Even though the University of Scranton studies proved 92% of people inevitably fail to achieve their resolutions I’m still setting a New Year’s resolution.

I know why only 8% make it and it only took me 50 years to sort my mindset out.

That’s why I’m at the gym @ 4a on Sunday.

“You cannot consistently perform in a manner which is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.”
-Zig Ziglar

You’ll never rise any higher than the image you have of yourself in your own mind.

So, get to dreaming!

Of course 95% of your brain activity takes place beyond your conscious awareness.

Even if you consciously decide on a goal, it's your subconscious mind that guides you toward achieving it (and it’s always directing you toward a goal, even if you're not aware of it).

Yeah, there’s there’s the deal.

So, how does your subconscious mind decide whether or not to pursue a goal?

Your identity.

Your identity programs your subconscious to achieve a goal.

Positive identity = subconscious helps you achieve your goal, negative = sabotages goals.

Like breathing, your subconscious mind works automatically and impersonally to achieve the goals your identity sets for it, and your behaviors depend on how your identity has programmed your subconscious to act.

This understanding is how I quit smoking, drinking & lost 65lbs.

Rest assured your subconscious mind believes your identity to be true and doesn't question what your identity programs it to do.

It’s like putting a destination into GPS.

Doesn’t matter where, your subconscious will figure out how to get there…

So why not somewhere awesome!

Knowing your identity dictates the limits of your accomplishments will you be someone different to have something different… reinvent yourself?

Upgrade your operating system.

2023 can be whatever you like.

I simply started thinking to myself: I’m a fit non-smoker and I lived into that.
