Are You the Biggest Loser?

Did you watch the Biggest Loser season finale this past week? Yes, it is reality TV, but what a shot of motivation it was. Got a goal? Got a dream? You could have learned a lot from these contestants and the main message of this show.

No, it is not just about loosing wait. Burning calories, getting rid of the excess fat are just steps on the way. The main message here is: when you set yourself a goal, when you put yourself into it 100%, when you get the right support and the right system, you CAN reach for the stars.

The contestants on this show are no super humans. They are ordinary people who live ordinary lives just like you and me. Their lives were derailed at some point and they lost control of their bodies and their health. The crucial point here is that they took the opportunity, they accepted the challenge and they didn't give up.

So now, what about you? What is your own personal goal? What is your shinning star that keeps glimmering on the horizon calling for you? What is that long expected dream? When are you going to make it come true?

Yes, it is possible! But you will need get ready for the journey. Here are 4 steps to consider:

BE CLEAR
Be clear about your goal. Be specific. Know the details of what you aspire. Do your homework and find out exactly and as precisely as you can what is your final destination. What is it that you really want to bring into your life? Without a clear vision, you will most likely find yourself wandering around, wasting precious energy and time and never going anywhere. Sit down and put it in writing. If you have it only in your mind, it will most likely dissipate together with your thoughts. Put it on a Post-It note somewhere you will see it often. Tell a friend, partner or a family member what you have set yourself to do. This will make your goal tangible and solid.

CREATE A SYSTEM
Now that you are clear about your goal, it is time to find out how you are going to get there. What are the steps you need to take? Don't get caught up into big breakthroughs. Have "baby" steps to take everyday. But of course, don't pass the opportunity to take the gigantic steps when it is possible to take them. Yes, you will find obstacles and difficulties, but keep your focus on the possibilities. It may take some time and effort. Be patient, persistent and determined. Yes, you can!

BUILD SUPPORT
Friends and family are a source of great help. Look around and find out who are your true allies. Tell them your story and the journey you set for yourself. Ask for their support. Ask them to check with you on your progress. Set milestones in your journey and ask them to make you accountable for them.

BRING THE EXPERT
While friends and family are great help they too have their own issues and challenges. And when it comes to solving these challenges, they are most likely wandering around in the same boat as you are. If you are familiar with the Biggest Loser show, you know the essential part that the physical coaches Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels play in the journey of the contestants. They keep them focused on their goals, they motivate them, they provide them with a system and together they find solutions. No one in that campus would be able to achieve these stellar results without these coaches. If you are really serious about your goals, you got to hire a professional to work together with you. A skilled and highly intuitive expert will be with you in every step of the way -- clarifying your goal (if you are still confused about it), building a detailed strategy, creating support and providing accountability.

While so many of us have become complacent about life and beginning to conform to the idea of never achieving our goals, others have embraced their passion, overcome many hurdles and today are living their dream. You can do it too! And there is no magic or fairy tale here. Like in the reality show, it is determination, hard work, persistence and focus. It is your turn now. Life is here waiting for you. Are you ready?
