How to go from ZERO TO HERO by Beatie Deutsch

i want to share with you how we take the huge goals and dreams we set for ourselves and actually make them happen good morning walkers and runners hope your day is off to a great start if you have gone on your walk or run i hope you are feeling energized and amazing and if you haven't gone out yet what are you waiting for get your shoes on get out the door i want to share with you how we take the huge goals and dreams we set for ourselves and actually make them happen you know people like to say if your dreams don't scare you they're not big enough and i have realized personally like it's not enough to say dream big i need a dream huge but like how do we make that happen because and you know some of you might be feeling like i'm supposed to be running a hundred miles but that is way too much for me like i'm never gonna be able to do that i'm so not there so the secret from going from zero to the huge goals is breaking it down into micro steps literally writing down every single step of the way of what it's going to take from where you are right now to where you want to get to and why is that so important let me explain something to you when you set a huge goal there is always going to be that little voice in the back of your head i like to say in hebrew the yetzer hara the evil inclination that stands in the way of any positive change physical or spiritual that is going to doubt you that is going to make you feel like you're not capable it is going to make you stop and wonder if you can get there um those negative voices in your head so let's say you say i want to run a hundred miles you come back from your four mile run and you're very excited and then there's that voice you think you're gonna be able to run a hundred miles you'll never get there you only ran four now what do you do with that well guess what if you wrote down every single step of the way what it's going to take you from getting to point zero where you are now two hundred miles then you know that right now you are doing exactly what you need to be doing and you can counter that voice and say yes today i only ran four miles but guess what i'm right on track because i ran four miles yesterday and i ran four miles today and i'm gonna get up and run four miles tomorrow and every day it's getting easier for me and this is exactly where i want to be on my path to my 100 mile goal it could be training for a marathon it could be working your way up towards a dream career it could be becoming the kind of parent or spouse you want to be but whatever goal it is that you want to achieve you need to have that plan and it can't just be lofty and huge and out there the big goals need to be broken down into baby steps because then all you need to ask yourself is what am i doing in the next micro second to get there and if you're doing that then you're already halfway there that's half the battle and then when the negative voices come up and you feel insecure and you wonder if you'll ever be able to make it because we all have those doubts and let's face it we all have those negative voices doesn't matter how successful you are they come up the key is to be able to counter them and say yes i have a plan i've broken it down into baby steps and i'm taking the steps i need to take to accomplish my big dreams and goals so here's to all of us making it 100 miles and more the first of many 100 mile months to conquering those big goals and dreams and to recognizing that even those huge lofty almost unattainable goals are possible when you break them down into the micro steps that need to be taken to get there happy running happy walking
