Turned Off By Goal Setting
Goal setting has long been touted as the most important part of self improvement, and often seen on many “high octave” pitch seminars, or late night “life changing” infomercials, usually with the speaker on stage or camera, with fully animated gestures, jumping up and down, yelling and shouting…
Unfortunately, this has actually turned many people off, and they abandoned goal setting altogether.
But really, setting goals is essentially important for anyone who aspires to achieve anything at all. Specially when it comes to losing weight, setting goals becomes all that MORE important. It’s all part of getting the mental aspect of weight loss right.
Learn and master how to set goals properly is an art. It takes time and practice to get it right.
But once you get it right, not only will you be able to set real important goals, but also you will actually achieve them and on time. It is one of the most POWERFUL tools you can have in your own hands to dramatically impact and improve the quality of your life.
The question is HOW?
While doing research on goal setting, I came across this little known website: www.actionisking.com. Unlike many other copycats who rehash upon out dated “how to”s, it’s taken a whole different and unconventional way of thinking.
While it touches upon a much broader subject, its goal setting segment is certainly worth a read (listen).
Here are some quotes taken from the site:
Most personal development gurus suck.
Dr. Phil, who weighs in at about 245 pounds, gives people advice on how to lose weight! I’m sorry, but the dude is only 6’2". I don’t care how you spin it, he’s overweight.
Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich (millions of copies sold), lived most of his life destitute and poor, and had to be rescued from poverty at the end of his life by a friend who took pity on him.
And this resonate with me the most:
Learn how to set goals directly from Olympic athletes, not personal development ‘gurus” who have nothing but rehashed “pretty and sound-good-on-paper” theories.
Master your goal setting and following through skills, there will be nothing that can stop you from becoming a master of your own self and achieve whatever you want to.
