I Want I Want I Want

I Want, I Want, I Want

When it comes to making changes and achieving goals in your life, the process is actually quite simple. We complicate the matter by – well, complicating the matter. So let's take something basic and simple you do everyday and analyze the "success" process.

Each and every day of your life you "get hungry." And when you get hungry you ask yourself, "What do I want to eat?" After asking this question your brain scans the data and comes up with a mental image of a specific food. Once you see that image in your mind you say something like this, "Yeah, I want that." Then guess what you do? Yet get up and do whatever it takes to eat the food that you chose.

Now, in case you think this is overly simplistic, you're right. And this exact sequence is precisely what you go through when you want to accomplish matters more serious than your next meal. Ask yourself, "What do I want?" Once you get the answer in the form of a mental image, mentally choose it by saying, "Yes, I want that." Then do whatever it takes to bring it into your reality.
