Motivation
is the driving force behind life-enhancing change. It comes from knowing
exactly what you want to do and having an insatiable, burning desire to do
what’s necessary to get it. It keeps your dream on track as it is the power of
motivation that keeps you going when the going gets tough.
Here’s 5 top tips to help you supercharge your motivation:
1. Create a picture board and
fill it with images of your desired goals. The car you want to own, the house
you want to live in, the area where you want to live yes, they’re the obvious
ones. Others could be pictures of holiday destinations, trophies, first-class
travel tickets, clothes you want to buy, fine restaurants you want to frequent
– whatever you can think of that gets your pulse racing.
2. GET ANGRY. If you want to
change your life for the better then get angry about where you’re at now.
Having a blasé attitude towards change isn’t what’s needed and it won’t create
a strong desire within you. So ask: “Why do I want to change?” Is it because
you’re FED UP with debts? Does your job DRIVE YOU CRAZY? Is your life DULL AND
PRECITABLE? Are you SICK AND TIRED of doing the same thing week in week out?
Are you BORED BEYOND BELIEF by the dull, uninspiring, unhappy people you
associate with? THEN GET ANGRY ABOUT IT. And I mean REAL ANGRY. Write it all
down, all of the frustrating, unrewarding, miserable lot of it that makes every
day a dull slog until your final days. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
3. Speaking of your final days,
start to appreciate the value of time. Time is one of the most precious
resources you have and it is also a NON RENEWABLE resource. You can either use
it fully or squander it. If you want to create change you’re going to have to
invest a lot of time to make it happen. Start to reduce the time you waste on
irrelevancies: Television, newspapers, lie-ins, weekends spent shopping,
partying, dining out, visiting an endless line of relatives and friends – these
won’t help you get what you want and all of them will rob time from you.
Valuable time that you can use much more effectively by investing it in YOU.
Remember this: You have a finite amount of time here on Earth. You don’t know
how much time you have – no one does. But it’s how you use the time you have that
counts. So make your time count and that means starting from right NOW.
4. Conformity. Are you a
mindless little sheep who’s way too timid to pursue your own way? Do you have
to follow where everyone else goes, doing exactly what everyone else does and
therefore, who gets the same levels of happiness as all the other little sheep?
Seriously, does this describe YOU? Are you too frightened to be different than
all of the other sheep because they wouldn’t like it if you decided to follow a
different path? So you dutifully trot along following all the other sheep
because if they’re doing it then that’s how it is right? But if you do what
everyone else does you’ll just get what everyone else gets. Do you want to be a
mindless, timid little sheep who blindly follows all the other sheep? Or do you
want to be a leader, a warrior who possesses the courage to be uniquely you and
to do what you want to do and make your dreams happen? If so then this means
you have to be more like a tiger than a sheep. Do you really want to be a
sheep? I mean, haven’t we got enough sheep already?
5. Fear your fear. Fear is the
force that is determined to stop you in your tracks and rob your dreams from
you. But it can only do this if you let it. Are you going to let this cruel
destructive charlatan trample on your dreams, steal your happiness and crush
your spirit? Imagine this thought haunting your final days: “I didn’t do the
things I wanted because I was too frightened to live”. And by then, it’ll be
far too late to conquer fear. Refuse to let fear spoil your life and start
taking action – now!
The
world is waiting for your unique gifts. Why keep it waiting any longer?
