Is YOUR "Inner Voice" Holding You Back?

Take a look at this powerful message in this commercial and then carry on reading:



Success is built into us. We all want to be successful in our life whether it be personally or professionally yet why is it that some people have more drive and success than others?

Why is it that some people achieve their ideal body shape, live in the house of their dreams or simply earn more money over others?

I’ve studied plenty of people who are successful in their individual fields and I can give you a thousand secrets and formulas as to what makes up success but to be honest it all comes down to one thing, and one thing alone and it’s really simple (although not always easy!).

The ability to block out your inner voice.

Let me explain what I mean…

This is the voice in your head that likes to keep you in your comfort zone. The voice that thinks it’s looking out for you when in fact it’s holding you back from achieving success.

Sometimes the voice is loud, sometimes it’s quiet and sometimes it can be downright stubborn! It doesn’t like change and digs it's heels in at the very thought of anything new. It tries to trick you into thinking that you’re happy with your current circumstances but deep down you know you’re not, you want more.

Only last week one of my private clients had to overcome his own inner voice. We were doing a tough session. We’d done a gruelling hour of supersets and interval training throughout the workout and were finishing with a 5-minute steep hill run.

This was the perfect opportunity for his inner voice to present it self. It sensed a struggle. It wanted him to stop, to give up. He was tired and he was breathing heavy. He nearly quit, his inner voice had almost convinced him but after some encouragement from me and a little shouting in his ear (ok a lot!) he dug deep, blocked his inner voice and finished the hill run.

This is a classic example of the mind wanting to give up before the body. The fact that he finished the hill was all the proof we needed.

His inner voice tried to trick him into stopping.

The inner voice disguises itself and it can present itself anytime, anyplace, anywhere. It will kick in whenever you want to move forwards in your life.

I’m sure there’s been a situation in your life where your inner voice has held YOU back? Maybe it’s been during a workout, it could have stopped you from that career change or even booking that exotic holiday you’ve always promised yourself.

Remember, your inner voice wants you to stay in your comfort zone. It doesn’t want you to evolve. To progress.

Learning to block your inner voice has to be the single most important factor when it comes to success. If you lack the ability to dig deep, come out of your comfort zone and overcome difficult obstacles in your life, then it won’t matter where you are or what you’re doing you’ll always let your inner voice win and you will break. You will never evolve into the person you want to be.

If you refuse to quit and succeed in blocking out your inner voice, you can achieve anything you want.

Anything.

I Never Knew This Would Happen!

Just read this post from my good buddy Dax Moy and it got me thinking.

Have a read of Dax's latest post and let me know what you think in the comments section here: )

***

I've been re-writing a few sections of www.themagichundred.com The MAGIC Hundred today in order to update a few of the chapters with things I've learned since I originally launched the program in January 2007.

As I was writing away, it dawned on me how much my life has changed in the 2 short years since the program was released and how a simple decision at one moment in time can DRASTICALLY alter the hundreds, thousands and even MILLIONS of moments that follow.

You probably know what I'm talking about as it's happened to all of us, but I've got to tell you, when I started out with my 'little idea' all those years ago (even before I wrote the program) I had no idea where it would eventually lead me. No idea at all!

I mean, when I left the regular army about 8 or 9 years ago I had nothing.

No qualifications (I'd left school at 16 without taking my exams), no money (I was completely broke) and no obvious means to get either. To make matters worse, I had a young wife, 3 young kids and another one on the way, and nothing remotely approaching the slightest hint of how I was going to support them, let alone give them the things that every father and husband wants to provide for their family.

We were living in high crime council accommodation on a housing estate in North London (in what in the U.S would be known as 'projects') and claiming social security benefits in order to pay the bills and get by and dreaming of ways to improve upon our situation so that we could give our kids some of the better things in life.

I took many temporary jobs including bodyguarding, roadsweeping and even working in sewers in order to get the little bit of extra cash we needed and supplemented my income with my Reserve Forces pay from my territorial army unit weekends, camps and courses, but as fast as I was able to earn a little money it seemed to be eaten up on bills of every conceivable type so that, no matter how hard I worked, we were never able to get ahead.

It was frustrating to say the least but, like most people, it was a frustration i just had to learn to tolerate. After all, my bills had to be paid, right?

Then one day after an army weekend, I noticed one of the other guys in my patrol was reading a book in the back of the truck on the way home. He was coming to the end of it and as he finally turned the last page he glanced up and noticed me looking in his direction. Seeing I was bored he offered me the book, which I gratefully took and in that moment... started a chain reaction of events that would totally transform my life!

I'm not exaggerating.

I read that book all the way home, persuaded my patrol-mate to lend it to me until later in the week and took it home and read, and read and read.

Now, what was surprising to me was that this wasn't a new book. It was old. REALLY old, like 1920's, yet as I read through it I felt as though it had been written specifically with me in mind as it described many of the very things that I had been going through and, more importantly, why.

It told me to hold a major definite purpose uppermost in my mind, pursue it with all vigor and not to quit on it until I accomplished what I'd set out to accomplish.

So I did!

I'd always had an interest in fitness and having boxed, done martial arts and been a soldier, knew that I was naturally gifted in this area as well as passionate. I'd seen ads posted for gym instructor jobs but when I enquired they told me to go get a civilian qualification and they'd consider employing me. Trouble is, I didn't even have the £325 I needed for the YMCA gym instructor course, but the book said that I shouldn't let that put me off, so I set about getting a bunch of temporary jobs to raise the cash.

Eventually I did the course, got qualified and went back to the gym where they told me they only had work for me for 2 hours a week in the shifts that no-one else wanted and that the pay was a measly £5 an hour. I took the job and again, changed the course of my life.

In short, that job led to me becoming a personal trainer, becoming a trainer led me to owning my own studios, owing my own studios led to me working directly with people like Bob Proctor and Joe Vitale from The Secret and working with those guys led to me writing the www.themagichundred.com MAGIC Hundred Goal Achievement Program which sold over $107,000 in the first 7 days of launch and that has led to me traveling the world, speaking at international events and teaching my own rapid goal achievement philosophy to thousands and thousands of people.

Since making that first teeny-tiny decision to read that book instead of going to sleep like my patrol-mates, literally EVERYTHING about my life has changed and I find myself in the weird and rather unlikely position of being some kind of 'goals guru' to people from all around the world who I've never even met and earning more money than I ever thought I'd earn whilst traveling the world and having all kinds of adventures.

It's very strange indeed!

Nice, but strange : )

I now live the kind of life that I'd only dreamed about before with travel all over the world to jungles, deserts and arctic wastelands as well as luxury hotels, secluded islands and all manner of other places that I'd only ever seen in books before I started on this amazing journey that my life has become.

But looking back at how I got to this point in my life and the opportunities I now have before me, I can honestly say it all started with reading that one book. It's as though that one decision was like setting a compass bearing just slightly off course to the original path I'd been on at the time, yet which over the weeks, months and years has moved far off the original course to deliver me to the place I'm at now.

I guess you're wondering 'What's this got to do with me?' right?

Well, nothing I guess...

...and EVERYTHING!

You see, just as my own life has been created by each of the decisions I've made along the way, so has yours.

Everything you've experienced so far is the result of the decisions you've made (or failed to make) up to this point.

That's a fact.

The good news is that that means you can also decide where you want to go, what you want to do and who you want to be just by the simple and straightforward act of making a decision right now. I mean LITERALLY right now!

Just choose to act on something you've been putting off, something you've been 'thinking about' or something that's been tickling away at the edge of your mind and you too could find yourself living the life of your dreams in some not-too-distant future.

I mean it.

It happened to me so why not you?

Make a decision TODAY my friend.

Set a new course!

Truth, joy and love

P.S - I almost forgot, I bet you want to know what that book was that started off my magnificent adventure, right?

Put your best guess below and I'll tell you tomorrow : )

(I know, nasty huh?) : )

***

Hmmm, got me thinking, more from Dax tomorrow : )

When Will YOU Start?

Well, Dax promised he'd be back 'tomorrow' and it's been a week.

A family emergency got in the way and he was unable to get back to us and share some more of his goal achievement 'secrets' but he's finally back with another interesting and thought provoking message to help us achieve your goals faster.

Today he's answering the most common question that his thousands of readers often ask about goal achievement and success.

"When Should I Begin?"

Believe it or not, it's a really common question!

People are of the belief that there is some special 'buildup' they have to go through in order to achieve what they want or that they have to 'prepare' or 'get ready' or have all their ducks in a row before they can finally go after what they want.

They tell themselves they'll start to pursue their goals...

...tomorrow
...next week
...next year
...when the kids get out of school
...when the kids go back to school
...when there is more time
...when things settle down
...when there are less bills
...when there is more money
...when the moment it right

And all the while they delay the pursuit of those things that would make them happiest because of... something. Some 'reason' for why they couldn't possibly go after their goals right here, right now.

So here's Dax's answer.

(I think you know it already) : )

Start right here, right now with whatever resources you have at your disposal to build the life that you most dream about having.

You see, you can carry on dreaming about the things you want or you can do something about them.

You can let the daily routine of your current life run the show or you can make the changes you want to see.

You can keep putting off and delaying your happiness until 'someday' or you can begin doing the things you know you are capable of doing TODAY!

The choice is yours.

You have the power to choose.

You see, it's all too easy to fall into the same old routine of saying to yourself 'someday I'll do it but right now I just have too much on my plate'.The truth is, you will ALWAYS have tons of things to do, tons of people to see, tons of places to go, chores to be done and bills to be paid.

That's life for us all, right?

But if you don't at least START building the life of your dreams, regardless of how busy, tired, stressed, broke you are then you stand zero chance of ever getting there don't you?

So start today my friends.

Start today.

You don't have to do much. You don't have to change the world in an afternoon. Just change one thing. Do one thing different to how you did it yesterday and you've begun to move your life on a different course. This is the REAL 'secret' of goal achievement.

It's taking action.

But you knew this already, right? : )

P.S - What one action are you committed to taking TODAY? Write it in the comments area... I dare ya! :)

What Were You Doing 77 Days Ago?

Hi

What were you doing 77 days ago?

I know, funny question, but there is a point, you see, today is day 76 of 2009 which means that 77 days ago you were celebrating New Year’s Eve and, like most people, you were setting up your New Year’s Resolutions and goals.

And look, here we are at day 76 already.

Time goes by pretty quick, huh?

But I’m not just mailing you to act as some kind of timekeeper or clockwatcher, rather I wanted to share with you something that I’ve been thinking about a lot this week.

You see, it recently dawned on me that, we’re already approaching the end of the first quarter of 2009 and that many of the goals I’d set for myself this year haven’t even been started. In truth, many of them haven’t even been thought about.

It’s not like they’re not important to me. They are, many of them would REALLY change my life for the better if I could bring them to life but, well, I just haven’t seemed to get around to them.

I bet you’re the same right?

I bet you have a huge list of things that you KNOW would absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt change your life for the better, yet you haven’t taken a single, solitary action on them, right?

Weird isn’t it?

For instance in my own life I know that these goals are important to me:

1. To have some kind of break, holiday or adventure every 12 weeks.

As much as I love running my own personal training company I tend to be extremely busy most of the time and rarely have time to "switch off" from it, so I made a promise to myself at the start of 2009 to schedule in more holidays. Infact schedule one in every 12 weeks.

There are soo many places in the world I want to visit (Grand Canyon, Great Wall Of China, Garden Of Gods, A Carribean Cruise, Adventures in Krabbi Jungle in Thailand) but haven't even done ANY of them yet!

2. To continue to develop my knowledge base by reading a book every week.

When I think back to when I was a young lad growing up, I used to ALWAYS be reading. There was nothing I liked better than to read. It made me happy. Nowadays it feels like I never have time to read.

I'd like to get back to reading one book a week.

3. Earn Extra Income

Yep, I make no bones about this goal. I want to make money, and lots of it too! For the pure and simple fact that I (and my family)can have a good quality of life and experience the things that I may not be able to if I didn't have money.

4. To Squat 200kgs fo 5 reps and increase my muscle mass!

I love challenging myself whether it be professionally or personally. This goes for my fitness goals too. I'm squatting 140kgs at the moment and I want to get up to 200kgs. I also want to add an extra half a stone of lean muscle mass to my physique too.

Challenging myself is an important part of my life. It helps me to stay focused.

5. Write my new e-book.

I've planned it for ages and even written a bunch but I'm still behind schedule if I'm to get it done this year.

I have plenty more....: )

Most likely you’ve got a bunch like this too haven’t you?

For example, what financial goals did you set for yourself on New Year’s Eve?

What about your health goals? I KNOW you had a bunch of those!

How about adventures? We all want to travel more and experience more and I bet you had set some goals in this department, right?

Not to mention relationships, education, family and career goals.

I bet you had a bunch, yet where are you with them?

That’s not a rhetorical question,I mean it. Where are you with these goals?

Did you achieve them as you said you would?

More to the point, did you even START them?

I know that I didn’t even BEGIN many of the goals I set at the start of the year. I know they’re important to me, I know they’ll change my life in more positive ways than I can even begin to tell you but for some strange reason, I haven’t even begun to chase them yet.

Like I said, weird.

So look, I’ve got this mad, crazy idea.

I want to help you achieve YOUR goals over the course of this year and I want you to keep ME on track. Sound like a fair deal?

It starts today.

Tell me what your most important, most pressing goals are and I’ll tell you mine and (hopefully) together we can see 2009 through in great style.

Of course, you could simply ignore this and pass it off as silly but, well, that’ll just mean that the next 76 days are just like the first, and the ones after that, and the ones after that.

I need help to bring my goals to life.

So do you.

So let’s do this!
