Goals: Why You Keep Missing Them
“Iām not going to do this any more.”
I probably first came up with that personal mantra when I was a child, but as a grown up I used it whenever I caught myself under-achieving.
I made myself succeed in life.Ā Success wasnāt natural to me, neither was happiness.
As a teenager, I shrank – and drank – myself into the shadows at parties.Ā I was painfully shy around the opposite sex.
Later in life, my poor self belief showed up as an ability to accrue debt.
The result was, as Tony Robbins would put it ⦠pain!
Lonely and broke is NOT fun – but I was faced with that squirmful (new word!) combination often enough that I felt compelled to take action.
But what action?
I had all I needed to be happy and successful – I could see that.
Decent job, decent personality, good sense of humour, reasonable looks and good health.Ā All the boxes that women would need ticked if they were looking for a guy on a dating site these days, I imagine.
(Sorry, ladies – Iām happily spoken for nowadays!)
The problem, I eventually realised, was that all of those things are on the outside.
Inside, I just didnāt believe I had what it took to really succeed at anything.Ā Iād get so far ⦠(I mean I wasnāt a total loser or anything) ⦠but then Iād hit my glass ceiling.
One day, it struck me that THAT was what it was!
A belief – nothing more – that I didnāt have that mysterious āsomethingā to reach my goals, find lasting love or achieve big dreams.
With that realisation, I then asked myself the BIG question that turned it all around for me.
That question was: What is it that I DO have thatās causing me to succeed as far as I do?
Aha!
As I let that question marinate in my mind, an answer popped up – as one always does.
It was because Iād always āknownā I was intelligent!
Now, WHY did I put āknownā in quotes?
The answer to that is the key to your future success ⦠in love, in business, whatever you want ⦠so keep reading because Iām going to explain in a moment.
First, let me point out what may have already struck you as obvious.
You canāt fall in love intellectually.
And itās not too likely that youāre going to impress a girl at a (somewhat drunken) party by being smart.
In fact, sheāll just see you as a āsmart-arseā ⦠and sheād be about right!
Right?
Even with my career, I could get good jobs because intelligence will take you a fair way – in interviews and even promotions.
But there comes a point when you need other qualities – confidence, even courage sometimes, spontaneity, a happy disposition!Ā (Who wants a philosopher at a party?)
So, you see, I may have been bright, but I was also dull!
(And you thought they were opposites!)
Hereās where I tell you about why I put āknownā in quotes, (back when I said Iād always āknownā I was intelligent – in case youāre skim reading this!)
The reason is because I was told itĀ when I was tiny.Ā My mother told me.Ā Some of my first teachers said it – I think.Ā I vaguely recall that one of them may have said it to my mother at some school parents event, and I overheard.
But no one ever said I was creative or spontaneous or courageous ⦠or any of the qualities I needed to achieve at higher and greater levels.
And thatās when I figured out I could give myself any qualities I needed ⦠using a kind of self hypnosis.
(I was a trained hypnotherapist by then).
And so I came up with a process that gently took me back in time and āinstalledā the qualities I wanted.
Some stuck pretty much first time, others I had to repeat a handful of times, but as the process only takes around 15 minutes, itās hardly a chore!
The results speak for themselves.
Today – and for many years now – Iāve been blissfully married.
I do what I love for a living and am beholden to no one.
(Which means I can get up whenever I like and work all day in my carpet slippers – which I frequently do!)
I called the process āThe Core Image Processā and Iāve put my utterly biased review in a video for you which you can see below – and so you can get a flavour of what youāre getting.
