Why Goal Setting Sucks!

8 October, 2008

Hello and welcome to our teleseminar on why goal setting sucks. We will be starting within the next one minute. You might want to start getting comfortable right now. Hello. If you have just joined us online, I’d like to welcome you to our teleseminar on why goal setting sucks. If you have been setting goals or new year resolutions in the past on paper, and hoping for a successful outcome, forget it. Most new year resolutions go bust before the month is over. And most don’t even... you won’t even remember within the next six months. And you are about to discover the reasons why goals don’t work. Dear friends, what you’re going to discover is only known to 5% of the human population. Do you have what it takes? Are you ready to enter into the doorway of this 5%? What is the best kept secret of human civilization when it comes to goal setting? Losing weight is one of the most popular goals people set. Why? Simply because hardly anyone sets this goals and achieves it. The weight just keeps coming back, and you wonder why. Let us tell you why. The human nature is built to protect and conserve what's theirs. When you lose something, what is naturally your instinct? You find it back. When you set a goal to lose weight, your innate ability residing deep within your unconscious mind immediately picks up the need to recover what's lost. And there you go... the weight you just lost painstakingly finds its way back in the easiest manner. Hello. My name is Dev and I’m speaking to you live from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’ve had the great fortune and the rare privilege to work with one of the greatest, the world’s authority on how the mind works, Bob Proctor. You would know him from the world famous DVD "The Secret" that has taken the world by storm. If you haven’t already seen it, you might want to catch it. Now, my master, Bob Proctor, has been working with the power of the mind, which we covered in the last session. I’d like to welcome you to this second edition, the second session in a series of six teleseminars. Today’s title is "Why Goal Setting Sucks". I would like to welcome all our listeners from all over the world. I would like to welcome a very special guest to this session, Mardi Fleet from Australia. Mardi, if you’re listening, welcome. Now, the reason why I’d like to give a special welcome to our friend Mardi Fleet is because over the last 17 years, we have been working with the model of the mind with the body called The Stickman, or The Stickman Concept. Now, what is so special about the Stickman Concept and Mardi Fleet is that her grandfather originated the concept of the Stickman sometime around in 1934. Her grandfather, Dr. Thurman Fleet, of St. Antonio, Texas, was the founder of concept therapy. And my master, Bob Proctor, has been teaching the concept of the Stickman over the last 40 years. And we ourselves have been teaching it for the last 17 years. And we have the great fortune to meet Mardi Fleet through our emails in the last one year. And today she’s our guest and we’d like to take this opportunity to welcome her as our very special guest. Welcome aboard. And the rest of you listeners out there, welcome to our second series of seminars on goals. If you missed out on our last seminar, the first in the series, on "Awaken Your Mind Power", please log on to the website. Now, if you go on to this website, you will find the recording of our last teleseminar on "Awaken Your Mind Power". And you can download it and listen to it for free. Our session today is entitled "Why Goal Setting Sucks!". What will we learn today, what you will learn today is that why goal setting sucks, how you can get it to work, how you can activate the Law of Attraction, the secret to achieving any goals that you set, what daily routine you need to do to connect with your desired goals. Last but not least, we’ll talk about the ultimate goals manifestation process in 3 simple steps. Imagine, my friends, imagine the possibilities of what you could achieve if you hold the secret of achieving every goal that you set for the rest of your life. How would your life be different? What amazing things would you be doing with your loved ones? It would be incredible, wouldn’t it? That’s right. May be the first place you want to start with today, my friends, is looking at how you have set goals in the past. Chances are if you have set them in the same manner year in year out, chances are you have been doing the same thing over and over and over again, but you have been expecting different results. Now, someone very wisely once said that to do the same things over and over and over again is insanity. Now, how many of you would like different results for this year, and the next year? Now, if you want some new and different results in the coming year, listen to this, my friends, if you want the results that you have never had before, you must be willing to do something new and different that you have never done before. Does that make sense? That’s right. So right here, right at this part I’d like to say to the first goal in life is to have a goal. The first goal in life is to have a goal. That’s what we’re going to look at in the next hour or so. Why would you want to have a goal? Because life without a goal is aimless, meaningless and you’ll drift through life hoping and wishing and dreaming, and then one day it’s time to go and you wonder what your life was all about. You have a choice. You can either be a wondering generality or a meaningful specific. 95% of the people in the world are wondering generalities. They don’t know where they’re going. As a matter of fact they don’t even know whether they are coming or going. And one day it’s too late and it’s time to go. My teacher, Bob Proctor, used to say some people tiptoe through life hoping they’ll make it safely to death. Now, we want to move away from wondering generality to a meaningful specific. We want to move away from wondering generality to becoming a meaningful specific. So what does that mean? That means that we have a purpose. We have a direction. We have a reason why we do what we do every single day. We have a reason to wake up in the morning. We have a reason to exist. That’s more than what 95% of the people in the world could say about their lives. Now, why would we want to have goals. Why would goals ensure that? Two reasons. Number 1: the mind is teleological. Let me say that again. The mind is teleological. That simply means the mind is forever target-seeking. The mind is forever looking for a target. The mind must have a target to hit. Now, if you don’t give it a target, someone else will. The environment will. Circumstances will. So you might as well decide and give it a target or it’s going to pick one out from the environment. It may not be a target that you want. It may not be in a direction which you want to head. But the mind must at every time, every moment have something to hit at. And that is why people live their entire life achieving somebody else’s dreams, and then they say their life is frustrating, meaningful, insignificant, and meaningless. So I say to you since the mind is always looking for a target, you might as well give it one by choice because the mind is teleological. And how do you give the target? By setting a goal. By giving it a goal. By giving it something to go for. To hit at. Second thing we need to understand is that in human personality there is a wise called the psychocybernetic mechanism. "Psycho" simply means mind and "cybernetic" means steersman. There is something in there, in our unconscious mind that guides us, that drives us to a certain direction. But this steersman decides where we go in life. How does he know where to go in life? How does he decide? Depending on the map that he’s holding in his hand. He’s guided by this map. On this map are the directions of your life, where you will go in every area of your life. How do we put these coordinates there? By deciding on the goals. By writing the goals down. Now, lots of people say, I have it in my head. No, no, no! If you do not have your goal on paper, in writing, you do not have a goal. Let me tell you why. Listen very carefully, my friends. This could be one of the most important things that you could learn about goal setting and goal achieving. Why do you need to write the goal down? Because writing causes thinking. Thinking causes pictures in the mind. And pictures are the secret language of the mind. We covered that in the last session when we spoke about mind power. We spoke about the three fundamental, basic laws of mind. And the first one that we said was that the mind thinks in pictures. So that’s the reason right here, right now why we need to write the goals down. Let me say that again, my friend. The reason why we need to write goals down is because writing causes thinking. Thinking cause pictures in our mind. And pictures are the secret language of the mind. If there is no picture, the mind has not understood. You communicate with the mind, with the unconscious part of your mind by forming pictures in your mind. Many of you are listening today because you’d like to make some changes in your life. You want to improve the quality of your life in all areas of your life. So to change your life, #1: Have goals. Because goals can change your life dramatically. Because you are changing the coordinates so that the steersman holds a map with different coordinates. So the steersman drives your life into a different direction. That’s the reason why you need to have goals. Well, you say, I already have goals. Then let’s move on to step 2. Step 2: Have better goals. If you have goals, have better goals. Now, why would you want to do that? Because better goals give you a better quality of life. If you have been setting goals but you’re not altogether satisfied with where you are now in life, chances are you have small goals. You have goals that are too tiny, too puny, too reachable. Now, Benjamin Disraeli, a prime minister of England once said, it is better to set a big goal and not achieve it rather than to set a small one and achieve it. Because if you set small goals and achieve them, and keep achieving them, you become delusional and you think you’re achieving all your goals.
