SCENARIO:
Imagine
a check for
10 million
dol-
lars. You are offered this check if you agree to do an
assignment for
30 DAYS
. The assignment is fully
ethical, lawful, and has to be completed at 6:00 a.m. daily. If
you choose to complete this
assignment
, you will be hand-
ed this check. Will you be
motivated
to
participate?
The
frst question
that may come to your mind is, “What is the assign-
ment?”
The assignment is to wake up at 6:00 a.m. every day and run or walk
one mile.
Do that for 30 days, and on the 31st day you are 10 million dollars
richer
. Presuming this is happening to you this moment, how do you feel
toward the assignment? Stop and think about it. Tomorrow morning you begin
a thirty-day assignment leading you to
fnancial freedom
. Think
about
emotions
you are experiencing. You probably agree that the emo-
tions you are experiencing are excitement,
exhilaration
, and motivation.
You also feel extremely
happy
and even relieved, all at the same time.
Furthermore, these
powerful
emotions continue to
intensify
as you get closer to the
goal
. Think about it—twenty days later, will you
be less or
more
motivated
? Obviously more; with just 10
days to go, as it gets closer to the goal, you become more and
more
motivated. Every day you
FEEL
more power-
ful. Little things that maybe were irritating to you before
this assignment now seem trivial.
Where
did these powerful emotions come from?
