Knowing what you want seems easy enough. But it isn't until you try to go and get it - do you realize 'it aint that easy'. Well, we can do ourselves a favor and start off on the right foot by making sure we know exactly 'what' we want and all the reasons 'why' we want it.

If you know those two simple things, 'what' and more important 'why', you greatly increase your chances of success. In the video below we outline a process for setting up goals and making them work for you. Not you working for them, which is how most of us do it.

The video is part of The 60 Days To Live Challenge where you are pushed to lived your most inspired self for 60 straight days. Check it out at www.60DaysToLive.com. Also note there is a worksheet you can download to help you focus on what you really want. Click here and look underneath the video for the worksheet download link. Do note you have to be a member to get the worksheet (but membership is free).

The 60 Days To Live Challenge is a web event you don’t want to miss. It’s  a one of a kind experience where for 60 straight days you’re challenged to live your most inspired and empowered self.

Just imagine what you could do in 60 days if you accepted the challenge and was pushed to make it the most powerful 60 days of your life.

Sign up is free, but with limited space. The next cycle of the challenge begins the first day fo spring, March 21st. If you want to change your life, do a little spring cleaning, and reach the potential you have inside, check out The 60 Days To Live Challenge.

When we put thing into the right context, the world changes because suddenly our current condition is no longer our main concern.

The key is to learn how to use context to not only short-circuit terrible feelings and emotions, but also how to use  it as a “mind hack” to get the most out of ourselves.

During The 60 Days To Live Challenge we will really work on putting things into context. So sign up here, it’s free.

I thought this was a powerful example of how small shifts can have profound effects. Small things like how something is said, when it’s said, who it’s said to.

These small things can and do shape outcomes. So as you think about improving your life or the lives of those you care about, never discount the power of small things.

Pause for a minute and think about your life. Think about where you are mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bring to mind all the things that are important to you. Maybe it’s family, friends, money, your big screen T.V., or even the Dallas Cowboys. It doesn’t matter as long as it contributes to your happiness and wellbeing. Once you have in your mind everything that means something to you, ask yourself this question.

Would I Give My All To Keep These Things In My Life?

There’s only two answers: yes or no. Let’s start with the good news. If you said yes, then you just admitted that you’re willing to give MORE to keep these things in your life.

Case in point: how hard do you work, on a day in, day out basis, to cherish your family and loved ones? I’m not talking about going to work to support them or showing up.
