“Your feelings drive what you do–and don’t do–in this one and only life of yours,” says Leslie in this second installment of the Goal Setting Made Simple series. Today, we are talking about “emotional fuel,” or the feeling needed to make your dream, resolution or goal a reality. It’s a cyclical process: positive feelings make you more likely to do the work involved to achieve your goal, and completing that work gives your feelings of pride and achievement which then fuel you to do more work. Those positive emotions also make the journey to achieving the goal far more enjoyable.
Today, Leslie shares her “greatest hit list” of top 5 feelings for goal getting. Any number of distractions, comforts and temptations threaten to sabotage our goals at any moment, and these five feelings will keep you motivated and prevent you from feeling overwhelmed as you make your goal a reality.
Achieving your goals isn’t easy. In fact, only nine to 20 percent of people keep their New Year’s Resolutions. Leslie’s here to help you beat those odds as well as share with you what is kryptonite to success, what separates quitters from conquerors and the important distinction between confidence and self-confidence.
Quotes
- “Any goal is simply the result of taking action–likely a lot of action. Few goals are a one-and-done situation. They typically require consistency and repetition.” (2:54 | Leslie)
- “If you think, ‘I can’t do it,’ and you feel defeated, and your emotional fuel is ‘defeat,’ well then you’re not going to do it. Why would you? There’s no point. You can’t do it, you feel defeated. But if you think, ‘I can do it!’ ” and you feel motivated, you’re going to go do the thing. Motivation becomes your emotional fuel.” (4:06 | Leslie)
- “That is premium emotional fuel, that is what we’re talking about today: what you need to feel to achieve what you desire.” ((7:09 | Leslie)
- “Be sure your ‘why’ is for you.” (12:38 | Leslie)
- “It takes courage to even set a goal let alone go after a goal.” (15:28 | Leslie)
- “Whatever your goal is, believe in your ability to make it a reality.” (19:40 | Leslie)
