BELIEF DETERMINES ACTIONS AND ACTIONS DETERMINE RESULTS

Have you ever heard this line from Jack Canfield before?  The full quote is:

Your belief determines you actions, your actions determine your results, but first you have to believe.

So how about the goal that you are going after right now, do you believe that you can actually obtain it? Have you taken the time to ask yourself that question?  

If you haven't, today is the day that you need to ask yourself that question.  What I have my athletes and clients do, is once we have determined a goal that that they want, the next part of the equation is to scale that goal.  

What I mean by scaling the goal, is to have that goal be as big and challenging as it can be so that it excites you, but still falls within the range so it doesn't scare you to the point to where you would take no action.

Your progression is going to fall in line with where your belief is, so it is vital that you figure this out before you start going to work "blindly" on your goal.  Go through today's exercise to determine your belief.

MVP Mental Exercise

1.  Write down your goal with a deadline date for it's achievement

2.  Now rate your belief on you being able to complete that goal by that date, you will rate the goal on a scale of 1-10.  1 being that you don't feel that you can accomplish it at all, and 10 being 100% confident that you can complete

3.  You want to make sure that your goal falls in the 7-9 range.  When it falls in this range, you know that you have chosen a goal that will stretch you and force you to grow, but you are still confident that you can do it.
