Purposeful Pursuits: How Goals Ignite Success

[00:00:00] Today's episode is about the magnificent obsession, creating a compelling future. But before that, hi, I am Rabjot Singh, an automobile engineer by profession and owner of Singh Automotive Academy and I am here to help people live a life of emotional and financial freedom and

[00:00:18] this podcast is one of my ways to do it. First of all, I am so sorry for ghosting all of you guys as I learned ghosting from the best. I had some waves in my life so I had to learn surfing in order to cross them.

[00:00:32] But anyways, after a few challenges and a heartbreak later I am back and this time for good. So are you ready to have some fun? Are you willing to be like a kid again and let your imagination run wild?

[00:00:46] Are you committed to grabbing hold of your life and squeezing from it all the power, passion and juice you know can be yours? I have thrown a lot at you so far and we have covered a moment amount of topics on this podcast.

[00:01:00] Most of which you can put to use immediately but most of it however will stay tucked in some corner of your mind, locked in deep storage until just the right moment arrives. We have worked hard together to get you to make new and braver decisions.

[00:01:17] The difference between a life of dreaming and a life that you actually want that is the life of doing. Many people in life know what they should do but they never do it. The reason is that they are lacking the drive that only a compelling future can provide.

[00:01:33] This episode is your opportunity to let go and dream at the highest level, to brainstorm out the wildest possibilities and in doing so possibly discover something that will really push you to the next level. It will help you create energy and momentum. So let's get into it.

[00:01:52] Have you heard about Aladdin and his magical lamp where he was granted three wishes? Yeah and I am here to tell you that you possess the exact same lamp that is not limited to mere three wishes.

[00:02:06] So you have heard people say to someone else that how energetic they are, how they are getting so much of energy and how they are so successful no wonder they are so motivated in life.

[00:02:18] They compare them with that person saying that I am not as motivated as you, I am lazy and the usual answer of any motivated and successful person is that you are not lazy, you just have important goals. Frequently people give a very confused look at this response.

[00:02:36] So the thing is it's totally okay to have this confused response but you must remember that your level of excitement comes from your goals. Every morning when you wake up even if you feel physically exhausted from the lack of

[00:02:52] sleep you are still going to find the drive you need because your goals are so exciting to you. They get you up early, keep you up late and inspire you to utilize all your resources and use everything you can possibly find within the sphere of your influence to

[00:03:11] bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you but it will never be awakened by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring and more challenging goals. Often people tell that my problem is I don't really have any goals.

[00:03:32] This belief demonstrates their lack of understanding of how goals really work. The human mind is always pursuing something if nothing more than the ability to reduce or eliminate pain or that could lead to it.

[00:03:46] Our brains also love to guide us in pursuing anything that can lead to the creation of pleasure. And let me tell you that we all have goals. The problem as I have stressed in virtually every episode is that we are unconscious in our use of these resources.

[00:04:04] If you want to discover the unlimited possibilities within you, you have to find those goals. You must find a goal big enough and grand enough to challenge you to push your limits beyond and discover true potential. Remember that your current conditions do not reflect your unlimited potential but

[00:04:24] rather the size and quality of goals upon which you are currently focusing on. We all must discover or create a magnificent obsession. Goals take you beyond your limits to a world of unlimited power and when I say this, I'm

[00:04:39] saying it literally when we first set large goals, they may seem impossible to achieve but the most important key to goal setting is to find a big enough goal to inspire you. So the way I usually know I have set the right goal is when it seems impossible

[00:04:56] but at the same time it giving me a sense of crazed excitement. Just to think about it, the possibility of achieving it. I remember a quote from Donald Curtis that goes by We are what and where we are because we first imagined it.

[00:05:13] Setting goals is the first step to turn the invisible into the visible, the foundation of all success in life. You might be thinking right now well this all sounds so inspirational but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen and I couldn't agree with you more.

[00:05:31] All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan and a massive and consistent action towards its fulfillment. You already have the power to act, if you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.

[00:05:49] Do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially? What has stopped you? For many its unconscious fear of disappointment for some have set the goals in the past and

[00:06:06] failed to achieve them and as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain they left it. People set goals but abused themselves by telling their entire level of personal happiness to their ability to achieve the goals that may be outside their control

[00:06:23] or they lack the flexibility that as they move in the direction of their goals there are better more worthy goals all around them. The process of setting goals works a lot like your eyesight, the closer you get to your

[00:06:36] destination the greater clarity you will have on not only the goal itself but the details of everything around it. Who knows you may decide that you like one of those possibilities. Here I want you to take note of something. Achieving your goal can mean achieving your real goals.

[00:06:56] Its not just getting a goal that matters but the quality of your life experienced along the way. Any person go through life putting off their joy and happiness. To them goal setting means that someday after they achieve something only they will be

[00:07:12] able to enjoy their life to the fullest. The truth is that if we decide to be happy now that will automatically help us achieve more goals and make a more magnificent obsession and a way to focus we must constantly strive

[00:07:28] to live each day to its fullest squeezing all the joy we can instead of measuring your success and failure in life by ability to achieve your individualized goal. Remember the direction we are heading is more important than individual results.

[00:07:45] If you continue to head in the right direction you may not only achieve the goals you are pursuing but a lot more. So take your first step now and I am going to teach you how to take that.

[00:07:56] What are we going to do now is turning the invisible into the visible and making your dreams into reality. By the time you are finished you will have greater clarity on what goals you have.

[00:08:06] You will have created for yourself an anticipation so great for future, so compelling that you can't help but take the first step today. So we will be covering four areas for your life. Personal Development Goals, Career Goals and Business Goals, Adventure and Toy Goals which

[00:08:24] are my personal favorite and Contribution Goals which are as important as the first three. You have to just ask yourself a simple question what would I want for my life if I knew I could have it any way I wanted it.

[00:08:39] What could I go for if I knew I could not fail? Then the need to know precisely how just discover what is that you truly want without questioning or doubting your ability. Remember if you get inspired enough the power will unleash from within and will find a way

[00:08:55] to manifest your desire. Also initially don't waste your time getting over specific things like I'd wanted two story house, window facing, just be short ends specific big house, swimming pool, Mumbai or California whatever you want.

[00:09:13] So right now put yourself in a state of mind of absolute faith and total expectation that you can create anything you want. I would like you to imagine that you are a kid again on a Diwali or a Christmas Eve

[00:09:28] and you are in a departmental or toy store with your parents and they are telling you to buy whatever you want and you can go as insane as you want with your outrageous list. So let's go for personal development goals.

[00:09:41] You can ask yourself some questions like what would you like to learn? What would you do for your physical well being? What would you like to conquer a fear of flying? Would you like to learn dance or speak German probably? Remember that goals are dreams with a deadline.

[00:09:56] Whatever you have made for yourself give it a deadline to that. The most important distinction that I made about goals was that if I had a big enough why to do something a strong enough set of reasons I could always figure out how to achieve it.

[00:10:14] Goals alone can inspire but knowing the deepest reasons why you want them in the first place can provide you with the long lasting drive and motivation necessary to persist and achieve. Do the same thing for your economic goals, for your toy and adventure goals and your contribution goals.

[00:10:32] Now since you have set all the goals let me teach you how to make your goals real to ensure the absolute attainment of your goals. You must condition your nervous system in advance to feel the pleasure they will surely bring in.

[00:10:48] In other words at least twice a day you must rehearse and emotionally enjoy the experience of achieving each one of the most valued goals each time. You do this and you will create more emotional joy as you feel and hear yourself living

[00:11:04] your dream and continuously focus and that will create a neural pathway in your mind where you are and where you want to go. This intense conditioning will find yourself a sense of absolute certainty that you will

[00:11:20] achieve your desires and this certainty will translate your quality of action that ensures your success. Your confidence will allow you to attract the appropriate coaches role models who will guide you in taking the most effective actions to produce results quickly rather than the

[00:11:38] traditional trial and error method that can take decades for you or more. Now I have taught you how to create goals and how to make your goals real but what's most important is the purpose of your goal.

[00:11:52] Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in a long term it is who you become and overcome the obstacles that is necessary to achieve your goals that give you the deepest and the most long lasting sense of fulfillment.

[00:12:07] So maybe the key question you and even I need to ask myself is what kind of person will I have to become in order to achieve all that I want. This may be the most important question you can ask yourself.

[00:12:21] Please take a moment and realize what character traits skills abilities attitudes and beliefs that you would like to develop in order to achieve all of your goals that is the purpose of your goal to make us a better person.

[00:12:36] The ultimate lesson I want you to take away from this episode is that a compelling future creates a dynamic sense of growth without this we are only half alive. Compelling future is not an necessary but a necessity it allows us not only to

[00:12:52] achieve but to partake of the deep sense of joy contribution and growth that gives meaning to life where there is no vision the people perish we don't have to wait for an event in order to have the inspiration design it.

[00:13:10] So that's it for today's episode I will be back to the regularity of two episodes per week and we're going to finish the 75 episodes in no time. So this is Rabjot Singh your host take care and keep being awesome.
