Using you goal-setting power

One of the reasons we struggle to achieve our goals is because we are not
aligned between the intellectual idea of the goal and the emotional desire
to achieve it. An intellectually formulated goal without the corresponding
desire is merely wishful thinking. The reality is that when we put
intellect and emotion together we create the power of belief and belief
motivates action. Of course, if we don't believe we can achieve it, the
result is inaction or wrong action. Whatever we can believe, we can achieve
is true. Having a goal with an action plan is the first step; however,
having the desire, the want to, is critical to success and the confidence to
do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Another reason that we fail to achieve our goals is because, consciously or
unonsciously, we believe ourselves to be unworthy of the thing we say we
want. Our ability to develop genuine confidence and a true sense of
self-worth is a vital part of the process. Since self-worth, high or low,
often works on the unconscous level, this can be a tough issue. It's not
often easy to know if unworthiness is causing our failure to achieve. For
example, if you come from a generation of poverty, your unconscious computer
may be blocking your ability to believe that you can achieve wealth or even
a higher standard of living. In this case, set little achieveable goals in
order for your inner mechanism to accept the progression to a higher
standard of living, bit by bit. If your life experience has been colored by
failures and miss-deeds, it will likely be harder for you to achieve what
you desire, unless and until your correct the inner picture. More on
correcting the picture later.

Good day and good work,

Norman
