You can't be the kid stopping at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.

~~ Tina Fey

Don't you get aggravated with those kids? Many adults are just like those kids when they have projects and goals they want to accomplish. They get engaged in the analysis of the goal and what needs to get down. They often go through a lot of research.

I have heard someone say that 99% of Research is Procrastination. I think that may be close to the truth. We get into so much planning, we get into analysis paralysis. Motion is not action. We can move things around and around but never get things done.

Don't be the kid at the top of the waterslide overthinking things.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

- Ben Stein

I wish I could read the quote with Ben Stein's voice. He is so funny; the dry, deadpan humor that Ben Stein uses for his character is hilarious.

Funny as he may be, the message of his quote is not. The fact is, if you don't know where you want to go, how to you know when you get there. When you go on a drive across the country, do you just get on a highway and go? Not likely. First you have to have a destination. You have to know where you want to go.

Of course, you could be like Pascqual Perez back in the 1982 in Atlanta. Perez was a pitcher from the Dominican Republic playing for the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta has an interstate highway that circles the city. On August 19th 1982, Perez got on I-285 to drive to the game that day. He circled the city 3 Times trying to locate Atlanta - Fulton County Stadium. He ran out of gas on the way and ended up 10 minutes late for the game in which he was starting.

Perez knew where he wanted to go that day, but he didn't define his path, how to get there. He just got on the road and drove. . . for 3 hours - 3 times around the city. That ended up being his legacy. He was always remembered as Perimeter Perez.

Don't circle your goal because you don't know what you want or how to get there.

I love going to Motivational Seminars! I get so excited when I hear the speaker talking about how I should Dream Big! Set those Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals! Dream Big - Dream Often!

Have you ever walked out of a motivational seminar so excited, that your heart is pumping faster, tears come to your eyes and you get that feeling in your gut that makes you want to just go out and do what it takes to achieve your dream?

I have! I do! Every time I go to a seminar about something that I want to do or be I get excited. Maybe I'm just over emotional. But I love the excitement of working hard to achieve my dreams. You have to have dreams. You have to have Big Dreams!

I used to go home excited and start thinking about my dreams and what I needed to do to achieve those dreams. I would read the speakers books, I would listen to their tapes (yes, I said tapes. I started with these dreams since I was a kid, back when motivational "Tapes" were the thing).

I never seemed to succeed at my dreams. I tried, I studied and I read all of the top motivational books. I never seemed to get above 2nd place in anything. I never was #1 in the things I tried to excel at.

When I started studying martial arts, I wanted to excel at it. We practiced several meditation techniques and mental awareness methods to be able to perceive danger. I was fascinated by what my mind was capable of doing. This lead me to want to learn more about the mind and how it worked. I signed up for a hypnosis class nearby. I started learning more and more about the subconscious mind and how it worked. I went on to complete the entire program and graduated and became a trained hypnotherapist.

After working with one of the therapists, I learned that my mind had me thinking I was only 2nd best. It went back to internal feelings that my mother cared more for my sister than me. This went back to things that occurred in my childhood and was totally unfounded, BUT, my subconscious mind kept the thought that I was only #2, not #1.

Therefore, I could never achieve #1 status in anything I tried. There were other beliefs that my subconscious mind held as truths or "knowns" that weren't necessarily accurate, but were beliefs that it held. I found out that my subconscious mind believed one thing and because of that, it wouldn't let me achieve something counter to that belief.

If I set a goal and tried to achieve that goal, my own subconscious mind would sabotage my efforts to achieve that goal. It was like it just jumped up and slapped the ball away before it went into the net!

Are you struggling with this? Are you trying to achieve your goals but don't seem to be able to Get The Goals You Set?

Are you attending motivational seminars, reading all of the great self-help books to stay motivated and inspired?

Does it seem like every time you try to Achieve Your Dream that it you just fall short? Maybe your mind is playing goalie for the other team, too.

Maybe you want to achieve your goals, your dreams. Why can't you?

The Biggest Enemy of Change - Homeostasis

The most powerful force in nature - the innate drive to stay the same.

When we get too hot, the body sweats to cool off.

When we get too cold, the body shivers to generate warmth.

It's not just at the physiological level, but mental as well. It's all about a Life Script. 98% of what we did is Automatic.

We Walk, Talk, Breath automatically. We don't have to think about it! The Body Does It, Automatically.

Homeostasis wants us to stay the same. To stay according to what is Known to our Subconscious Mind

At birth our subconscious mind is blank, it is an "open book" ready for writing our life script.

Our primary caretakers have a great impact on our belief systems and what gets put into our subconscious mind as Knowns.

Our subconscious mind reacts to Knowns and Unknowns. When our mind is in this open state, anything that goes into our subconscious mind is a Known. It doesn't really matter what that belief is.

Who is a primary caretaker? Parent's, babysitters, religious leaders, authority figures, etc. are typically the primary caretakers. The persons or entity that spends the most time with or exerts the most attention on the child. This can be people or things.

Things? Yes, Television, Radio, etc. can be that authority figure, or primary caretaker. Do your children spend all day in front of the TV watching people that you tell them are people they should watch and / or listen to? They are transferred authority figures.

As we grow from ages 0-6 years old, we start learning our beliefs, as knowns in the subconscious mind. The beliefs of our family, relatives, authority figures, etc., our Primary Caretakers enter our subconscious mind as knowns. These beliefs can be positive or negative, but they become knowns to our mind.

If our primary caretakers have the belief that "Money is the root of all evil." or "Rich people don't care about anyone but themselves," and they teach that belief system with us at this age, there is a likelihood we will have that belief ingrained in our subconscious mind.

Even if that negative belief isn't transferred from one to another, a "positive" belief like "we don't need a lot of money, we are happy with what we have", may end up becoming a limiting belief in our subconscious mind. This limiting belief could later manifest itself in such a way that when we try to set a goal to be wealthy or to make a higher level of income from what our family knew, our subconscious mind can sabotage our attempts to achieve those goals.

Around the age of 6-8, our mind starts developing the Critical Mind Filter. This is the time where the subconscious mind start creating the blocking mechanism to prevent unknowns from registering with the mind and rejecting new beliefs or attempts to change our behaviors.

The subconscious mind hates unknowns, regardless if they are negative or positive. The same way it accepted positive or negative beliefs as knowns, it will reject unknowns whether positive or negative.

The Critical Mind Filter will reject changes that are unknown to it.

Let's say you want to increase your income and you and your family have never had anyone that made more than minimum wage earnings. If you were to start trying to set goals to increase your income, to get a better job that could pay more than what you "know", your mind could start doing things to sabotage those goals.

Many of the common fears that we are aware of such as Fear of Failure, Fear of Success, Fear of Poverty, the Impostor Syndrome are attempts by the subconscious mine and the Critical Mind Filter to block our attempts to put beliefs and thoughts that are Unknowns into our mind.

I am renaming the "Goal Getting, Don't Just Set'em, Get'em Program" to the "Goal Achievement Success System" because it is a system that teaches techniques and tools to bypass the Critical Mind Filter and get new positive, goal achieving , success beliefs into the subconscious mind.

The system teaches the 9 Steps to Successful Goal Achievement (get your Free Copy of the 9 Steps Poster Here) that use the steps that people know as S.M.A.R.T. Goals and expands them to include steps that directly impact and affect the subconscious mind and bypass the critical mind filter.

These 9 Steps are put into a 3 Keys to Goal Getting Success that teach you how to create goals and then begin a process to put the goals into actionable plans for successful achievement.

• The What - Defining What You Want to Achieve
• The How - How Do You Get The Goal You Set
• The Why - Why Do I Want To Achieve My Goal

These 3 Keys to Goal Getting Success are the framework for learning how to start changing the limiting beliefs in our subconscious mind into success seeking, goal-oriented, powerful beliefs that will help you Get The Goals You Set! These 3 Keys will get you ready to start changing your subconscious mind into a Mental Bank that will increase your beliefs systems on money, success and happiness.

The Mental Bank Method

The Mental Bank Method of the Goal Achievement Success System will begin working on bypassing the critical mind filter to start changing the negative, limiting beliefs into positive, life changing beliefs. This proven method has changed incomes and lives for many people.

We will cover this Mental Bank Method starting in the next episode, so join us next week as we start learning how to have the best year of your life.

"I've found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. . . Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You've got to take risks. You will fail at some point in your life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass yourself. You will suck at something. There is no doubt about it. . . Never be discouraged. Give everything you've got. And when you fall throughout life . . . fall forward."

~~ Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors. He plays some of the best characters. I have watched "Man on Fire" over and over again. It's a great story, but Denzel's acting is exceptional.

Today's quote from Denzel Washington expresses an important thought about life. We may have bad times, failures, times when things don't go our way. The key, Denzel expresses is that when these things happen, we have to Fall Forward! What does he mean by falling forward?

If you think about football for example, when the players have the ball and are running with the ball toward the goal line, they will often get tackled. Even though they try their hardest, give it all they've got, they will sometimes fall. But if you notice them, when they are falling, they do everything they can to FALL FORWARD. They fight to move the ball forward toward the goal line to get even the smallest inch closer to the goal.

When we have our goals defined, when we know what we want, we sometimes have to take risks. When we fall, and we often fall. The key to our success is to fall forward. Move a little closer to our goal.

This is why we shouldn't be afraid. There are two possibilities: one is that there's more to life than the physical life, that our souls "will find an even higher place to dwell" when this life is over. If that's true, there's no reason to fear failure or death.

The other possibility is that this life is all there is. And if that's true, then we have to really live it - we have to take it for everything it has and "die enormous" instead of "living dormant," as I said way back on "Can I Live." Either way, fear is a waste of time.

~~ Jay Z

I love music and and listen to a lot of great musicians of all types and genres. If you check my playlist you will find a broad range of music. I listen to music that does something for me.

I love quotes that move me as well. I love quotes that move me, that do something for me. Jay Z creates great music, great business, and great quotes. The quote is inspiring because it brings up a point.

Don't be afraid! Fear is a waste of time. Whatever that fear is, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of public speaking, fear of bees (there's a story to that - listen to Episode 6 - Shoo Bee Doo Bee Doo Bee Doo ), it is a waste of your time to let it bother you and keep you from doing what you need to do to achieve your goals.

I like Jay Z's points. There are two possibilities - That there is a higher calling to life, and so there is no reason to fear failure or death. If we have a higher calling and we can expect to dwell in a higher place than we can only strive to achieve higher things while we are here.

The other possibility is that there is nothing bigger than now! If we only have this one life, this one chance, then as Jay Z says, We need to really live it! We need to strive to take life and run with it. We need to "die enormous" not in a mediocre life, "living dormant" as Jay Z says. Wouldn't you rather die remarkable than mediocre.
