What are your goals?
Whatever it is that you desire, the best way to shift your goals from dreams
into reality is to follow a proven step ­by ­step formula that will help you stay
on track and moving forward.
Here is a 7­step formula for achieving any goal
you set for yourself, in any area of your life...

Step #1: Take 100% Responsibility for Your Happiness

Do you ever feel unhappy, unfulfilled or even perhaps trapped in certain
areas of your life?
When things aren’t going the way you’d like them to, it can be easy to start
thinking that the people and circumstances around you are responsible for
your dissatisfaction.
But here’s something to consider: If how you feel about your life depends
on what’s happening OUTSIDE of you, then your happiness will always be
at the mercy of outside influences.
Instead, I recommend you look within.
If you’re unhappy with where you are right now for any reason,
take on that this is a result of the choices and decisions that you yourself
have made in your life. This may be a bit tough to accept at first, but once
you do, you’ll be empowered to design your life and how you feel about it in
any way you see fit.
Remind yourself each day that you are the creator of
your experience... so why not make each experience a good one?

Step #2: Set a Clear Goal & Visualise It Daily

Once you accept that you alone are responsible for your personal reality
and the level of joy and fulfillment you experience in it, the second step is to
set a clear goal and then visualise yourself achieving it on a regular basis.
Whether your goal is to increase your income, lose weight, land your dream
job, start your own business or create the relationship of your dreams, get
clear on what it is that you truly want.
You may even wish to write your goal down on a post­it note or piece of
paper and stick it on your bathroom mirror or somewhere else where you’ll
be sure to see it each day.
When you see your note, take a few minutes to close your eyes and
visualise yourself achieving this goal. Create a detailed mental image of
exactly how it will look and, most importantly, how it will FEEL to achieve
your goal.
Doing this for even just a few minutes each day programs your
subconscious mind to immediately begin looking for opportunities to
achieve this goal. As a result, you’ll soon begin to notice people and
resources appearing around you that will help you manifest what it is that
you desire!
Step #3: Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude

What are you thankful for? Taking a moment each day to get present to
what you are grateful for in your life makes an enormous difference to your
level of happiness and the speed at which you’ll reach your goals.
When you appreciate who and what you have around you, this raises your
vibration, which in turn, immediately begins attracting more abundance to
you in the form of new positively charged people and golden opportunities
that will help you reach your goals!
One of the best ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude is to start up the
habit of writing in a gratitude journal.
Keep a notepad or notebook beside your bed and, before you turn in each
night, take a few minutes to think of and write down 5 things that you feel
grateful for that day.
After just a few days, you’ll begin developing your “gratitude muscle,” and
you’ll find that it becomes easier and easier to think of things you’re grateful
for in any given moment!

Step #4: Identify Your Core Values

Have you ever struggled with making decisions in your life?
Or have you ever felt anxious or stressed or even trapped at the thought of
making a “wrong” decision that might turn out badly for you?
If you’ve answered yes to either of these questions, chances are you’re not
clear on what your core values are.
Your “core values” are essentially your highest priorities, deeply held
beliefs and driving forces in your life. They are the guiding principles behind
what you believe, how you express yourself and who you want to be going
forward.
When you’re not clear on your core values, you’ll often find that you take a
long time to decide on a course of action when it comes to your goals, or
you may find that you often second guess your decisions.
But when you ARE clear on your core values, it’s like having a strong
internal “GPS” that you can use to make clear, confident decisions that will
propel you closer toward your goals at lightening speed.
To get clear on your core values, take some quiet time to sit and think
about what’s most important to you in your life and in what order. For
example: is “adventure” more important to you than “security?”
Make a list of 5 core values and rank them in order of importance, then
tweak your goals as necessary to make sure they align with your values.
Do this and you’ll have a much easier time making decisions that support
your goals and the true you.

Step #5: Eliminate Your Self­ Limiting Beliefs

Self­ limiting beliefs are essentially negative thoughts that are embedded
deep in your subconscious mind – usually as a result of what you heard
and saw as a child – that can block you from reaching your goals and
achieving success in life.
The problem with self­ limiting beliefs is that because they are often running
in the background of your life on a subconscious level, they are usually
difficult to identify.
What are your self­ limiting beliefs around money, your body, relationships,
business and career?
To find out, start paying attention to your thoughts about other people. The
conversations you have with yourself about others on a regular basis is
usually a very good indicator of what you’re consistently telling yourself on
a subconscious level.
One way to start monitoring your inner dialogue is to carry a notebook
around with you to write down any negative thoughts you have about
others as you go about your day.
At the end of each day, take a few minutes to read through what you’ve
written down, then turn these thoughts around by rewriting them as positive
affirmations. You can then repeat these positive affirmations to yourself out
loud.
As you visualise your goals each morning, you begin loosening the hold
that your self­ limiting beliefs may have on you.
Plus, positive affirmations coupled with visualisation is a powerful way to
activate the Law of Attraction in your life!

Step #6: Use Your Language for Success

As you become more and more tuned in to your inner dialogue, you will find
that you’ll naturally become more mindful of the words you speak as well.
The fact is that the words you choose to speak have incredible power. Your
words are the bridge between your internal and external world, and what
you speak, you will most often manifest!
This is what makes verbally declaring affirmations and other personal
mantras so powerful.
Through the language you use, you either raise your vibration and attract
positive people, resources and opportunities to you that will help you move
closer towards your goals... or you lower your vibration and repel these
things FROM you.
For example, If you say “this is impossible” or “I’m all alone” out loud,
chances are you will find that something is indeed impossible or that you
are on your own.
Instead, you can say “there’s a way” or “the help I need is on its way” and
the Universe will rise up to offer you people and opportunities that match
this vibration.

Step #7: Pay It Forward

One of the biggest secrets to effective manifestation is SHARING. The fact
is that what you share, you will multiply!
Now that you know the 6 steps to achieving any goal you set for yourself in
any area of your life, I strongly encourage you to activate the 7​th​ step, which
is to pay it forward!
A fantastic way to pay it forward it to live as an example of what’s possible
to those around you.
When you take full responsibility for your happiness, set clear goals and
visualise them and follow all of the other steps laid out here to make your
goals a reality, you inspire those around you to do the same – and this is
the ultimate way to contribute to others and multiply your success even
further.
