Is it really Magic?

Hey guys and gals,

I don't know how many of you have participated in the "Magic 100" program, but this thing is amazing! (thanks, Dax... you've made a bigger difference in my life in the last 60 days than most people have in a lifetime!)

Is it really magic, per say? I don't think so, and neither does he.... you see, Dax discusses how your RAS (reticular activating system) responds to repeated messages that stimulate an automatic thought process, similar to our bodies knowing that they need to breathe, regulate temperature, hormones, etc. By teaching your mind to address goals in a systematic and automatic way, you are essentially taking out most of the 'hard brain work' that would be involved.

Well, I gotta tell you... for someone who works with people setting goals on a daily basis (btw. both physical therapy and personal training), I thought that I knew it all (sound familiar?). Damn! Once again, the more I learn, the less I know... I hate it when that happens.

Just to give everyone an idea if you don't already know, this program entails 100 goals in 100 days (some big, some small, some huge). So far, in 60 days, I've accomplished 56 of my 100 goals... not bad, huh?!

I've listed a couple of my favorite accomplishments below, just so you can get an idea what I'm talking about:

- Decreased bodyfat from 13% to 8.9% (in 35 days)
- Began calling my brother for at least 30 minutes 2x/week (before this, I kept telling myself I was too busy with my new practice)
- I now bring on 1-2 new clients/patients every week, which has allowed me to hire 2 new employees since the start of this program - about to hire a 3rd.
- Written 4 e-books + about 7-8 bonuses (with the help of the greatest mentor in the world... Thank you, Susan! - I'm really lucky that you've taken time away from your day to help me)
- Re-achieved fluency in Spanish
- Become certified as a CSCS
- Gone to Florida, North Carolina, New York (twice), and made travel arrangements for San Diego, Seattle, and Australia.
- Started hugging my wife, Karen, 10x every single day (more benefit to our relationship than I ever thought possible, just from this one simple act of love.)
- Decreased coffee to 1 cup/day (was about 10 cups/day)
- Helped 3 friends get into the best shape of their lives
- Read 8 books (goal is 10 in 100 days) - I hadn't read a book in months.

So, needless to say, if I can do it, so can you. Look out, b/c I'm coming up with a whole lot more in the 40 days to follow... what good would all of this effort be without a Grand Finale anyway?!

I really recommend that you give this program a look, or renew if you haven't done it in awhile. Even if not, I just thought that this thread might start a trend of positive thinking and sharing of goals. Somehow, once you've made it knowledge for more people than just you, it gives you a responsibility to follow through.

Please, anyone who wants to add some thoughts/motivation to this thread, I'd love hear from you. Maybe we can help each other reach our most difficult goals faster. For example, I'd love help getting nationally publicized 3x before my 100 days are over. Anybody?

Wishing you all the best,

Kareem
