This is important if you think stuff like, “But I don’t know how to achieve my major definite purpose. It’s impossible to do. I have no idea how it can be done!” That doesn’t matter in the beginning. Just get started with applying the 6 steps and then your subconscious mind will give you ideas on how it could be done. Application of the 6 steps will kind of force your subconscious mind to hand over plans for you. The how-to-do-it or the plan will almost mystically appear once you start visualizing your goal as already achieved. Oh, and one more thing: It doesn’t matter if the first plan isn’t particularly good. Just get started. When the first plan fails, create a new plan. You can find out why this is important right now … 22 www.njlifehacks.com #9 If Your First Plan F ails… Replace it With a New One If the first plan which you adopt does not work successfully, replace it with a new plan, if this new plan fails to work, replace it, in turn with still another, and so on, until you find a plan which DOES WORK. Right here is the point at which the majority of men meet with failure, because of their lack of PERSISTENCE in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail. The majority of people are ready to throw their arms and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition until they attain their goal. This is HUGE. When a plan fails, then we must create a new plan. We can’t just give up at the first sign of failure. How pathetic would that be? Instead, if we always create a new plan if one failed, then we are certain to succeed sooner or later, because surely there will come a plan that works. Think about Thomas Edison for example. He needed over 10,000 attempts to eventually create a functioning lightbulb. In other words, he had to make over 10,000 new plans to achieve his goal. That’s persistence! Let’s say you want to lose weight and your plan is to make a low-fat diet. Because low- fat diets suck (in my opinion) you fail and don’t lose any weight. Most people would then simply give up. They will say they’ve tried and it didn’t work. What you should do instead in this situation, is to come up with a new plan and start again. Your new plan could be to try a high fat diet (smart idea!), create an exercise regimen, or hire a nutrition coach. There are plenty of options. What’s important: Don’t get discouraged, don’t give up, and instead create a new plan and immediately start to put that plan into action. After failing once, you are already in a much better position to succeed. You already have feedback. You know that low- fat diets don’t work for you, and you can try another approach. 23 www.njlifehacks.com I like to remind myself that “nothing works the first time”. I don’t mean it in a negative way, but as a way to remind myself to NOT give up. To not throw in the towel, but to give it a fait shot and be persi stent. That’s important: Persistence in everything we do. Let’s learn more about that…. |
