Setting goals for what you think is probable.

We had some experiences and the world responded to us.  Based on those early experiences we drew a box around ourselves and said “That’s who I am”.  We’ve been acting that way ever since.

But is it true?

Now we set goals based on what we think is probable for us, instead of what is possible, because we don’t believe in what is really possible – because of the “box”; the identity we accepted as real.

But that is all phony.  It’s only real for us because we bought in.  We believed it. 

The reality is the world was just giving us feedback – when you do this, they like it this much – you get these results.  But it was so early in the game when we weren’t as good, and didn’t know much – or at least as much as others around us at the time and place.

If we give up our story of who we are, and stop going for what we think is probable, we can go for what we really want instead.

Suspend doubt

If you aren’t going to believe you can do it, then at least don’t believe you can’t.

You are unqualified to say what you can and can not do.

If you want it bad enough, you can.

Do you?

You were wrong about you

If someone told you that you are playing too small and are more able and powerful than you are showing, would you argue with them?

I am telling you that right now.

If you argue, that’s not very smart.  If you don’t, then you should do some serious thinking about how you are showing up each day and what you are going for.  

?

There's no suitcase to get out of here.

Are you being your best self?

Results are reflections

Pretend there is a mirror in front of you all day long.  

How are you showing up?

Your body talks – to you.

Body language is both a cause and effect of emotion.

If you are feeling down, your body will droop.  Conversely, if you droop your body, you will start to feel down.

Knowing this, you can create positive emotions by putting your body in a position to create the positive emotions you want.  

Upright, chin up, smile, shoulders back…you can get in-state for a meeting or sales call or presentation – or if you just want to feel better.

Move your body right and it will send a signal to your brain – “I am happy, confident and feeling strong and powerful” and your brain will believe it and make you feel that way.

Direction over time = destination

If a plane is a few degrees off course, after 3000 miles it winds up in a very different place.

So it is with you.  

Financial, health, eating, exercise, relationships, skills….

Can you make minor course corrections in your habits that will make a big difference over time?

What do you expect for the rest of your life?

We make our expectations come true.

After all you have been through and all you have learned, what are your expectations for the rest of your life?

Change your expectations, change your life.

How old do you feel?

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was?” – Satchel Paige

Well, what do you say?

Think better than the average guy

Your brain is 2% of your body weight and takes 20% of the energy (20 watts of power).

So you should eat well, sleep well, and take care of your body so you can think better than the average guy.

Better thinkers win.
