I Need You to Cheat on Your Spouse…

Yep, I’ve got the answer to all of your dreams of success and prosperity, and all you need to do is practice a little indiscretion!

Okay, maybe “cheat on your spouse” and “indiscretion” are too severe of a description, but I do need you to start spreading the Love around if you want to achieve success.

What I am talking about here is not actually stepping out on your spouse or significant other, but it does involve you falling in love – with your goals, that is!

I was actually inspired to write this post while responding to this comment over at my Fitness Destinations blog, when it occurred to me that being in love with your goals is the key to attaining them.

How can being in love with a goal cause it to manifest into your life?

Because you will do anything to get it!

Do you remember back when you were in high school and you would do anything to be with the girl or the guy that you were head over heels in love with?

You know, that girl who had the picture perfect body and the face of an angel? The one that you would mow down all opposition for, and that you would walk miles in the snow or rain just to be able to hang out at her house, hold her hand, and hopefully get a kiss before the night was over?

What about that guy with the dreamy eyes, and the smile that made you melt every time you saw it? As far as you were concerned, you and him were made for each other, and you would have left behind every friend and family member that you had if he had asked you to run away with him.

THAT’S the kind of love that I am talking about here, and that’s the kind of love that you need to have for your goals. Do you know why you need to have that sort of love for your goals?

Because you will likely need to mow down opposition, walk miles in the snow and rain, and you may even have to leave some of your friends  and family members behind!

The problem with people who are not attaining their goals is not a lack of opportunity or knowledge, but rather a lack of willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.

Oh sure, people say that they are willing to do whatever it takes. They say that “this time will be different”. They say that they will not let anything stand in their way.

But then what happens? They let things stand in their way. And their goals don’t get accomplished.

This is what happens when you are not truly, madly, deeply, head over heels in love with your goals! Deep down inside where it counts, you simply want your goals. In fact, you may even really want them.

However, until you profess your undying love for your goals, and you pledge to have and to hold them until death do you part, through sickness and in health, you aren’t in love.

If that’s the case, you might want to think about sparking up that love affair before you end up as a bitter old man or woman sitting on your porch all by yourself thinking back on all the lost-love goals that never came to fruition!
