Many of us want to make changes in our lives – I am sure you do to.

Maybe it is to stop smoking, lose weight, earn more money, change job, stop procrastinating or any number of things.

Most people try to make changes in their life and find it hard and even fail.  They try their hardest and do everything they can in order to succeed and find that they get nowhere.  Or maybe they make the change for a few days and then start to slip back into the old habits.

There’s a reason for this and one you can relatively easily overcome.

You have a conscious mind and a sub-conscious mind and in order for any change to take place they have to both “agree” on the change and the desired outcome.

Your conscious mind is the part that is chatting away to you all day long.  It is constantly asking questions and evaluating everything that goes on.

Your sub-conscious mind is the part that runs your body.  It controls your breathing, your heartbeat, your fingernails growing.  It is surprisingly powerful and compared to the conscious mind very quiet.

You can consciously decide to make changes in your life but if your sub-concious does not agree then you are setting yourself up for failure, unless you can convince it otherwise.

The best way to change your sub-conscious mind is to use subliminal hypnotic messages.  These can be listened to at pretty much any time and whereas your conscious mind hears music or other backgrounds sounds your sub-conscious hears the embedded subliminal messages and changes start to happen.

You may wake up one morning and suddenly feel different or you may start to notice differences.

The procrastinator finds themselves naturally making decisions and taking action – without consciously thinking of it.

The smoker finds themselves wanting to smoke less – without really thinking about it.

The dieter finds themselves eating less and more healthily – without really thinking about it.

I’ve been in business for many years now and I’ve seen people come and go.  I’ve seen businesses succeed and fail, and there is one thing that I’ve noticed about all else.

Easy is not necessarily the easiest path!

So many people set about doing something because they think it will be easy.  However, the easy things are usually chased by most people who are also thinking it’s the easy option.

When you set your goals and dreams for your life, if you make them too easy you are going to be struggling for attention with the thousands and millions of other people who are all heading for the easy option.

There are many people who want to become a millionaire or earn a six figure income.  Lots of people shoot for that goal and the arena is crowded.

How many people aim to be a billionaire?  Or a decamillionaire (ten million) or more?

Very few.

This will sound odd to you, but it is actually easier to achieve a harder goal than it is an easy goal.

If your goal is too easy you don’t put in the effort, there is the temptation to sit on your laurels and wait for it to happen.

If your goal is hard then you have a challenge, something to aim for, something you KNOW you have to work to achieve.

There is an ancient Chinese proverb which has always stuck in my mind since the day I heard it.  It is one I often say to people and get the strangest of looks.

“May all your dreams come true, except one”

Someone who has achieved all their dreams (goals) has nothing to live for.  It is that striving for a goal, the need to achieve that tells us we are alive.  Mankind, as a race, has developed through struggle.

In times of peace and easy living, mankind stagnates and doesn’t feel the need to push forward as a whole.  A few individuals do and will continue to strive, but they have their own driving factors.

You should always have a goal that is just outside of your reach, something that you need to stretch out for because it will give you a reason for living, it will make you feel alive and it will keep pushing you forwards.

When you are setting your goals and working out what you want from life, dream big.  If you don’t ask, you won’t get.

There is less competition for the big dreams, less people who try for them, which bizarrely, makes them much easier to achieve!

Ultimately, there is one thing you need to do if you want to succeed.

Doesn’t matter what it is you want to succeed at, whether it is being a millionaire, being happy, building a business, or finding the partner of your dreams.

There is just a single thing you need to do.

You need to focus on it with laser like intensity and make sure your every waking moment is focused on it.

Weigh up every action you take and see if it will take you closer or further away from your desired target.  If it will take you closer, do it.  If it won’t, don’t. 

Simple huh?

In real life it is much harder for people because life gets in the way or they don’t actually know what it is they want.

Life is full of distractions, it’s one of the great things about it, and if you let it, life will distract you completely from your desired goal and you’ll never get there.  Or at the very least, you’ll realise you didn’t get there just a little bit too late.

Life is going to throw curve balls at you and try to take you away from your desired goal.  It’s going to happen, but if you really want to get there then you need to focus your mind on it and make it happen.

Some years ago I decided I wanted to build a successful business and make a difference in people’s lives.  I sat down and worked solid for about two weeks on a plan and building a business.

Then life interfered and I got distracted and started working half heartedly on the business.

Two years later I realised I was no closer to my goal so started to work furiously again towards it.  Life again distracted me and I got caught up in everything else and my goal slipped to the back of my mind.

This cycle repeated itself a half dozen times before I realised what was going on and decided to make some serious changes.

I sat down and made a proper step by step plan to reach my goal and spent time every single day working towards it.  I will sit up after midnight just to do my actions for the day so I get closer to my goal.  I will get up at 5am in order to do what I need to do for the day.

I am constantly thinking about my goals and life still distracts me and gives me other things to think about.  My little boy has chicken pox now and a cold and isn’t very well, but I write this as I sit near his room ready to go in to him when he disturbs in his sleep.

Anthony Robbins is known for saying “If you are committed you will find a way” and at the time I first heard this (8 years ago) I disagreed and had lots of excuses.  I had lots of “I can’ts” and good reasons (read excuses) why he was wrong.

It’s only in the last few months that I’ve really understood what he meant by this.  When you stop making excuses to yourself (and that’s the only person you are making excuses to) and focus your intention laser like at your goal then you will find a way.

You will do whatever it takes when it stops being a nice to have to something you’d like to do and becomes an absolute must.  When this happens, the excuses stop, the distractions fade and you make it happen.

Think about the things you want in life and ask yourself this …

1)  Do you really want it?  I mean really, can’t live without having it, want it?

2)  What do you need to do in order to make it happen?

3)  How can you make this happen?

You may be surprised how much slack time you have in your day to make your dreams come true.  Read books in the toilet.  Listen to audio programs in the car when commuting to work.  Switch the TV off and work towards your goal.  Find a mentor to help you.

If you are committed then you will find a way.

I promise you.

Decide what you want.

Commit to it.

Take whatever steps you need in order to get there.

What do you want in life and how committed are you?  Are you going to achieve it?
