If you are reading this and you have goals you have not achieved. It's because the first thing is that we have not selected your Everest.
Your Everest is that goal you look up to so high and mighty that if you were able to achieve, your life would be totally transformed. I mean like 360 degrees
My reason for writing this short ebook is to help you select the right Everest.
Now you've probably heard your goals should be SMART
SPECIFIC
MEASURABLE
ATTAINABLE
REALISTIC
TIME BOUND
Have you actually tried this and seen it work? If yes, congratulations.
But there's more. I have something almost foolproof I use that can help. Just read on.
Please note that these are things that work for me and I believe that if you believe, it will unfailingly work for you too.
I always start with the question: Why! then What! then When! and then How!
Why am I doing this? What am I doing? I can tell you that you have entertained more what than why's because Its easy to, however, that's the wrong approach forever.
Too many of us have started things before we begin to address the reason WHY. Some have started relationships, joined groups, signed agreements, given to drugs, alcohol, excessive movie watching or gaming, let their guard down to fornication, left issues unattended to, embraced frenemies, and the list goes on and on and when you ask why they start crying or sobbing because the reasons we're not worth it at the end of the day.
They didn't see the repercussions as being worse. I shock you by saying If you can answer why before what then you will most likely achieve your goal.
Now how do you get to WHY. Its simple, think and think very
deeply them write the answer to something you want to do on a note.
I feel like ..... So I want to....
I assume that .... So I want to....
I am hoping that .... So I want to....
Someone said that .... So I want to....
I read that... So I want to ....
I saw.... So I want to ....
When you do this you will begin to see the reasons why you did some things. From here you can now decide if the -what is gonna turn your life around for good and not for worse!
Trust me it's not as easy as you think. You have to actually try it and then you'll understand.
