On Mountains and Mastering change

ON MOUTAINS AND MASTERING CHANGE

 

Faith & belief do move mountains. And if you don’t believe an idea will work, then there’s no change you’ll act on it (and if you don’t act, how can you get results?). Thought is the mother of action and your beliefs really do become self-fulfilling prophecies.

 

Define what the mountaintop looks like: Articulate in writing, what success looks to you. Note what needs to change in your life for you to feel spectacularly successful and what will happen if you don’t improve. Then record your goals for all the key areas of your life. Write out what you want your reality to appear as five years from now. List the values you want to stand for. Clarity precedes success – and awareness precedes transformation.

 

Start climbing: There’s great power in starting. A single act – done now – sets forces into play. It generates momentum. And with the action you begin to experience positive results. That begins a positive feedback loop: more action, more results. And that, in turn, promotes confidence.

 

Take small steps: You can’t get to the top of the Everest by jumping up the mountains. You get to the mountaintop by taking incremental steps. Step by step you get to the goal. Every step gets you closer to the dream. Life’s like that too. Small steps each day get you to greatness over time. Why? Because the days really do become weeks and weeks become months and months become years. You’ll get to the end of your life anyway – why not reach that place as an extraordinary human being?
