Try This Thought Experiment To Achieve Your Goals

The number of people with huge ambitions may perhaps be less than those who think that they are leading a contented life. Even among ambitious folks, only those who make their plans and put those plans into action are likely to succeed. Others will have to remain where they are till the end of their life because they are just day-dreamers. If you belong to the group of those with huge goals and if you have set your goal, you can try the following thought experiment to fast-track your success journey. Unfortunately, this experiment is not very popular and that is why not many pursue it. But ancient relics seem to contain details of it. Never forget the fact that ancient relics, in general, do not talk about scandalous stories. So, you can afford to be bullish on the experiment. Let us dig a little deeper into it. 

What does this experiment need?

The point that this experiment is related to the mind and not one that is carried out in a laboratory is worth reiteration. Does this mean that it does not have any conditions? No. It does come with a few conditions and you have to necessarily fulfill them. The foremost condition is that you should be very specific about your goal. This means you should have a crystal clear goal. There should not be any ambiguity or tentativeness in it. Secondly, you must be clear about the date before which you want to achieve your goal. You must be wise and adopt a practical approach while deciding this date, You cannot just say that you will become a millionaire in a couple of days, lose 10 Kgs. within a week, and similar such impractical goals. 

Next, you must ensure that you have tremendous discipline to pursue this experiment. To put it simply, you should diligently carry out the experiment day after day after day with the same sincerity as that is required for a Biblical ritual. Of course, you may have other interests that may compete with your aim of achieving your ambition. The argument that you should attend to those interests as well is sheer poppycock. Achieving your goal is much much more important than all those interests and so, you should have undiluted commitment towards it.

What is the experiment?

You should accord top-most priority to this experiment. This means you should carry it out thrice or at least twice a  day without fail. To put it harshly, you should be ruthless in following this ritual. If you say that you do not have time to schedule these sessions in your day, it is a false alibi. If you do an honest analysis of your day's routine, you can find ways to shave off all the wasteful activities you indulge in. 

The first session must begin as soon as you wake up in the mornings and become fresh enough to pursue it. If possible, you can have the second session in the late afternoon. The third session is just before you retire for bed.

The sessions will yield the best results if there is complete silence in the place where you sit. Begin the session by having a few deep breaths so that your mind becomes calm. Of course, deep breaths can help in some other ways as well. They will supply adequate oxygen to your system and so, you can be more efficient while focusing during the sessions. 

Now, bring to your mind the details of your goal. Start thinking that you have actually achieved your goal. Remember that your brain is a strange machine. As soon as you think that you have already achieved your goal, your brain will help you visualize the scenes of the situation in which you experience the fruits of your goal. Retain the scenes in your mind and keep enjoying the experience as long as you can.

Initially, you cannot have longer sessions thanks to the vulnerability of human beings to getting diverted by external distractions. You need not worry about it because overcoming the temptations of diversions is an acquirable skill. If you practice consistently, you can increase the duration. The only point is that you should ensure to improve your focusing skills every day. If you do these mind experiments continuously, things will work out to your favor which means that opportunities will start coming your way. You need not have qualms as to whether those opportunities will bear fruits or not. Utilize them immediately and take the appropriate action. You are certain to make a quantum leap and achieve your big dream very soon.
