Summary
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but many people in the self-development world will tell you to be very specific and clear about your goals and dreams, but that can actually mean failure in achieving them or negative consequences by reaching them.
Before you go, "Joseph, what the heck?" Let me say, goal setting IS good, but if you want to achieve your dreams and more, you must add a secret ingredient to the equation. In fact, I will give you two secret ingredients to give you more options, that get you not only what you want, but far more that you can imagine.

| 0:00.0 | Are you being too specific with your goals and dreams? |
| 0:04.0 | Because that could be detrimental to your success in achieving them. |
| 0:09.4 | That's what we're talking about today. |
| 0:11.6 | That's right, today we're talking about are you being too specific when it comes to your goals and dreams? |
| 0:17.9 | Because sometimes we have this ideal dream that we want we know |
| 0:22.3 | exactly how we want it to happen we know exactly what we want where it be |
| 0:28.4 | la type of car we want in blue a certain type of car specifically absolutely |
| 0:36.8 | anything it could be about your dream house it could be about your anything. It could be about your dream house. |
| 0:38.8 | It could be about your dream partner. It could be about your dream job. So you get obsessed |
| 0:45.3 | with that goal. Now if you become too obsessed with it and too specific by it, you may actually |

| 1:30.9 | can become so fixated. Now, I'm not saying your focus on that one goal is an issue. Because I really |
| 1:38.8 | think it's really powerful to be clear in your goals and dreams but can we modify it that allows us to |
| 1:47.0 | get something even better too because I really believe that the wild and the environment |
| 1:53.0 | that we live in other opportunities can come into our life which will be better than what |
| 1:58.0 | you think you actually want and And the nature of thinking that |
| 2:02.1 | the only thing that you want is the only thing can actually limit you in your happiness |
| 2:07.0 | and success and either achieving it or getting something better. So let me be clear again. |
