How to Achieve Llong and Short Term Goals

Achieving your short and long term goals needn't be difficult if you know and avoid the real reasons why most people fail.nnIf you've ever wondered why there's a minority of people who seem confident in setting and achieving goals while others seem to struggle for the basics in life, then read on.nnUntil fairly recently I was like a lot of people. I was unhappy and even a bit worried with the direction my life was going in. I was getting deeper into debt, not making much progress in my career and certainly hadn't really begun building any sort of financial security for my future. n nIn short, I'd become stuck in a rut. And it wasn't because I was short on ambitions and dreams for a better future either. n nThe truth is, though, every time I was determined to set a goal and make a big change, I'd do it for a while but always seemed to eventually slip back into my old way of doing things. n nBut why? Why is it so hard to change even when you desperately want to?nnI knew other people managed to achieve their dreams and ambitions and it probably wasn't impossible for me to either if I just had the confidence and know how. And I knew this was probably true for the majority of other people too.nnA study by the Social Security Administration, following one hundred people at the start of their working careers for 40 years until they reached retirement age, found only 1 would be wealthy, 4 financially secure and the rest continuing to work to make ends meet, broke or dead!nnThat's 5% successful, 95% unsuccessful. nnSo what does the successful 5% know, that the 95% doesn't?nnSince around 1995 I've made it my mission to find out. I've studied a library's worth of books, recordings, courses and seminars on subjects such as psychology, philosophy, spirituality, positive mindset, goal-setting and even the law of attraction.n nWhat I discovered was our brains are actually hard-wired to sabotage any attempts at changing. Let me explain:nnThe first thing to realize is, if you're unhappy or unsuccessful in any area of your life, it's not your fault. You're just unaware of why you're getting the results you're getting and how you can change them.nnYou're unaware, or conscious, of this because the vast majority of our results are controlled at a subconscious level. If you've ever heard the phrase, "he's a creature of habit", nothing could be closer to the truth.nnMost of our lives are governed by daily routines and knee-jerk reactions we call habits.nnA habit is an acquired behavior pattern followed until it has become almost involuntary. The reason habits become almost involuntary is because they become hardwired into our brain. nnEvery time you think or do something, connections between your brain cells are created or existing ones followed. nnThat's why when you're learning something new and have no previous points of reference, you find it difficult. nnYou don't have any existing neural pathways in your brain yet to cope with the new situation and have to create them. nnAt first, the neural pathways are weak, but with repetition the connections between brain cells become stronger and stronger until it becomes your automatic way of thinking. It becomes 'hardwired' into your brain.nnYou don't have to 'think' about doing a thing, it's just your automatic response when faced with similar circumstances. You're not aware or conscious of doing it; it's done at a subconscious level.nnHabits can be very useful. Imagine going through your day having to make conscious decisions about everything you do.nnHowever, once habits have become hardwired into our brains, they become very difficult for us to change. In fact, they're often so difficult for us to change they sometimes become known as addictions or obsessions.nnIn fact it's some of these very habits that are sabotaging your attempts to achieve your short and long term goals.nnTo start making and reaching your personal goals you need to first start researching and using the simple but little used secrets to reverse your 'hard-wiring' and 're-wire' your brain so you can start effortlessly achieving anything you want.nnCampbell Forsyth shows you how to get the results you really want in life.
