Why You Need to Set Big and Compelling Goals if You Want to Achieve Great Results
If you have ever heard Tony Robbins speak on the power of goal setting, you know what I’ll be talking about next.
Many of us often complain about not having a meaningful life or not being able to manifest our goals the way we want to or not feeling empowered enough. We feel something is missing out from our life and little do we realize that the reason we fail to build an empowering life for ourselves or achieve financial success is that we haven’t set compelling goals based around these things.
Even if you have set a few goals for yourself but haven’t been able to achieve them, that’s mainly because those goals aren’t compelling and powerful enough to drive you towards them.
What are Compelling and Meaningful Goals
A goal is an objective that you would like to achieve. If your objective is to just somehow pay your rent and manage the utility bills, you will end up doing just that and nothing more. If your goal is to earn enough to buy a new television this month, you will somehow end up fulfilling this goal.
So whatever your goal is, you’ll somehow convince and force yourself to achieve it. If you don’t want to just live from one paycheck to another and want to do something great with your life, you need to set a truly meaningful and compelling goal for yourself.
A meaningful goal is one that adds meaning, value and empowerment to your life- one that transforms your life and makes you feel truly proud of yourself. A compelling goal is a goal that pulls you towards itself. Imagine being around a magnet that is so strong that you have no choice but to be drawn towards it.
Naturally, when it draws you towards it, you’ll involuntarily move towards it and it won’t stop until it has completely captured you. That magnet will use all its force to bring you towards it and in the end it will be united with you. That is exactly the power of a compelling goal. It draws you towards itself like a super-strong magnet and it doesn’t let you rest unless you have accomplished it.
If you wish to do something truly brilliant with yourself and transform it completely, it is these two ingredients you need to infuse into your goals: dream and think big to set a meaningful goal and to make it compelling enough for you to become drawn towards it.
How Compelling and Meaningful Goals Help Us Succeed
When you convince your mind that you must achieve something, it then becomes completely involved in that goal and helps you unleash and use your full power to achieve it.
So if you tell yourself you have to just pay your bills and make sure to have food on the table, you will somehow find ways to do that even if you lose your job or go through some financial troubles.
Similarly, if you convince yourself that you must make a $10,000 in a month and you must fulfill that goal at any cost, your mind will find ways to help you achieve that.
In one of his talks, Tony Robbins talks about a woman who was confident to make $10,000 in 7 weeks. Although Tony Robbins did not believe at that time that she could achieve that goal, that woman’s unwavering belief in her goal made him believe in her goal too and he asked her to keep visualizing that she had already achieved this goal.
She was extremely confident in her belief and had made that goal a must-have. After 6.5 weeks, she won a lottery and with that a whopping $10,000 too.
Her unwavering belief took over her mind and forced it to create strong, positive thoughts that went out in the universe and drew similar experiences towards her. It was her strong belief and compelling goal that made her achieve it.
Now I know we cannot just think hard about winning big at a lottery and lotteries are a lot about luck, but the point that I want to stress is that it is important to think big and believe completely in your goal.
Those who set big goals and project themselves accomplishing those objectives will one day or the other find themselves at the point where they thought they would be.
The opposite of this would be all those people who keep on lamenting about their past mistakes and strongly believe their lives will never change for the better and guess what happens to them? They strongly believe their life won’t get any better and so manifest a life characterized by poverty and hardships for good.
You see, belief is actually extremely powerful and the brain chemist that brews up different concoctions of belief in our minds. When you blend belief with the vibration of your thoughts, you encourage your subconscious mind to pick up that particular vibration and translate it into your reality.
If you want to improve your life and be the real boss of it, think and dream big and believe in your goals. The more positive your thoughts and the stronger your faith is, the quicker you will achieve your goals.
Don't Give Up
I am sure you know of Bill Gates and maybe even the story of his failure with Traff-O-Data which was his first business venture. The company failed miserably but that did not stop from Gates from dreaming big. He still had big plans for himself and kept powering through. It was his faith that helped him create Microsoft and see where it took him.
Quite an inspirational story, right! The inspiration we need to take from this example and many others like these is that to achieve something big, whatever it is, we need to truly believe in that goal so that it compels us towards it.
Only when a goal is meaningful and compelling enough that it becomes our must-have can we actually achieve it and build an empowering life for ourselves.
So whatever it is that you want to achieve, a huge mansion, a business that earns you a million bucks monthly or anything else- please believe in that goal and make it compelling enough for yourself so you know you have no choice but to achieve it.
