Do you want success? Don't set goals, do this instead!

Goal setting, what exactly is it?

1. You say you want to achieve (goal) something

2. You establish a date or time in which to achieve it

3. Write an action plan

4. Follow that action plan and …

5. FAILURES to achieve the established objective

Why?

The plan was flawed from the start.

It’s like wanting to “fall in love with someone” because you want to be in love. You join dating services and social sites and meet people, but never “fall in love”. Why? Because you want to fall in love for the simple fact of being in love or because you think that falling in love will make you happy. You see “other people” apparently in love and you want to be like them.

Well, it doesn’t work that way.

There is no “vision”, feeling, or true mental desire for true happiness. There was only one goal that you think will bring you happiness.

You see, when I started bodybuilding, I followed (to perfection) all the diets and weightlifting programs of the champions and for four years in a row I failed, went nowhere, and actually lost weight and muscle size. I looked at the physique of “other people” and thought that if I looked like them I would be happy.

Then one day I had a vision. It was a mental “vision” of how I wanted to see myself and how I wanted to “feel” about myself. It was NOT a “goal” but a vision with feeling. I stopped following the diet and training lifestyle that I had been implementing for the previous four years.

I dropped everything and then did this.

I just imagined the way I wanted to look and feel.

In my mind’s eye I created the “perfect me”.

From there, I magically created the right diets and training programs that worked for “me.”

Error n. 1 in diet and training

It happens every year.

Get in shape, a New Years resolution. Lose fat, gain muscle, and feel great.

So the person does this;

1. Set a goal to lose weight and gain muscle.

2. Find or create a weight lifting exercise program.

3. Find or create a muscle-building diet to lose weight

4. Start the program on a Monday, let’s say January 3.

5. By January 9, they are not feeling energetic, but they have lost a couple of pounds.

6. By January 16 they begin to feel exhausted and lose strength.

7. By January 23, they say they felt better when they weren’t on a diet.

8. By January 30, they may start to physically wear out and get sick or feel bad.

9. By February 7, they begin to stop the diet and miss a few days of training because they lack energy and feel sluggish.

10. At the end of February, 92% of people who started a diet and exercise program quit.

11. At the end of April, 96% of people who started a diet and exercise program stopped and many of them gained weight!

Why? What was the cause?

1. The weight lifting program they followed was not progressive for their body type

2. The diet plan they followed was not balanced in nutrients for their personal metabolic needs.

This happens every year. Overtrained and malnourished equals failure, it can’t end any other way.

You do not believe me? Just secretly observe the people you know who are on a diet and training program and watch what happens. The time frame may change a bit, but the end result will be the same, guaranteed.

Think about it my friend
