Last night I was winding-down at my house and
watching the Olympic Athletes 'go for Gold.'

I don't know about you but I have been watching
the Olympic Games any chance I get,

Last night I watched some Women's Volleyball,
Gymnastics, and some swimming...

I just love watching these athletes who are so
focused, so determined, and so mentally-invested
in achieving the goals that they've been working
towards for so long...

For example,

Last night United States Swimmer Michael Phelps
won yet another Gold Medal...

Today, I was watching the morning news and
Michael's Publicity Agent was being interviewed.

Michael's Agent said something that really caught
my attention and I think it is something that might
be able to help you achieve greater success in all
areas of your life and I'll tell you why in a second.

Michael's Agent was asked "WHY" he was working so
hard to win EIGHT Gold Medals.

This is what he said,

"Michael wants to use his performance to revitalize
the sport of Swimming Around The World and all of
his efforts are geared towards the greater goal
of making that happen."

Here's why that goal struck me...

        ---->  IT'S A HUGE GOAL!!!!!  <----

Think about it,

He doesn't JUST want to win one gold medal, two gold
medals, 3, 4, 5, 6, or even 7,

He wants 8!!!

But, not 8 for the sake of 'JUST' winning 8 medals,

He's doing it for an even GREATER GOAL - a huge vision
that he is trying to make a reality,

You might be asking yourself, "What does that have to
do with me?"

The lesson here for you is that if you want to accomplish
great things in your life that you shouldn't shoot
for 'just losing 11 pounds, or 'just fitting into the
old pair of jeans,' or "just" anything for that matter...

Create a huge, compelling vision in your mind that is
'BIGGER THAN JUST YOU.'

Having a huge VISION can help you plow through obstacles
and challenges like they are not even there.

Compare that to the average Joe or Jane who 'just wants
to lose a couple pounds.'  

Don't you think that the person with the bigger, more
compelling vision that is bigger then just them is going
to stick with the plan, stay the course and stay focused
on 'the gold' instead of giving into temptation and eating
that cookie, or skipping a workout?  

So the questions for you to consider are:

-How can you create a compelling vision that is bigger
than just you?  

-How can you Supersize your little goals into more
powerful and inspriring goals?

-How would you act differently about food, exercise,
and taking care of your body if hitting your goals
wasn't just for you but for a bigger cause that means
the world to you?

-What would you do differently everyday to hit your
goals if you had that 'Gun To The Head' mentallity
that you either hit your goals or die?  

Perhaps you'd reach your goals faster, making amazing
progess that insprired others, and maybe people will
be talking about how great 'YOU' are and the amazing
things you've accomplished...

What if?

Train with purpose,

P.S. - Within you right now are amazing levels of un-tapped
potential and you deserve to stand on the Medal Platform with
a Gold Medal around your neck with millions of adoring fans
cheering your name!

Go for the Gold:
