Sorry, but that just isn't good enough. I said we do what we do for a reason, but not just any reason. It has to be a good one, a powerful one. When you put a weak reason behind any goal, it's not going to happen.

'It will make me happy,' isn't strong or specific enough. It doesn't excite or inspire. Taking into account way our mind works, this is never going to move you to action.

And this is why so many people keep wishing for a better life instead of enjoying one. They don't have good enough reasons behind their goals.

So what's answer?

WHAT CAN I DO? Develop better reasons!

It's that simple. If I told you that walking across room would radically change and improve your life in an instant - and you truly believed it - I guarantee you would be moving your feet right now.

Why?

Because reason moved you to action. It was powerful enough to make things happen.

And that's what you need to do when it comes to your own ideas of a happier, more successful life.

Think of yourself as a master storyteller. The better story you tell about what success will do for you, faster it will happen. When you sell yourself on what you want, you'll effortlessly and automatically be driven to make it happen.

And it all starts with a good reason.

So take some time right now to think of at least three great reasons why your goal is worth achieving. Make them specific, powerful, exciting, and inspiring.

The better reason, better result. So make your reasons for success so powerful, so compelling, so enticing that you can't help but follow through with action.

These are four voices that we constantly hear and which voice we obey is based on our ability to discern. Obviously, we want to obey voice of God if we are going to enjoy a successful life.

Most of us tend to live on shallow surface where our physical senses, thoughts, feelings, desires, and emotions are constantly being stimulated by worldly, carnal, fleshly ways. Because of this, we are not able to hear from God and be led by His Spirit, leaving ourselves wide open to fall for many deceptions of devil.

So, how do we hear from God and be led by His Spirit? Well, that's next week's article. For now, just realize there are always three very loud voices screaming for your attention and only one still, small voice, which is Holy Spirit of God, wanting to lead you in way you should go.
