If you really want to be successful at anything, you will always need to get “back to basics.” Understanding the fundamentals is paramount to achievement. Vince Lombardi the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers football team, is famous for beginning each summer training camp by holding up a football and saying “Gentlemen, this is a football.”
It seems a bit redundant doesn’t it? Don’t you think that these champion athletes, know what a football looks like? Yet Vince Lombardi felt it imperative.
Now, imagine if you were building a new house, where would you begin? Choosing the paint color, the window trims or light fixtures? Or digging the foundation and deciding on the materials that will comprise the basic structure. It may be more fun to chose the “pretty” things first, but having a strong powerful foundation, for your house is far more important initially. Even if you do choose the paints, trims and lights first, you will need to put them on hold, or in storage somewhere until the house is ready.
It seems to be common sense, yet, I see many people trying to achieve their dreams and goals, with out first building a strong foundation.
Especially, when one dream has been achieved and a new goal is set. People often forget that they are embarking on a whole new journey, entailing new lessons and mastering new skills.
Therefore a basic mind power program, daily, is essential to all success. It is how you master the law of attraction. The Universe is impartial and unemotional, it will only reflect back to you, your predominant thoughts and feelings, not your vague wishes, slight hopes or faint desires.
As Mike Dooley from The Secret says ” The Universe may not give you what you want, but it does give you what you have been thinking.” So how do you create predominant thoughts and feelings?
To guarantee you have the fundamentals covered:
1. Create a Treasure Map/Vision Board and have written goals.
A thirty year Harvard study found that the top 3% of the graduating class, controlled 95% of the personal wealth and all had specific and written goals. All success systems encourage you to write your goals. Many suggest you write them as if they are already accomplished and some personal development trainers suggest you write them out daily. Bob Proctor suggests writing goals in this manner: “ I am so happy and grateful, now that...(fill in the blank with your current goal)....” Written goals are great for the left side of your brain. Pictures are great for the right side of you brain and for the subconscious mind. So for a whole brain integration, make sure you have a colorful and vibrant visual goal board in addition to your written goals.
2. Visualize, Feel and Celebrate the end result daily.
To guarantee your success vibration, a daily 5 minute, full sensory visualization, celebrating the end result (feeling the relief and gratitude of an accomplished goal) is far more powerful than scattered or intermittent positive thinking throughout the day. Thoughts are real forces and can be scientifically measured. A focused 5 minute celebration has far greater attraction power than many less focused thoughts added together. People often think they are “doing the work” when they aren’t really. This is the difference between going to the gym and chatting to your friends versus going to the gym and doing the exercises.
3. Be diligent in your practices.
In The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra says; ” Success in life can be defined as the continual expansion of happiness the progressive realization of worthy goals. Fulfilling ones desires with effortless ease.”
The way he suggests this can be accomplished is by a daily mediation practice. Even though goals change and accomplished dreams become the basis of new desires, dreams and goals, the method by which they are accomplished remains the same, daily basic practices.
No matter what goal, dream or desire you are working on now, the important part is your daily practices, the foundation of your goals rely on what you do every day.
