One Bite at a Time

Achieving a new goal means stretching yourself. Depending on the goal you have in mind, you may have to stretch far beyond your current comfort zone. Keep this in mind when you do set your goals, and also while you are striving to reach them.


If you are barely earning thirty thousand dollars a year at present, and you decide you want to increase this to $100,000, you have to realize this means you will have to make some significant changes in the way you have been doing things. Is it wrong to set such an ambitious goal for yourself? Not at all, but you will have to rethink your ideas of what you can do.


This seems obvious enough when you look at those who have already achieved what you want to achieve. Most people, however, have unrealistic expectations. They want the results without putting in the required transformation. Transformation is key, and it begins with your mindset.


When you imagine this goal having already been achieved, and you coax the corresponding emotions, and you dwell upon them until you manifest the feelings in your body that your goal is believable, you have done your part to initiate the manifestation process. From this point, you must remain open and free from negative energy, whether in the form of judgment, fear, or doubt, and be alert for ideas and opportunities that will surely come your way.


When these ideas come, you must act upon them immediately with faith in that doing so will definitely bring you closer to your coveted goal. If it is a big goal, you will likely have to pass through various steps that will get you closer, but not there. That is OK. Keep in mind that a journey of a thousand miles does begin with one step, but still many more steps will be required to complete the journey. Keep the faith.


It helps too, to celebrate the completion of each small step. Do something special for yourself, as this brings into focus the energy of gratitude. Gratitude will only work to accelerate your next steps. If you disdain the journey, you will find yourself losing motivation before you have arrived. Be grateful!


Big goals are good. But they can’t always be swallowed whole. Like eating an elephant, you can do it. How? One bite at a time.




Bon apetite,
