are the one that chooses your path.

This is key to manifesting your desires with the law of attraction. Stop resisting your own efforts!

You resist for two main reasons – either you fear the coming change or you aren’t fully committed to the desire you are trying to manifest and you are hanging on to your old familiar ways.

In either case, as soon as you recognize the problem, you can take steps to correct it and get back on track.

You control your own stream of manifesting, and your power comes from being aligned with your desires and being in the flow, not from resisting them or allowing yourself to be distracted by all that stuff that is ‘upstream’.

Sometimes you will look back upstream and see all those missed opportunities in your life, all those wonderful chances that you let slip by, and you desperately want to go back and do it again. This is resisting.

There are many more opportunities to manifest your desires downstream! Downstream is the whole universe just waiting for you to step forward and claim what you want.

Set your sights on your biggest, grandest dream and never look back!

It's not magic! Learn how to create your day the law of attraction way.

Creating your day.  The law of attraction promises us the ability to literally do just that… to change the very fabric of our day, to have a BETTER DAY.

I was thinking about this concept today, as I was out running some errands. I was driving along in my car, half listening to a wonderful course from Bill Harris, half daydreaming, when I realized the fundamental problem most people have when they talk about creating their day.

They simply don’t have better days. At least not enough of them.

In their mind, they envision each day to be full of love and happiness and balloons and candlelit dinners and mailboxes full of fat checks…

…but the reality is that even after trying, REALLY TRYING to use all these wonderful techniques that they learn about from law of attraction books and teachers, even after meditating and getting centered and aligned and who knows what else…

They STILL have bad days.

So they blame the law of attraction or they blame the teacher, or they blame God or the universe.

But that doesn’t help either and soon they find themselves right back in the same mess they started with.

Here is the solution:

Creating your day, regardless of your beliefs about the law of attraction, is NOT about having everything go your way all the time, about the universe lining up to bring you desire after desire after desire. About day after day of bliss and happiness.

Creating your day IS about you learning to control your reactions to the events of your day. Because it is never the events that give you a hard time, it is always your reaction to events in your life that cause you to struggle.

The more control you take over your reactions the better you will be able to guide yourself into taking productive actions that actually help you move forward.

Enlightened people don’t have less problems than you. They have the same things happen to them as you do. They just look at those ‘problems’ in a different light. They react in a different way.

In every situation there is a way of thinking and acting that empowers you and helps you grow.

Your job is to find it and embrace it!

It will happen as soon as you stop TRYING to have a good day and simply decide that you will have a good day, in spite of whatever comes up.

Sometimes you need to pause and step back to see what is really going on. Sometimes you need an outside viewpoint, like a trusted friend or a mentor, to help you see the truth of your problems.

In either case, as soon as you are able to change the way you are looking at your problems and your ‘bad’ days, the sooner you will be able to transform them into ‘good’ days!

You don’t have to be a law of attraction expert to learn to create your day, you just have to be willing to change!

p.s. Creating your day with the law of attraction is one of the core lessons that we cover in the Inner Circle of Success.  The Inner Circle is our members-only self improvement study group and we’d love to have you join us!

Law of attraction key: Stop counting and start living!

In the last post, I shared a law of attraction video from Michael Losier, who talked about setting goals with the law of attraction. One of the things he said struck a chord with me, and with several readers as well. He said we tend to ‘keep score’, which distracts us from our original desire.

This is important. If you are busy keeping score, if you are always counting to see how close to your goal you are, then guess what?

You are slowing your own progress because you are no longer focused on your goal. Now you are focused on that area of lack that exists where your goal will eventually go.

As with most things related to the law of attraction, this seems to be a paradox, it seems to be an impossible task.

But the letting go of your desires so that they can manifest is, in fact, a natural way to live. It is much more stressful to be constantly checking to see if you have those ten new clients that you want, than it is to simply move towards those new clients isn’t it?

When an author sits down to write a 1,000 word article or a 50,000 word book, he or she doesn’t count each word along the way. Sure, they might check once in a while, but not all the time. If they did, they wouldn’t get any writing done. And they don’t just stop writing the instant that they hit 1,000 or 50,000 words either, the story they are telling may flow beyond those limits.

How often in your life have you found success when you stopped counting, stopped keeping score, and just focused on doing the thing that moves you forward? A lot I bet!

It happens to us all. The difficulty comes because we like keeping score, we like knowing just how far we have left. But when you keep your attention on the gap between your desires and your reality, the gap only grows bigger.

Let go of your dreams and live as if they are already real!
