On the bookshelf behind my desk there are a large amount of books about the best way to achieve success. Nearly every single one of those books commends, at some specific point of the narrative, that you use the same tool. It's not tricky and it is within the understanding of any healthy human being.
A foundation stone of all NLP techniques also focusses on the same point. It comes up time and again during our NLP Practitioner training.
Hence if you're not achieving the success that you covet, what is it you are not doing that is making you fail? It can not be that you're purposely self-sabotaging. It cannot be that you don't want to succeed. Is it perhaps that you are not putting in enough effort?
No the truth of the matter is you're not setting your sights high enough.
Yes, I understand, may well have a fear that the higher you shoot the more likely you are to feel disappointed when you fail.
But whether you fail by aiming for an easy target or you fail by aiming for the moon, it will still be a failure, so you might as well aim at the moon.
And the great point about targeting high is that you will be aiming towards a target that is far more exciting and thus even more likely to inspire your efforts. You will find that you can get much more worked up about a target that will change your life than about a target that will only make an unimportant difference.
In NLP we talk all of the time about "excellence". We inspire people to aim at excellence. We train people in the easy way to model excellent behaviour and to replicate that behaviour in their own habitual activities. Once your behaviour becomes excellent there is every possibility that you'll succeed and make your dreams become reality.
