 So in this video I'll explain to you exactly why setting really really high goals is actually much more effective even if you're let's say in debt or in a scarcity mindset where you just need that $5,000 or $2,000 more or you just need to lose that 10 pounds or just finding that one girl even in these cases why it's actually best and most effective to set really really long term super huge massive goals so I'll start this off by quoting Bruce Lee who said famously that goals aren't actually things that are meant to be accomplished of course you would like to accomplish them but their purpose isn't to be accomplished their purpose is to serve as aims so things we can actually aim for and then you know hope for the best and hope we get as far out there as we can so I want to kind of use an analogy of comparing goals with destinations and I'm talking about logistical destinations as in you want to get from here to there physically so your destination your goal is going to be probably tell me if you're a different person but it's probably going to be what actually is the factor where you actually choose which type of vehicle you use so let's say that you have a small girl a small goal like oh I just need an extra $3,000 a month this is analogous to oh I just want to go from here to the local supermarket that's a three minute walk now let me ask you this now obviously I'm not saying that getting that money that you need is as easy as taking a walk to the supermarket but I'm talking about using distance of location as kind of a comparison to goals because if you look at the size of your goals I guess you would agree that wanting to have an extra 3,000 a month is really not the most furthest away goal you can set it's not like like aiming for a million for example it's kind of a different scope or a billion for that matter so let's say that you're planning for a trip a small trip because you're in scarcity so you just need that bit of money so you plan for a small trip oh I just need that bit of money I just need a bit more money and then I'll be happy that will fix my problems now if you plan on a small trip to the supermarket that takes three four minutes which vehicle are you most likely to use are you going to get a car I really don't think so like it's very rare that you'll use a car for a three minute drive a three minute walk so it's like a 30 second drive now would you use a plane to get from here to there of course not but would you walk sure now let's say that you set a medium-sized goal like okay I don't aim for just that 3,000 that would save me please I just need that bit of money against scarcity but let's move to a conservative type of goal where you think oh I'll just I just I want to have an extra 100,000 a year or I want to be a millionaire when I'm older now of course I don't just mean money you know fuck money I mean I mean everything I mean I just want to be this happier I just want to have a nice house I just want to be this famous or this successful I'm not looking for massive success no no I just want this much success I just need that much success okay so conservative everything it doesn't matter which area you're talking about don't just consider money we're talking about goals you know I just want to lose this much pounds I just want to be this much hella I don't want to be the best or I don't want to be like super super healthy no just this much so when you set these kinds of goals if it's the medium size well you know that's analogous to taking the car because if you're going to take a trip that takes a 10 minute drive 15 minute drive 20 minute drive obviously you know you're not going to walk that distance you could but it's not really effective it's kind of a waste of time um so you'll use the car now let's say that you're aiming really really big like I want to be mega mega famous I want to be super successful I want to be super famous I want to be super healthy I want to have mega relationships everything is is big and it's not big because I told you it's big because why the fuck not like let's aim big what's going to happen is that when you aim big you're probably going to go big and then you're going to take uh the the fastest vehicle you can afford uh might be an airplane for for our analogy but you know for for practical sake it just means you'll take the most amount like the biggest amount of massive action you can take if you do you think that if you just need that extra two thousand dollars a month you're going to take massive action like real real real massive action most likely not because these kinds of goals they don't aspire they're they're the goals out of necessity out of need so you actually aim for you know just an extra three thousand dollars you're probably going to get to an extra thousand extra two thousand and then now now that you have that extra money it doesn't feel as urgent anymore because because you kind of got a bit better you see but if you aim really big you know I mean you you can make an extra million and you'll still say okay wow I'm still super far away now I'm not saying you know never be satisfied in the sense that don't love your life like don't enjoy it until you have everything in the world like no that's not the point it's not to always be like chasing stuff the point is that you aim really far and then you keep going the movement is actually very very enjoyable it's not like something that you suffer you know I don't suffer because even though I have a good body already I keep going to the gym and getting even better I don't suffer because even though I am getting clients and everything is really cool I want to be even bigger and I'm not even one percent at my potential yet or at least at my goals which when I get to them I'll probably think oh I want I want it even bigger now so the bigger the goal uh the bigger the vehicle or the faster the vehicle that you'll use to get to the goal so the irony is that the guy who needs two thousand dollars and aims for that he actually will take more time if he even reaches that much money when you compare him to the guy who aims for a hundred thousand and the guy who aims for a hundred thousand is going to get the two thousand even slower probably than the guy who aims for a hundred million because the higher you aim the bigger you think and the more actions you're going to take because it inspires you more again don't set goals from the head I used to make that mistake like oh when I make this much money then I'll be happy no I'm talking about goals that already just thinking about that makes you happy like for me thinking about being famous is like fuck yeah like I just thinking about it I feel good thinking about being healthy fuck yeah thinking about being kind of mindful and present fuck yeah like how do you think I meditate an hour every day with so easily it's because I love the goal it's just it's a massive goal I don't want to be a bit more in the moment I want to be like bam you know and it's not that I won't be happy until then is that I have I'm happy pursuing it that's why on the sorry for all the Americans if I'm mistaken I'm so sorry but that's why in the in the bill of rights I think constitution bill of right in one of them oh in the declaration of independence there's the saying the pursuit of happiness the right for the pursuit of happiness maybe it was intentional maybe it was a mistake maybe thought happiness is something you actually reach at some point but no the the pursuit of what makes you happy is the happiness it's it's a very um it's a very cool thing like going after the things that make you happy makes you happy and then getting them makes you even happier and sometimes you don't get them and that makes you a bit less happy but but just going after them in general makes you happy the mistake that most people make is that they go after things that are that from a scarcity standpoint that will prevent pain so when you always focus on preventing pain then uh the further along you get the more you're like okay I have to prevent this pain even more oh my god it's not stopping I have I need even more prevention more but when you go after what makes you happy what right now makes you makes you happy not possibly theoretically in the future but just thinking about it makes you happy then uh you know it's like oh I'm so happy I'm going after what I want and then you you get a bit of it you look oh my god I'm getting some of it so that's amazing and then you get more of it oh my god I get more and it's just an upward cycle of increasing happiness you know with obvious ups and downs because we're human but yeah it's it's a journey towards up not towards conservation or or escaping pain so I hope this makes a lot of sense I hope you understand now why it's better to set big goals than just have regular goals again there's really no drawback to setting big goals the people who actually were burned or had like a bad experience with setting big goals are always the people that had the pain type of goals that I'm talking about you know like oh if this works I'll be happy and then they failed and they were miserable but you know when you have something that makes you happy like oh I love doing music okay so aim big at it but why aim for 10 people uh hearing you why not aim for a hundred thousand uh because again you aim for a hundred thousand well you you're gonna start thinking bigger naturally and taking more action simply for the fact that it makes you more happy and more excited to think about it not because like oh my god it's even bigger I have to reach it oh no it's I have to take more no no no no no no no it's because oh my god this is so amazing this is so cool this is bigger if this is possible that's so awesome I need to check it out I want to do it it's amazing that's the kind of place that you want to be getting from not the hurt type of place again I hope this makes sense um and thanks for watching feel free to ask me any questions and tell me what you think
