Be... Do... Have... - The perfect way to achieve your GOALS

Monday, November 2, 2009

Most of the times, we believe that if we HAVE a certain thing, we can actually DO certain other things and BE a different or better person. Do you really think this mode works? Just think about it.

To be frank, most of the times this whole ideology backfires. We end up waiting to have that magical edge which will help us to be what we want to be. Of course, we do try our best but still we're not there yet most of the time.

May be we should just see how this model works to get clarity over the topic. For example, I've always thought that I'd invest some money every month, only if I'm earning a few thousands more. I do seem to get a salary increment year after year and still, I've not started my investments. Very typical of me. But, only until I realized my mistake.

Another classic example, people always say, "I'd go to gym regularly, only if I get to come home a little bit early". But, how early is actually early? It doesn't works out this way. Never! If you are waiting for something to happen on its own without your conscious effort, I'm telling you, it's not going to happen.

What we need is a shift in our perspective, not some magical moment. HAVE something, to DO certain things and BE what you want is not perfect. Mainly because it contradicts the natural flow of events. You need a strong correct cause for some expected effect to happen, without that nothing would change. If you want different results, then you will have to do things differently. We cannot expect a drastically different result with no change in the actions.

So, what we really have to do is to move from this HAVE...DO...BE model to BE...DO...HAVE model.

The crux is, believe that you already are what you want to be and do things that way. Finally, you will have that magical moment you always wanted to have. Take our first example, if you want to invest a certain amount of money every month, just start doing it. However less money it may be, just put it aside. Only when you do that, you will really know your financial situation and only then you will think about how to improve financially and more importantly, you will analyze your cash flow pattern. So, once when you start saving some amount of money monthly, without you knowing it, you would start doing things differently.

Suppose, if you want to be the best lecturer of the world, just believe that you are the best lecturer and start being one. Think like the best, and in no time you will start doing what the best will do. In no time, you will have all the qualities you need to be the BEST.

Your actions are the scientific children of your thought process. Your thought process provokes your actions. You are what you think, your mind takes any shape you insist. So, concentrate on your thought process and see tremendous difference in yourself.
