As you may know, in our seminars, I teach a segment on how to achieve anything you want in life. I have become such a believer in this, I wanted to give you a small example of how coming up with a goal can work for you.

A couple of years ago I had a goal. I really wanted to help people all over the world live the healthiest lives that they possibly could. Obesity has become such a big problem here in the U.S. and is really beginning to show its ugly head even in countries such as Japan, China and Korea due to the popularity of fast processed foods. Teaching people to be healthy was it for me.

I have studied health and fitness over the last thirty years and have come up with a very simple plan that will help practically anyone that wants to live healthy and become strong, thin, younger looking and more confident in themselves.

The goal that I came up with a couple of years ago has become reality with my new book "IMPRESS THE WORLD WITH YOUR BODY IN SEVEN DAYS." It started with a thought, which then became a goal. I wrote the goal down in my book of goals and read it every single day. Then it happened. I am now teaching people how to be healthy.

Writing your goal down and reading it every day is crucial because your brain transforms thoughts, and actually figures out a way to make them happen. This has worked over and over for me. I am positive that goal setting will work for you as well.

Because of goals, I am living the exact life that I desire. It's a real life. And let me add to that, when you experience inner happiness, your entire life changes. The little things that perhaps used to seem big and bothersome don't mean anything anymore. I know in my case if someoneo looks at me the wrong way or says something that would upset the average person, I just laugh it off. Because I know my life is good, I simply smile.

Unfortunately, many people's lives revolve around what they drive, how big of a house they have, or even how many "things" they can accumulate. But unfortunately many of these people are empty inside. As my reader, I don't necessarily think you are in this category, but I am bringing this up because I feel it's so damn important. Trust me on this one - I deal with a lot of people. I could go on and on about this but not now. Perhaps in a future blog entry.

But today my goal is to convince you that you need to figure out what you want in your life. What is really important to you. And if you say "my BMW is important to me," than I will tell you that you better reevaluate! A BMW is a hunk of metal. How about your life? How about your relationships? Maybe start there. Yes, that's smart!!!

Maybe you say "it's family and love that is important to me." Or perhaps living the healthiest life possible. Yeah, now you are getting it. I knew you had it in you! So if love is important, write down in your book of goals things the things that you will do to ensure that your life will be full of love. It may take some thinking. Just try, I'm telling you it works.

Example: The other day as I came home, I pulled up into my driveway, got out of my car, looked around and said to myself, I am such a lucky guy. I am living a great life. I am surrounded with love. And that's what it's all about.

But actually, none of this was "lucky." I figured out what was important to me and wrote it all down. And I read it every day. It works for me and I am positive that it will work for you. No matter what your circumstances are at this moment.

My goal started by wanting to help people become healthier. Now I have a book that is doing just that. And it won't stop with the book. I've been on the radio helping people, and these days I'm starting to get calls from TV stations that want me to teach their viewers. All this just from a goal on paper.

Hey, if David Madow can do this, I seriously believe any of you out there that want to do it can. It simply takes a little discipline. Figure out what it is that you want and go for it. Never give up!!! And one more thing, if anyone tells you this won't work, please run as FAST as possible from that individual. Only associate yourself with positive people. Get the losers and the rats out of your life! It'll be the best thing you could ever do for yourself!

Thanks for reading. I will be back soon with something incredibly interesting. So don't go far.

Dave
