Back in 2007, like millions of other people around the world, I ordered and watched a DVD called "The Secret." This was my first introduction to The Law of Attraction which, apparently, every successful individual has been using to reach goals since, I don't know, maybe since the concept of goals was invented. In a nut shell, the secret is that thoughts become things, and we get more of what we focus on. It's not all that mystical really when you think about it. Although dreams and desires and motivations may live in our hearts, thought is what makes them conscious and allows us to act on them. Consciousness and clarity are key.
Looking Back at 2010
Although the first chapter of "The Law of Success" deals with the aforementioned Mastermind Concept, which isn't really all that odd, it simply teaches that where two or more minds work in harmony much more can be accomplished than when we work alone. (Gee, that kind of sounds like social support, doesn't it?) It is the second chapter that I want to focus on today. This chapter encourages the reader to have a "Definite Chief Aim." That beings us to the New Year's Revolution. What better place to start practicing the principals of success than with your health and your body? It's sensible, it's practical, and it works. If you go back a few posts, you'll read how important it is to take a before picture to help insure your success. This picture represents point A in your journey, but the Definite Chief Aim is your destination. You must know where you are going if you're going to have any kind of confidence in your ability to get there.
I hear plenty of people say that New Year's Resolutions aren't very useful, but a Definite Chief Aim certainly is! When I look back at the three Turbulence Training challenges I've placed in, my game plan has always started with a Definite Chief Aim.
What is your D.C.A.? Make it vivid, specific, and most of all make it compelling. Make sure it's something wonderful and desirable that will pull you along with it into the life you truly want. Later, I'll write about why everyone around you will benefit when you reach your D.C.A for health. For now I want you to dream big and dig deep. If I can do it, you can. And by the way, Happy New Year!
Catherine another great post, thank-you. I have yet to read Hill's book. I had best put it on my 2011 list.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sexy picture of you. (I hope that is okay to sa.) The weights instead of just flexing create a great effect.
All the best for you and yours in 2011. Happy New Year.
I love reading your blog... you do a great job of inspiring!
