Life Improvement Tips For The Wise Few

I have to go back, and I mean way back for you to understand how to set goals and really complete those goals. Goal setting is the biggest problem many are faced with today. Many of us just don’t understand how to set goals and the best way to make sure you reach any goal you set. I see goal setting as a form of getting what you wish for.

I want to take you back to your childish days, because kids are the best goal setters and they even don’t have a clue that they are doing that. From birth on we were already setting goals and at a certain time in life we all just stop. Some of us, just get back that focus and start going for gold once again, and once we master the process of getting what we want, we continue until we die.

As little babies, we had the first goal of rolling over, once we figured this out, we continued to roll over faster and faster until our parents just didn’t bother to look anymore. They were not excited form seeing us roll over again and again.

Next goal we accomplished was to pull ourselves up. We got stronger and stronger by just pulling ourselves up. Then we started to dabble at the walking stunt, falling, some of us fell on our face, burst our mouth, got knocked down many times. But, we kept going at it until that first step and then we walked across to Mommy or daddy.

Those were the goals we accomplished without even knowing that the were goals. We had a burning desire to get those things done, no one taught us how to do that, but we did it and we did it well.

So why do we stop setting goals?

The answer is really simple, and many of us just don’t understand why. We have lost that drive and the focus we had as toddlers. We have no visual stimulants to keep us going. We are literally killing our own dreams and sabotaging what we desire. Many of our friends and certain family members are keeping us down.

There is enough wealth in the world for all who desire wealth. Read that statement again. I said for all who desire wealth. Many of us don’t visualize what we want and never take any action. We sit and complain and waste energy, instead of just setting simple goals and getting off our “butts” and doing something to accomplish those goals.

The right way to set goals

I am not going to sit here and tell you to close your eyes, meditate, order those expensive goal setting CD’s online or write down those goals you wish to accomplish. I don’t believe in that type of mumbo jumbo bud ha stuff. I have written until my fingers grew numb and never ever got what I wanted. In one sentence: “All that stuff doesn’t work, forget about it.”

The way to go about getting what you want out of life is so easy that many don’t understand the process. You can wish for wealth or a certain amount of money, but if your not in tune with your wishes, then you won’t get a penny.

The way to accomplish your goals is to start small, with small goals, I mean something that is easy to visualize in your mind and easy to accomplish with your mind. If you feel that you can’t accomplish this goal with your mind, then that goal is out of your reach. You have to first set a goal that will be very easy to attain. Now visualize that goal in your mind, and see the exact steps you have to take in your mind at that moment to accomplish your goal. Every night while lying in your bed, you will picture that goal in your mind and assess what you did. Make adjustments if needed.

Once you have set that goal, then from now on we focus on the steps, we start with the steps that we outlined in our mind, and we will stay focused as our life depends on that one goal. We have to dedicate a certain amount of time each day to work on that one goal. We will not focus on any other goals but this one goal.

This should be pretty easy now. Because we have set a time each day to work on our goal and we are now focused on accomplishing this goal.

Don’t let distractions get in the way

The one obstacle that stands in our way is our own determination and the many distractions that we will face. If your half as serious as you were when you first set that goal, then you will have three times the strength you needed when you started. Many people will try to talk you out of it. All doubts and mind chatter will come forward, trying to steer you away from that goal. Yes, your own mind is your biggest enemy.

Your task is to make sure you do something daily which will bring you closer to your goal. Once your momentum kicks in, then I can assure you that even I won’t be able to stop you from getting to your goal.

Accomplishing goals works better when we are babies

I bet you can’t imagine why we were able to accomplish each goal we set out to get, before we could even comprehend the process of goal setting.

Babies and toddlers have the strongest determination that is unmatched by any grown up. The easy way to understand this is by picturing what goes through their mind. They are visualizing exactly what they want. They can’t speak, can barely comprehend, but, no matter how much you tell them to not try and walk, you would not be able to stop them.

The process lies in the fact that they didn’t tell you their plans. You won’t ever see a mother nor anyone as a matter of fact telling a baby that they shouldn’t try to walk. No one is trying to stop nor steal their dream from them.

You have to create the mindset of a toddler and go with such determination towards your goals. Keep it to yourself, and once you start to see progress, set the next goal. Once your focussed, nothing will be able to stop you.

So dig deep down in your soul and bring back the skills you were giving from birth. Set that goal and go for it. Don’t stop until you have accomplished that goal. I believe you can do it. Start believing in yourself.

This is one of the most complicated topics of getting more out of life, that I myself isn’t too sure about how this whole process works. But, I can say one thing and that is that it works. Once you believe and go about your life in such a way that you practically create your own new life without you even understanding how it works.

For many years I was having problems on my job, and I knew that I was much better than many of those guys they had in managerial positions, but for gold I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t making it or why I was being bypassed.

My salary just seemed to never make ends meet, I was honestly struggling, and wondering why the heck did I go through 4 years of college, and assuming that it was that way with everyone else. I was really living paycheck to paycheck, and couldn’t wait for the end of the month. This was an ongoing process, and month after month it just go tougher.

Then I really started browsing the web and looking for ways to improve my life, I was absorbing information like a sponge, I also got myself some books. It wasn’t until a good friend of mines, got me “The Secret“, that I finally understood what was happening.

Programming Your Mind For Success

I naturally started to focus my mind on great things, I would think of all the good things I wanted out of life. I literally stopped complaining, and kept telling myself it would get better. I pictured having a savings account with just $10,000 Dollars on it. started to see myself getting a raise and being offered a different job within the company.

From the many books I read over the years, I kept reading the same thing, what you think of all day is what you will attract to your life. My mind was really focussed on getting it all. I was trying to suppress any bad thoughts that would come into my mind.

Many of us don’t believe in this stuff, and so did I, but I no longer doubt what the universe has to offer, I believe that we can all change our lives, by first changing our daily thinking.

Stop thinking of all the bad things that life has to offer, If you see something really bad, picture the good part of that situation.

Stop wishing bad for others, it will only bring bad back to you.

Stop thinking of all the things you don’t like in your life, that will only bring more bad back into your life. Focus more on the things you want and they will come.

Picture the things you want and you will get them

One thing I have observed during the times things were great with me is I got what I wanted, but then I would stop dreaming and my life seemed to go on standstill. this process of getting everything you wish out of life isn’t easy, but you will have to remember it is an ongoing process, just keep your mind clean of bad thoughts and the good will follow.

Many people believe they just stumble into wealth, but first the process is created in your mind, and then it becomes reality. No one can just get wealthy without a dream.

My younger brother was chatting with me one day and asked me how come I am so lucky. I said you call it luck, but I call it “visual reality“.I told him you have to see it visually first before you can get it in any form or fashion. I told him you have to start with a dream and focus with so much determination that it will come true.

The Universe will grant you whatever you wish

He told me he wanted a car and wasn’t sure how to go about it. i told him well first visualize what you want, the color of the car, the model and type. I next gave him 200 Euro’s and told him this was the down payment, now he have to come up with the plan of how he was going to buy this car.

A couple months later he sent me a picture of his second hand car.

Now I can say this work, because it has worked for me also. Within a month, I got a check for the amount of Fls 17,900 guilders (U.S. $ 9,444). I wasn’t complaining, I was smiling, and wondering if this thing is for real. Next I was offered a position to work with another division, which I took. That gave me a yearly raise also.

I never question what happens, I am just always thankful.

For the next vision I have is to build a dream home on a hill in Belair in St. Maarten. I will send you pictures of the location of land. I will start setting up the plans for the house. And I have also been visualizing my new truck. Will sell my old car and get myself a brand new vehicle.

You first have to create the wealth in your mind and the universe will deliver what ever you wish on a golden platter, make sure that you have changed your way of thinking and is only focusing on great things.

Try this for yourself and let me know what wealth the universe sent your way?

I have worked in many departments within this company, and I now fully understand the mistakes many employees are making that are keeping them back, especially new employees are still on a trial period.

1. Spending too much time on the phone talking with friends and family

Have you ever seen that many employees just don’t care about how much time they spend on the phone. You walk up to a counter to pay your bills and the cashier just continues to talk on her cell phone like your not even there.

The secretary spends more time consulting with family and friends than she does with complaining clients. The boss is also observing your behavior, you will only hear about it when it’s time for evaluation. Another aspect I always admire, why do they have evaluation systems anyway? Many managers only evaluate you based on your last month performance, just before evaluation.

Learn to respect your job, and tell your family members that you will call them back when you have a break.

2. Spends all their time complaining

This is the number one killer in most companies, it is the amount of time the so called top workers spend complaining. They complain about everything, and no matter what you give them to do they find issues to complain about.

The best case I have witnessed, is when one colleague started complaining about her boss and how her boss never appreciates nothing she does. A minute later the boss steps in, and I said well now is your chance to approach him about your issues. She never did.

What’s the use complaining if your not going to face the boss. Spend productive time doing, and when anyone starts to complain just listen, don’t give any advice, you’ll be adding more fuel to their complaint lists.

3. Is never on time for work

The punch schedule of certain employees are so amazing that they don’t have a clue that they are always late. But, they are the first to leave for lunch, and the first to leave at the end of the work day.

If your coming to work late every morning, why not set your clock fifteen minutes ahead of time. That way you can leave on time, just don’t focus your mind on the fact that your clock is fifteen minutes ahead, just rush to leave at the same time you did before every other day.

4 . Complains about their salary is not enough

One employee does nothing but file papers, and they wish to have the salary of an Engineer. They rant all day long they are not paid enough, not ever realizing they signed the contract when they were looking for that job for the salary they now have.

If your complaining that your not being paid enough, then I think it’s time you start a home business. Do something extra to make up for the extra cash you need. Don’t complain about money, that isn’t going to help you.

5. The tail of many chiefs and not enough Indians

Everyone is a manger and everyone is giving commands, but nobody is taking the time to carry out their own functions. Have you seen how one employee has every other employee on that department in the palm of their hands. They get nothing done the right way, because they pass on every assignment they are giving to someone else.

Stop assigning your work and complaining, spend some time doing your own chores and less time chatting with everyone on the department.

6. Not following direct request from their managers

Start studying you manager style of management. You will be surprised to see that once you have figured out your boss, you will be able to deliver everything exactly the way they want and likes it.

7. Not listening enough

Are you a quick draw Mc. Graw, always quick to answer, but never listens. I was and it stunted my personal growth and my attitude showed. I was always good at solving issues, but a very bad listener.

If we would only learn to listen more than we speak, then we would all be moving up the ranks within our company. Stop seeing it as if you work for the manager, your working for the company and doing what’s best for the company will give you many pay raises.

Listen more, and come up with ideas that the company can use to grow. You will be amazed that the complainers never have anything good to say, and can never come up with any solutions. Give a complainer everything the wish, the highest salary and they would still complain.

Just be an active listener, and really observe what everyone else is doing, and you do the opposite. You will be surprised to see how much more your manager will appreciate that new approach.

Give mild criticism, and only do if you have a better idea that will solve the problem at hand. I was a victim of such myself. I had great ideas, but I never had a nice approach and would bring every idea forward in a hostile manner.

Lower your vice, pause when you speak, and present your idea. Act professionally and don’t let anyone intimidate you. Take your time from now on when speaking, listen first and then… pause before you answer.
