You are programmed to get the results you are getting

You are programmed to behave the way you behave and that makes the results you are getting in your life predictable.

In order to change that - if you are not satisfied with your results - you need to change that programming.

I've seen people that you would otherwise count out make enormous strides in their lives and attain great success because they got clear and set goals, eliminated non-productive activities, reset their paradigm, and executed day after day.

When you focus on 'process' you will get the results you want.

If you focus on the results first, it is also predictable that you will lose interest because you have no emotional attachment to what you're doing.

An example of this type of mindset is setting a goal such as making a certain dollar amount from your investing or trading.

The goal should be about attaining that dollar amount from the result of specific behavior - the behavior is the goal - not the dollar amount.

And when you attach a powerful emotion to your behavior, the odds of your hitting your goals change to greatly in your favor.

You can achieve the success you imagine if you want to - it comes down to relative strength.

The question becomes "are you going to be remain uncomfortable sitting in your current dirty diaper getting the results you think you don't want," or "are you going to be uncomfortable making the changes you want?"

You get to choose what type of discomfort you want in your life.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anaïs Nin
