my friend Billy really really likes chicken when he has a craving everything else falls
away until he gets his fix his speech thoughts and actions will all be geared towards him
finding and eating some chicken even if he has to slaughter and cook it himself Billy's behavior is
sometimes unsettling to us his friends however his obsession with chicken certainly offers some
insights for starters when he's really craving chicken he would do absolutely anything to get
some he would actually be willing to go as far as providing free labor at a restaurant
in exchange for the delicacy now I too like chicken every now and then but I'm not sure
I would be willing to go the links my friend Billy is willing to go for chicken but I digress
because of the negative connotation attached to the word obsession some of you may already
be uncomfortable with Billy's relationship with fried chicken let's imagine that he was instead
obsessed with becoming a millionaire in two years or maybe even lose some of those extra pounds that
come along with eating all that chicken what would be the end result after he directed all
his focus energy and attention to achieving this goal personally knowing what obsession looks like
on him I think he would be a millionaire in two years time Billy's story sets the foundation of
today's video using the ability of our mind to obsess into achieving your wildest dreams sure
obsession can become problematic especially when everything else becomes secondary in the
face of the goal you're pursuing be it chicken or millions or whatever you desire and just because
the world has deemed obsessively obsessing over something as quote-unquote bad it could however
be harnessed for good how do you do this you might ask well let's find out but right before we begin
if you're not subscribed to our channel you're missing out big-time tap the subscribe button and
the Bell notification icon so you don't miss out on any of our videos now let's begin the power of
a single end goal most of us dream of a wholesome and balanced life we hope for good friends loving
and tolerant relatives and financial security some of us want to expand our educational portfolio
while others are simply looking to settle down in essence we all have a variety of goals in our
lives and we all have some kind of idea on how to achieve it in his book Think and Grow Rich
Napoleon Hill talks about a definite chief aim this is defined as a statement of purpose for
someone's life at a particular point to utilize the power of obsession its first paramount to
pick a goal that you intend to obsess over for instance at any one time you may be looking to
get your finances in order lose some weight and find a date for Valentine's these three goals
will all demand your attention time and energies at the same time and you could be overwhelmed
and get burnt out as a result pick one thing to do one thing to obsess on and you're more than
likely to do it well so what does obsession do for you especially when you're trying to peruse
your goals well first it gives you clarity of vision and direction with regards to your goal
and how to achieve it clarity is defined as the quality of being coherent and intelligible and
it arises from the fact that you think about your goals all the time for instance if Billy
decides to take the millionaire route he'll first need to understand what being a millionaire means
to him and how to achieve this he could decide on starting a business and hopefully become a
millionaire via that channel or he could polish up his CV and try and find a job that would pay
a million dollars whatever Billy decides he will need focus clear goals give you a clear path of
action if your goal is to lose weight in a few months your options include going to the gym
taking walks getting on a diet or intermittent fasting after making your goal clear you need
to decide on how to go about this for instance thanks to all the chicken Billy's been eating
he's picked up a few pounds and gained a bit of weight to say the least so now he's specifically
looking into losing 11 pounds over a period of two months which is very possible taking walks
and going easy with chicken are options that are likely to be very inviting to Billy however this
may not be as effective meaning at some point or another Billy will have to sign up for a gym
and start dieting obsession also gives you the ability to learn anything within a short period
of time even when it seems impossible let's say that Billy decided that he wants to become
a millionaire through investing in real estate even though he knows nothing about the industry
but thanks to the power of obsession Billy will be so motivated that he will read and absorb just
about everything about real estate he will attend seminars read books watch youtube videos find
a mentor basically anything that will give him the knowledge he needs to succeed some obstacles
that come in the way of achieving our goals can be broken down through the power of obsession
negativity and the possibility of failure are usually brushed aside and in some cases don't
even come to mind when you're obsessed about an end goal this is because all you breathe dream
and think all the time is how to make it happen if option 1 doesn't work there's option 2 and if
that doesn't work well your mind will conjure up a third option obsession has an interesting
relationship with motivation this is because obsessing over a goal is the source of motivation
in itself when you want something so bad to the level that it becomes an obsession you don't need
motivation to get the work done you just do it how to become obsessed so now that you know obsession
isn't all that bad and can in fact be used to achieve your goals how do you tap into this power
you may be asking how do you start obsessing about something that you aren't even motivated
about to begin with Robert Kiyosaki talks about how for most people the power of their excuses
and laziness is greater than their dreams for you to be obsessed about a goal you cannot entertain
any excuses goals that are emotionally rooted in us have a better chance of inspiring obsession
and you can route your goals into your emotions simply by making a committed decision about who
you want to be and have a willingness to do all that it takes to get there consciously setting
aside time and reminding yourself your goals and what you're doing and why you're doing it it's
another great way to inspire you but I must warn you just like a coin has two phases to it so does
