Today I want to speak mainly to the kids and teenagers that read my blog and really explain as simply as possible why thinking and acting in the NEO way, can and will get you to where you want to go!
There are many times in our lives when we blame, or feel that other people are getting in the way of what we want.
I remember when I was on the football team, I had this dream to be a centre mid-fielder like Paul Schoals. I would watch him play and wished I could be as good as him.
Well I had the right start, I was visualizing my goal, but when I went to football practice I just settled for being put in left back defense as I was the only person on the team that could use both feet as everyone else was right footed.
After a while I realized that if i used my right foot a could fool the other team because they thought I was left footed and i could dribble past people, and get further up the pitch.
After a while of doing this I became very good, and practiced so that my left foot was as good as my right, this brought me to the attention of my coach who moved me to the left wing and nearer to my dream position. When i was in this position of left wing I learnt how to control the ball more, how to pass it better and learnt how other players played so i could pass it to them without looking.
All this time I had my dream in my mind all the time of being centre midfield, and then my moment came. My team mate was injured and I was put into centre midfield, that game we won 4-0 and i set up every goal. I played that well that the coach made that my new position.
I had achieved my Dream!!
So what has this got to do with McDonalds???
Ok, well when you have a dream or a goal you want to achieve you need to follow 3 simple steps to achieve it like you would when you order at McDonalds.
1) Place your order - This means deciding your dream, get a clear picture of your dream, write it down. " I choose to have" or " I choose to be".
2) Pay the price - Now this doesn't just mean pay with money. This means, put in the practice, like with my football i put in the time to practice. If you want to be a chief you need to practice cooking or if you want to be a singer you need to practice and work on your singing.
3) Believe you will get it - When you order at McDonalds, you know that the person behind the till is going to get what you ordered. So this means you have to be the person behind the till getting your order. This means believe you can do it, believe you will get there, believe you can do it and most importantly believe you deserve it.
