When you are around the best, read about the best, think about the best, eventually you begin to expect the best in your own life. Even if it is entirely subconscious, there’s something that will click internally and begin to move you towards excellence. This is why your associations matter. Your environment influences your expectations about yourself.Eagles who hang out with chickens too long may forget how to fly! By setting phenomenal goals, you are intentionally focusing on the best, and your behavior will follow suit. Setting unrealistically high goals raises your performance to the level of expectation. You success is dependant on your capacity to believe. If you are placed in a situation that forces you to draw on dormant potential, your performance will change accordingly. In addition to normal goals, I personally advocate setting stretch goals: goals that will deliberately pull one out of his comfort zone. Don’t just settle for a common “been there, done that” mediocre goal. Choose something that inspires awe in your observers, and then develop a creative plan to MAKE it happen. The driving question isn’t “can I do it?” but rather “how can I do it?” Let’s be very serious: if your goal is so small that you can achieve it on your own, then it’s likely not big enough. However, if you dare to dream bigger, you stand to accomplish a fraction of your potential.
