Set your goals (Jim Rohn, TD Jakes, Jordan Peterson, Les Brown) Powerful Motivational Speech 2021

if you have powerful goals well designed and plenty of them to stir your imagination here's what they will do goals become like a magnet and the bigger they are and the stronger they are and the longer the list and the more things you'd like to acquire during the course of your lifetime the stronger they pull and here's the other advantage in setting goals so that these goals begin to pull you in that forward future direction they pull you through all kinds of downtime all kinds of nighttime experiences all kinds of winters you can much more easily survive the next crisis the next winter of your life if you have well set goals finely tuned places you want to go things you want to do people you want to meet skills you want to develop fortune you want to make benevolence you want to engage in if all of that becomes powerful and clear and you're on your way i promise you no matter what happens those goals will pull you through you won't be lost in the middle because you'll be able to see beyond it's easy to pull things back it's very hard to ramp things up and i'd rather start with something that's too big and pull it back into reality then start with something that's so easy that you can't really get it up for example you know don't set your goals realistically set them entirely unrealistic i mean shoot for 80 and be disappointed when you hit 70 as opposed to shooting for 20 in being ecstatic when you hit 21. we beat our goal yeah but it was logo you know i think i think to be frustrated and achieving something rather than ecstatic and and achieving less is a better way to live not to mention you achieve more um so uh i'm a great believer in that the greater good like those things are like so big they're ridiculous i mean like you know my goal is 100 year goal is called world peace [Music] you know so daunting you know but that's the idea if i fail uh and i certainly won't achieve it in my lifetime i like to think that what i'll contribute towards that ridiculous idealistic nonsense goal um will be more than if i say if i can just be happy by myself in my little house you know right right i mean that's nice and all but that's good i like the idea of contributing to your neighbor as well you see the beautiful part about goals and understanding it is goals are not to get goals is not you don't set goals for acquisition you set goals to grow you set goals to reach inside and stretch and go where you've never been you set goals to take you to a place you've never gone before and you grow as a human being and you know something you never go back in order to be successful you must have one big goal i give a goal setting exercise all over the world that is life changing i go back a year later or two years later or three years later and i have thousands of people come up to me almost like a ghoul or a sage and they say you changed my life you made me rich and i said it was the goals wasn't it and they said yes it was the goals how did you know and what i teach is this is take a piece of paper make a list of 10 goals that you'd like to achieve in the next 12 months these are one year goals now sometimes i'll have a one day one week one month three months six months but they're all goals that you want to accomplish within 12 months then you look over this list and you say if i could wave a magic wand and achieve any one goal on this list within 24 hours which one goal would have the greatest positive impact on my life and then you look at your list of 10 and the answer will jump out at you and that becomes your major definite purpose this becomes your major goal then you transfer this to a clean sheet of paper and you write a deadline when you want to achieve this goal you make a list of everything that you could think of that you could do to achieve this goal you then organize this list like a checklist in order of sequence what do you do first what do you do second what you do third and then you take action on your goal and then you do something on that goal every day seven days a week it's a very simple system decide the most important goal write it down make a plan work on it every day and then all of your other goals will start to move forward you'll start to make progress on the big goal but all the other goals will start to move forward almost without you even paying attention to them so that's really the key to success is single focus warren buffett and bill gates were at a dinner party with bill gates father and a large number of other people at bill gates home in seattle last year and they were chatting with each other they're very good friends and somebody came up to them and said excuse me gentlemen i don't mean to interrupt you but you're three of the most important most successful people in the world bill gates and warren buffett are number one number two wealthiest men in the world what would you say is the most important ingredient for success and they all stopped and broke off their conversation and all turned simultaneously and looked at the man and said focus focus is the most important quality for success if you can focus you can do anything if you can't focus you must always work for someone else who will make you focus now wonderfully enough focusing is like learning how to ride a bicycle or type with a keyboard it's a learnable skill you can learn to focus by practicing focus until it becomes automatic one of my favorite quotes is from goethe the german philosopher and he said everything is hard before it's easy so the formation of any new habit is hard before it's easy you have to keep working at it it's just like a bicycle you keep falling down you have to keep getting back up again until finally it becomes easier and easier and soon it becomes automatic and when you automatically get up each day plan your day and work on your most important goal your whole life will transform tell your kid here's an impossible thing why don't you go out and fail you say here's something worth going after here's a step you could take that would push you beyond where you are but that you also have a reasonably high probability of succeeding right they call that within a time frame within some time frame that's the other thing you have to parameterize it with regards to timeframe that's right and that puts you in the zone of proximal development and that's a that's a concept that was generated by a guy named vygotsky he was a russian developmental psychologist and a smartman it's where the idea of the zone comes from to be in the zone but when you're in the zone you're expanding your skills at in a manner that's intrinsically rewarding because you're succeeding so you want to set if you're good to yourself you think okay i need to set a goal but i need to set a goal that someone as stupid and useless as me could probably attain if they put some effort into it and then you got then you've got it perfectly because it's not so high that it's grandiose or impossible that you fail necessarily and then justify your bitterness it's like well i could do well because that happens to people happens all the time yeah it's like this all the time you know it's like it's yes exactly well i set a goal and i didn't attain it so i'm not going to set any more goals right it's like no you set a goal that was inappropriate for the time frame that's right you didn't calibrate it properly and and you're playing a trick on yourself because you wanted to fail so that you could justify not having to try that's why being a victim yeah which isn't helpful you're still going to be a victim it's like there's no way out of that man so you know because life is this life is a challenge that in some sense can't be surmounted so there's no way out of your problem but there are certainly proper ways of dealing with it yeah and i want you really right now once again start thinking about your goals and about your dreams and as you begin to envision them one of the things that i think it's very important that we have to always go back to as you look at your goals and dreams and i want you to expand them and it's very important to realize that i i found that most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss most people fail in life because they did just like i did for so many years they aim to load and hit they didn't believe in themselves so i want you right now as we begin to think about the lessons and all the things that you've experienced and all of the comments and stories and strategies and lessons that you've had i think it's time to revisit and look at your goals and dreams and let's raise the bar i remember as a kid we would be in the backyard and we would play jumping somebody would get on one side and stick my sister and then my brother we were running we'd jump over it and then they say raise it a little bit higher we have to back up we right away jump over it again and then we say raise it up a little higher and the higher it got we have to begin to change our approach and how we're going to get over the bar and that's the same thing in life and so right now i want you to think about your goals and dreams as you begin to raise them a little higher and i want you to say with me it's possible it's possible i said there is a word from the lord for you this morning but part of it is really looking at the journey and the purpose that god has for our lives [Music] but their frustration is in the process and you cannot have the purpose until you go through the process we need faith to praise god while we are in motion on the way on the journey headed to the destination and you cannot allow all of the critics and problems and issues and naysayers for there is one god not eight not seven not six not even three there is one god father god in the name of jesus we thank you for the word we thank you for the power we thank you for the clarity of thought the nimbleness of mine the ability to articulate demonstrate and declare definitively the absolute infallible immutable unchanging eternal word of the lord what is your mission do you serve a god who can relate with your moanings your groanings your achings your willingness that even when you don't know how to express yourself he can be touched by how you feel if you're glad about him relating to your life right now what is your mission it's gonna take some time it's gonna take some time it's gonna take some time what you're worried about it's gonna take some time what you're trying to get over it's gonna take some time what you're trying to get to it's gonna take some time what you're trying to get from it's gonna take some time what the bible calls do time what is your mission can you handle the stress can you handle it the anxiety the loneliness the alienation the thing that made joseph incredible the life could throw anything on him that he didn't manage plans in us a tenacity and a commitment to the things of god that is so strong that no question against us shall be able to prosper and every tongue that rises against us god will condemn in jesus name what is your mission they don't understand that when god starts maneuvering you he will show you the destination but in the process it will shift and you thought you were going to be up your first test is survive being down if i'm gone in the pit i'll be gone in the palace but until you can praise me i'm gonna put him on the spot what is your mission i won't just praise god in the palace i will praise him in the pit before you earn the right to praise god when you're on top you have to praise god when you're in the valley there are certain things joseph learned in the pit how easily his brothers would sell it for 20 pieces of silver they sold it you have to learn that so you don't trust the arm of flesh he did everything right and they still lie them he learned that having the favor of men will not afford the destiny of god what is your mission do you see yourself on a mission they don't even recognize it do you not know that the people who knew you when you were sitting back there sometimes they don't even recognize you when you're sitting up there he came onto his own he's all received did not when god put something in you don't worry about what they take off you because what is in you will always outweigh what's on you and still function from a position of clarity what is your mission why is there a sense of mission pulling you along oh it's coming shut that door what is your mission don't let the pitch fool you when god put something in you don't worry about what they take off you because what is in you will always outweigh what's on you
