I want to talk to you today about the reason why so many people give up just before they see success. They never find out just how close they were to succeeding, and I want to tell you how you can avoid it if I were able to draw in this Facebook Live. I would draw success in two different ways.
The first way I would draw it is I would say, this is your starting point here, and this is where you want to be up here.
And we'll draw it linear almost, but a series of steps. And the reason people give up. They may make the first two steps and then that third step feels like a big jump, whatever it is, the way they feel like they need to show up to the world, the thing they need to overcome to get to that level of success, the step is too high and they feel like, fuck, I can't do it.
I've tried before and I keep failing. I gotta give up. And so they give up, and it's because you're seeing success as a linear process from point A to point C, if you like, with a few steps in between. And because you see it that way, when it gets hard, you feel I've been here before and I just can't break through and so I'm screwed.
If this makes sense, please put 'making sense' in the comments below. The way that success would be drawn out is more like a target right in the middle here, and you are starting at the top here or down the bottom here, off to the side. It doesn't matter. And you are circling the target.
You're circling the target, and you're circles are getting closer and closer and closer and closer to the target. Sometimes they're almost on the same line. It feels so familiar. The reason is. That success is this way, is that success is a series of iterations, repeatable behaviors performed over and over again with lots and lots of failure.
And when you come back around to this point of the circle, it feels familiar. It feels the same, but familiar is not the same as identical when you get to this point right here. You've never been to this moment, at this point in your life, even though you are coming to a similar obstacle, you know a little bit more, you're a little bit wiser, you're a little bit older, you've learned a little bit more about yourself.
You have new people in your life or a new person in your life. You have a little bit more resource, a little bit less resource, a little bit more creative, a little bit less creative. And so the lie that keeps you stuck and makes you give up. I've been here before. You have never been there before. In fact, once somebody close to me in my life said, you're going to fail, and I said, I won't.
And they said, you've been here before. And I got really annoyed and I was like, I have never been here before. I've never had this moment in my life before. I've never been at this point in time right now. I've never had so much knowledge. I have not been here before. You do not know my future. And do not let yourself or other people tell you that you've been here before; you haven't.
And if you keep going, you'll start to form and keep learning a tighter and tighter circle until you hit your goals and you hit your target. The key is to keep on going, and there are a few reasons why you don't keep on going. One is this lie. This lie, that success is linear and that you've been here before.
Those two lies, the third. The reason why you don't always keep going is that you are not clear enough on the target. You don't have focused laser vision, both in your mind and in your heart. It needs to be an emotional reason for succeeding. Not somebody else's goal for your life, but your goal, the thing that you want, that you think, man, that would be absolutely fucking fantastic.
If I could do that'd be amazing. That'd be incredible. Right? And it excites you a bit. And you have a system for keeping you connected to your goal. 'Cause we can set goals, but we lose connection with them, 'cause they're too complicated or they're not specific enough, and they're also not short enough.
If this is making sense and you want to reach your goals, you know that you must reach your goals this year, in the next 12 months, very shortly, very soon, that you don't leave your life. With your goals, unreached, and your goals can be very broad in very many different dimensions of your life.
In fact, they should be. But if you need to be the kind of human being and to do the kinds of things that are in your heart and in your mind to do, then I want you to type goals underneath this video. 'cause I want to invite 12 people to something very special for the next 30 days to make certain, to make absolutely.
Certain that you hit your goals because if you can conceive it in your mind and your heart and it can mean enough to you, and you can stay connected to it, and we can keep you on that circular path of getting closer and closer to it, you will undoubtedly achieve your goals. I promise I give you my guarantee.
Put goals underneath this video. I'll talk to you soon.
