What is the SECRET to getting what you want?


Is there a secret to getting and achieving what you want? This is a question that I constantly ask myself which I guess any normal person constantly does as well.

Often, I set off to do things which end up in failure. However, there are also times when I end up successful. So what is the secret behind the times when I am successful and the reasons behind when I am not?

The main secret is a how we control our thought.This might seem like a very simple equation, quoting Anthony Robbins:

FOCUS leads to STATE leads to ACTIONS leads to RESULTS!

In layman terms, where we focus our thoughts will create our emotions, leading to a state of mind(whether we are raring to go or still having doubts etc) when we act on it. And then depending on our state when we execute our actions, what we do(either intendedly or unintended) will eventually give us the results.

Can you recall a time when you absolutely know that you are going to be successful ie. acing an interview, passing an exam, winning at sports etc? Now think about what you were feeling then, definitely it might be one of the following emotions: clear, delighted, ecstatic, sensational, enthused, excited, spirited, passionate, optimistic etc.

In contrast, when we do something which we are doubtful about, we'll be feeling the opposite with emotions such as hesitation, anxiety, fearful, frantic, despair, vexed etc. Guess these negative feelings were what I felt when I took my motorbike tests the first six times. I only managed to get my license on the seventh try and now I'm so glad that I persevered and got my focus right on the last attempt!

Recently, there is great hype about this book "The Secret" that sets off to unveil the most powerful law behind success. In essence, what the book reveals is the law of attraction which states that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Essentially it means the same thing as what I have mentioned earlier, your initial thoughts will already predetermine whether you are successful or not, never mind what you do in between. YES, this is the SECRET! As simply as that. Here's the video, for those who have not read. It may be an hour and a half long but definitely worth your time watching.


Hope you enjoy the video and it'll help you achieve what you want!
