Step 1
The Magic of Thinking Small.
First, pick a goal that is just beyond your comfort level. Many motivational teachers will
urge you to shoot for the stars, think incredibly big, and go for goals which are ten times as
large as anything you've ever accomplished. This may work well for people who are already
confident in their power to manifest, but for the beginner, or for the person who has not
had much success using mind power, the idea of thinking outrageously big is a disaster.
For example, if you haven't had a date in three years you don't want to visualize yourself
scoring with bunnies at the Playboy mansion. In theory all goals are definitely achievable,
but in your reality you probably don't really believe it's possible, so it won't happen.
Instead, pick a goal which is reasonable and can be accomplished within a few months. In
this example, you might want to have just one date in the next three months. Not nearly as
thrilling of a goal, but a fantastic step towards a better life.
Or you probably want more money in your life. Instead of visualizing yourself suddenly
earning $250,000 a year, start with a goal of increasing your wage or your sales by 10 per
cent. Again, not exactly thrilling, but the point is you start small and build upon your
success, instead of going for the home run and missing every time.
You see, after you reach that first goal you will have some confidence, and you can use that confidence to step up to the next goal, slowly but surely building a better life in the
process.
