7 Secrets To High Performance Thinking

Part 4 - Goal Setting



John Colanzi


So far we've discussed relaxation, visualization and autosuggestion. The fourth of our 7 secrets is goal setting.

Goal setting is actually an extension of our survival mechanism. All living things have survival mechanism.

From the tree whose leaves turn toward the sky before a rain to the birds who fly to warmer climates during the winter.

But as men and women we have an advantage. Plants, animals and insects have no control over the direction their lives take. It's preset for the survival of their species.

We on the other hand have the ability to take part in the shaping of our destinies. We can choose our path.

Our ability to think of the future and set goals gives us the ability to be the captains of our fates and the shapers of our destiny.

Sadly most of us tend to shrug off the power of setting goals and our lives end up being tossed to and fro like a ship in a storm.

Our high powered minds are programmed to help us achieve success, but we give it no direction.

We ride around with this high performance engine between our ears, and never take off the emergency brake.

If you truly want to become a high performance thinker, you should set goals that get you excited. Your goals should be big enough to motivate you, while still being believable.

Don't mistake daydreams for goals.

Don't mistake what will make others happy, for a goal that will get you excited.

It has to be your goal.

Start setting believable, achievable goals. Set a time limit on accomplishing your goals and set higher goals each time an old goal has been achieved.

Set up a reward system for achieving your goals on time.

Make reaching your goals a game. A treasure hunt.

If you've got time to root for your favorite sports team, I'm sure you have time to start rooting for you.

Setting and achieving your goals is the real Super Bowl.

Make yourself the MVP of your life.

In part five of this report we'll cover more Secrets Of High Performance Thinking.

Wishing You Success, John Colanzi
