Every New Year's Eve, people plan their future. They think of all the incredible things that they want to achieve all the amazing trips, they will take all the healthy routines, they will put in practice, all the great things, they will achieve all the great things that they will buy. But according to US News 80% of resolutions fail in the second week of February. Why? Because people write a bunch of things that they wish they had. They wish they were.

But they don't really commit themselves to go to those things. They write a bunch of things without giving it much thoughts. They write, they want more health and energy, but they don't do anything that will help them to get more energy and more health. But the reality is even worse, because most people don't even take the time to write their goals down. So please go and grab a piece of paper your journal and make sure you are actually writing Those things don't. We are all afraid of failing.

And so most people don't even bother to write those things down. They just go through some of their wishes in their mind, which is definitely not an effective thing to do. So please, even if you stop watching this class right now, take one thing for your life. Grab a piece of paper and plan the things you want to achieve. Plan your life, blend the things you want to get planned. The feelings you want to be feeling every day, plan the things you want to give, plan the things you want to receive and write those things down.

That's really important. Another thing is don't think small. Don't limit your visions and dreams just because you don't really know how to achieve them. But now the most important thing is setting new year's resolutions is not going to make them come true. You have to work towards your goals. You have to make time for them.

You have to set a priority to achieve that. goal and commit yourself to work toward it every single day. Because really setting new year's resolutions is not going to do the trick because those resolutions will never leave the paper if you don't do something to actually accomplish them. I'm a huge fan of Brendon Burchard. He's a best selling off there on personal development in high performance. And he calls SMART goals, dumb goals, if you're not familiar with smart goals, they stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and time bound.

But if you're really limiting your goals to all those criteria, you can't really dream big and think what things you really want to achieve. You will end up with a bunch of goals that don't motivate you don't excite you and don't make you work towards them. So what's the purpose of setting goals with so many restrictions if you have a really ambitious goal, that it's not Really measurable. According to this smart goals list, you can really have that goal which doesn't make much sense. There are still times when SMART goals are important, especially when breaking an ambitious goal into smaller, tangible goals. But don't make your life goals SMART goals, make them crazily ambitious.

You have to dream and think big, because that's what will motivate you and excite you to achieve those goals. So stop setting SMART goals instead, ambitious goals that make you excited to wake every single morning to achieve them. If you know exactly how to achieve a goal. Maybe it's not that ambitious and maybe you really should dream bigger. You have to go beyond your current expectations and your current abilities. If no one is saying that your goal is kind of crazy, you really should think twice about it and create a bigger goal.

It doesn't really matter if your goals aren't 100% achievable. What matters is, are they really making you enjoy the process? Are you really excited for them? Are you really motivated to wake up every day? Are you really willing to do anything that it takes to achieve that goal? That's what matters the most.

If you've always wanted to start a blog, don't set the goal of starting a blog set a goal of publishing 50 articles this year. And if you think that's too much, and that you don't have time for it, make time for it. If it's important to you, you can always get your goals must be constantly challenging you because that's how you are going to grow. This year, you only become stronger and better when you work actively towards something that's bigger than you even if you don't achieve any of your crazy and ambitious goals. At least make sure you're progressing towards them. You should be challenging yourself every single day.

You should be feeling alone. Live in driven by the process, because the process is way more important than the goals because it might take you years to reach the goals because it might take you five years to reach a goal. But the process is something that you go through every single day. So it's important that you actually enjoy and look forward to it. So set goals right now that really motivate and excite you dream big and only then you can start by looking backwards to see what you have to do every single day to achieve that goal between the when setting your long term goals. Now, if you think you lack the confidence to achieve all of those goals, I think you will benefit from hearing the competence confidence loop, it's quite obvious that the more confidence we have, the more able we are to achieve bigger goals because when we lack confidence, we take a step back and we avoid making risks or taking risks that will move us forward.

How can we actually get more confidence that we will achieve our new year's resolutions. The answer lies on the confidence competence loop. When you lack confidence, you have to become more competence, you have to acquire new skills that will give you the confidence that you need to achieve greater things. When you become more skilled and trained, your confidence grows. And because now you have more confidence, you will be able to take on bigger risks that again will give you more competence. And because you have more competence, you will again, be able to have more confidence.

And this process or this loop continues to go on. But remember that you have to start by acquiring or developing skills that that are really necessary to take you to the next level. If you don't really know how to start or where to start learning a new skill.

You're ready to achieve your impressive goals because you're making progress towards them.
