Welcome to Lifebuilder!


Why so often, when we know what we need to do to get what we want, don’t we do it? Over half the world’s affluent population is overweight or obese – and would love to be thin. The solution isn’t rocket science: if you’re overweight decrease your energy intake (food) and increase your energy output (exercise). 

One reason given for our low levels of achievement is that we struggle to delay gratification. Saying ‘no’ to chocolate cake now so that I can be thin later is a trade-off many find too painful. I don’t buy that answer. What if I If I promised you a million dollars if you agreed to run on a treadmill for an hour every day over the next six months? My bet is that you would find a way to delay gratification. You would do it because you would be getting a 100% guaranteed result. 

BUILD YOUR LIFE

 

Think of one of your goals.
Make a list of the actions you could take to make it happen.

Give yourself this guarantee: ‘Every time I do one thing on this list, I am a 100% more likely to achieve what I want than if I do nothing.’ Then take action!

Of course this kind of guarantee doesn’t exist. I may get out of my comfort zone, work hard, delay gratification and still not lose weight, get rich, become more energetic or happier. I might fail! The only 100% guarantee (apart from death and taxes!) is that if we don’t try, we definitely won’t achieve anything. But there is another guarantee: our chances of success increase with each successive attempt. Entrepreneurs fail on average 3.8 times before they finally succeed. So start clocking up those failures - that’s the only route to success!

 

Next week:
An inspirational story to help you break through the smoke screen of impossibility.

Until then – Create Your Self!
