Just like baking a cake, there is a recipe for success and it really is no more difficult than baking cake. All it takes are some very simple tiny steps.1. Think about who you are or want to be and make a declaration: "I am the possibility of being adventurous and charming.2. Now that you have created a possibility for your life, stand in that possibility and think about what your life will look like three years from now. Think about what you will have or be doing. Standing in the future as if it has already happened is the best way to create the next three years of your life.3. Each quarter (every three months) create goals based on your 3-year vision. For each quarter, create your goals by standing in the future as if they have already happened.Now, you might be asking, "Why do they keep telling me to stand in the future?" The reason why is that fantasy and reality are interpreted the same way by your subconscious. It's why you get scared when watching a horror film. Similarly, if you lifted weights every single day for three years, would the weight that you are lifting today seem as heavy? This is a key ingredient to your recipe for success.4. Much like a cook, you need a recipe to follow to bake the cake that you want because it prioritizes your actions. We'll call this recipe for success your Unleash Lifelog. One of the biggest and most frequently made mistakes is not writing things down. A good memory is a wonderful trait but writing your goals down makes them much more likely to happen because they are now real with a physical form. The funny thing is that many people experience success after writing something, never reviewing it again only to find it years later to realize that they accomplished everything on the list!If you take nothing more away from this article, we really want you to get that your world is create by your words. For example, after Sputnik was launched, President Kennedy asked NASA how many years it would take to put a man on the moon. Even the most optimistic estimates told him that it would take at least 30 years. After hearing that, in a speech at Baylor University, he said, "By the end of this decade, we will have put a man on the moon!"Kennedy stood in the future and made it happen at least 20 years before even the most optimistic experts said it could be done even though he would be assassinated six years before it was accomplished. The flipside of this story is that had Kennedy not made that declaration, the experts' beliefs would have prevailed and set back the space program by at least 20 years.While at the same time keeping you on track with the basics, this structure is key to the recipe for success because it gives you the ability to create infinite intentions, possibilities and goals.It's that simple!It's that easy! Now, you have already set your three year goals as well as goals for the next three months. But how to you guarantee that you accomplish those goals? Step by step, complete your weekly goals that you detail in your weekly Unleash Lifelog. It's like the old saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!"To further guarantee your success and even go well beyond your goals, revisiting your current goals and three year goals will propel you even farther ahead.Here's how you can revisit your quarterly goals:Open your quarterly goals log and reread each of your minimum and targeted intentions and ponder each one.If you accomplished it, congratulate yourself and place a check mark next to it.If you are absolutely, positively, 100% sure you will complete it by the end of the quarter, write "OK" beside it.If you are no longer committed to completing it because you no longer care about it or there is less than a 10% chance that you will complete it, do yourself a favor and either delete it (or put a big "X" through it) or revise it so you can absolutely complete it before the end of the quarter.A lot of people believe that this is giving up or cheating but it is not. It is simply acknowledging where you are at and what you are really up to. If you are so far behind that you absolutely cannot meet your goals then probably wouldn't have met them anyway. So, why beat yourself up? Don't stress out over something that is impossible to accomplish. Simply recreate your goals so that you can accomplish them.Remember: there is no penalty for setting modest goals and overachieving. You won't feel bad about that! However, if you set a high goal and don't achieve, you'll probably feel like a failure right? Let's look at one example: you set a goal of losing 20 pounds in 60 days but you discover that it is only healthy to lose a pound a week and you lost 5 pounds in thirty days. Would it be healthy to push to lose another 15 pounds in 30 days? Of course not! Recommitting is not failing or cheating it's just smart!
