Putting It Out There and Motivation

So why blog and tell heaps of people what my goal is?

Well put it this way, how easy would it be to give up if only my girls knew what I was doing?

 Easy right?

But how much harder is it to give up when you`ve told a ton of other people what your goal is?
Yep... way harder!
Enter  instant motivation.

I think this is what people into Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) call forced focus.

 Try it next time you have a specific goal. Want to lose 5 Kg or be able to run 10km, tell 10 people that`s what you`re doing and when you`ll do it by. You`ll be surprised at how much harder it is to give up.

But what if I fail, won`t I just end up looking like an idiot?

Yeah maybe, but if I`ve given it a red hot shot that`s better than not trying. (and if I`m close but haven`t reached my goal by the 26th Jan the world doesn`t end, I`ll just extend my timeline)

I heard a quote from an elderly woman the other day when asked to give one piece of advice to the younger generation, she said "bite off more than you can chew and then chew like mad!"

So here we go, one big bite coming up.....
