ClearMind Lesson 8: The Formula for Success

The ClearMind formula for success is so simple, you may be tempted to overlook its genius. The formula for success is.

Clear Goal + Straight Path + Focused Power=
The results you want.

Let’s look at a common goal that many of us share - losing weight.

OK, so let’s look at “losing weight” through the ClearMind formula for success.

In this case our “clear goal” is losing weight. Volumes have been written on how to set goals, we won’t recreate those here. I will share a few simple tips that work for me.

1)    Write your goal from beyond completion

2)    State your emotion upon completion

3)    Briefly state what you did to get there

4)    State the difference it has made in your life

I did it! It is now July 4th of 2010. I am thrilled that over the past 6 months I lost 15 pounds. With my own determination and lots of support from family and friends I formed new habits of healthy eating and exercise. I now have vibrant energy at home and at work, and I’m setting an example of healthy living for my children to follow.

If the path isn’t obvious we may need to do some research or ask for help. But, don’t delay until you have a perfect plan. The clear goal allows us to proceed one step at a time, knowing exactly where we’re headed.

Focusing our power means leveraging our money, energy, and time completely on the action at hand. We complete actions by focusing sufficient power until the action is complete.

Completed actions lead to… Completed projects, which lead to… Completed goals, which lead to… The life you want!
