Psycho-Cybernetics - See Yourself at Your Best
Matt Furey's Super Human Success Blog
“Focus on one goal at a time,
not ten, twenty or one hundred nine.
Focus on one objective and you will see,
how other things get done spontaneously.
It doesn’t matter if you have more goals than one,
what matters is that you’re creating, getting THIS one done.”
– el Furecat, alter ego of Matt Furey

Here’s a little poem my alter ego, el Furecat, wrote that I felt compelled to send to you today.
Will’s Powers
You have a Will for a Reason,
and an Imagination ever ready,
every day of every season.
Although One’s Creative Imagination
beats Will’s Powers 100 times in a row,
I wouldn’t ask for Will’s resignation.
Why not blend the two Ways into One?
And with each hand ignited and at your
command, you’ll witness the Power of Done.
El Furecat
The Prosperity Poet
Have a super day!

By the way, if you haven’t seen yesterday’s YouTube video, here it is:

Phil Richard responded to yesterday’s email on How to Write a Goal.
Matt,
Yep, the founder of Mercedes Benz did the goal setting as you wrote about in an email.
Thank you, Matt
Phil
Now, I’m going to assume that you want to know what the Mercedes Benz founder’s goal
was. Well, it wasn’t a long-term 3 P’s goal. It IS an on-going type of daily goal, a
quest, if you will.
The goal was only four words long and was posted on the walls at the factory, for all
employees to see. And that goal was…
The Best or Nothing
Now that goal is quite the driver, eh? And it proves that el Furecat, my alter-ego,
truly did figure this thing out quite some time ago.
Note, the goal was NOT “I AM THE BEST.”
It was NOT a goal that stated you were already there, that you had already been
there and done it. It was a goal that DROVE the founder, and the employees,
to stay in pursuit, to keep working toward it, year after year after year.
Personally, I don’t focus on being the BEST quite so much. I focus on daily
goals… primarily, because I know that if I put together 365 consecutive days
of WINNING, I am going to keep getting better and better.
A daily goal is much more manageable, and with a long-string of daily wins,
I have MOMENTUM. This momentum then leads to me being able to tackle
long-term goals with far greater ease, if I so choose.
What’s my daily goal?
It is to get a few select people to enroll in my Theatre of the Mind Newsletter
coaching program.
Nothing ostentatious. Nothing gigantic. Just a simple daily goal – which leads
me to the action steps of sending out a daily email (another goal) – which then
leads to me cranking out THE BEST newsletter I can possibly write on a
monthly basis.
A newsletter that is riveting, incredibly insightful and immediately useful;
one that helps take the blinders off and removes the emotional blocks; one
that gets people to where they want to go, doing what they want to do,
creating what they want to create, with whomever they want, whenever
they want.
That’s my goal.
It is NOT to be the “best version” of myself. It is to see myself at my best,
to get the job done on a daily basis, to the best of my ability, with or without
mistakes.
To bank off what I wrote yesterday, I can write the number ‘3’ on a
card and know exactly what it means. I can picture it. I can FEEL it.
Will you be one of the ‘3’ who enroll in my Theatre of the Mind Newsletter
coaching program today?
If you are, more power to you.
We are going to create greatness together.

Most people are taught to write their goals out as if they were already an accomplished fact.
For example, if your goal is to become a millionheir or millionheiress, you are told to put this in writing with words such as: “I am now a millionaire, (and doggone it, people love me).”
According to legend, or fable, this is what ALL the most successful people in the world do. Yet, the truth is, this is most certainly not true… not at all.
Many moons and sleeps ago, I learned to write my goals on a card, and get this, in a single word, if possible.
The first time I gave this method a whirl was back in college. I wanted to be the number one guy, the varsity wrestler, on the team. So I wrote the word “Varsity” on a card.
Did I accomplish this goal?
I sure did.
After I accomplished this I wrote the words “National Champion” on a card.
How’d that work out for me?
Very well.
I did the same years later with the words, “World Champion.” And so on.
What’s my point in this little post? My point is that your mind thinks in pictures – so all you need to put in writing are the words that create the mental picture of what you want – and nothing more.
The words “I AM” aren’t going to get your hand raised in victory when the battle is done. In fact, using “I AM” can derail you and keep you from getting where you want to go.
You might think that you must state your goals with the three P’s, telling yourself that you have already accomplished your goal, when you obviously haven’t, but I haven’t found that way to be useful or workable because you’re fighting your subconscious mind.
Yes, your subconscious mind DOES KNOW the difference between a goal that has been accomplished and one that you are still working on. And there is absolutely NO HARM in acknowledging this reality. In fact, knowing the difference is the key to Creating What You Want.
If you don’t believe me, that’s fine. But test it out before you condemn me. I think you’ll find that I knows what I’m talkings abouts.
Start with something you want to accomplish TODAY – not 58.5 years from now.
Doodle a word or three on a card, look at it and form a mental picture of yourself accomplishing that result. Then get to work.
Let me know how it goes. I’m betting you’re going to knock one out of the park today.
By the way, there’s a lot MORE where this huge tip came from. ’tis why I have various levels of coaching. My illustrious Theatre of the Mind Newsletter is the first level of coaching that I encourage you to get involved in, if you can swing it.
It’s not cheap, but you’ll definitely learn how the cat catches the mouse… and how you can catch what you’re after.

Sometimes we feel tired because we need a rest. We’re overworked and stressed out.
Then there are times when we’re tired because we aren’t doing anything, but when we get enough movement in, we tend to me more energized, not less.
But what about the occasions when we feel fatigued, when our rumps are dragging because… we’re not living up to our capabilities, we’re not creating anything new, we’re not living life with gusto and enthusiasm?
If it’s the latter, you may have mental blocks that need to be removed. And once they are, LOOK OUT. A whole new YOU emerges from the shadows.
Life takes on an entirely different hue, a much deeper and stronger vibration. You have boundless energy that begins to express itself effortlessly.
It’s a great way to live.
If the first two reasons for fatigue are troubling you, I’ve told you what to do.
If it’s the third reason… I have something that may just do the trick for you.
And it might just help you do as Dr. Maltz advised, when he wrote that Psycho-Cybernetics will help you “get more living out of life.”

Here’s a little late night thought to consider, taken from one of my newsletters:
Remember this key phrase: “Don’t Scare Yourself.”
Here are some more details:
A. Don’t fry your brain and nervous system. Work with instead of against yourself.
B. Coax yourself into a state of momentum. If you force yourself to do something, you end up rebelling against the process you’ve imposed on yourself.
C. If you focus on just getting started, it’s amazing to witness how you naturally, organically expand and grow, without angst, without unnecessary tension, without feelings of rebellion or resistance.
D. Getting started is easier than you think. Start with small goals and commitments, such as doing something for five or ten minutes instead of several hours. This type of time commitment may not seem like much, but it removes resistance to action and allows momentum to expand. This is readily seen when you find yourself doing something for a few hours because you lost track of time.
Many of my students who were putting off today for tomorrow, found themselves getting more done in less time by using the method mentioned above.

Enjoy your evening.

A few weeks ago I had an unusual, disturbing dream. I was in New York, giving a talk to a large room full of people. The talk was held in someone’s home. That someone happened to be Dr. Maxwell Maltz.
As I was giving my talk, people were looking at their devices, responding to every text, email, beep, chime and so on.
This caused me to lose focus and the talk completely bombed. I was bummed.
Afterward, I met with Dr. Maltz, and he lifted my spirits. He revealed what was truly going on, and why the audience was a reflection of modern-day society.
What’s more, he gave me a number of strategies to combat the attention-deficit-disorder that I was surrounded by. He taught me what he does and how he does it. He taught me how he was so productive, working a full day meeting with patients, doing surgery, then “retiring” to his high-rise apartment where he wrote books, courses and even novels, way into the night, only to wake up the next morning full of vim and vigor.
It’s an amazing account, and I am sending it as a free bonus to all new subscribers to Theatre of the Mind Masters.
You want to get more done in less time, you want to take back control of your energy?
Then I strongly suggest you have a look.
