Motivation

admin — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 18:02:13 +0000

No one can make you succeed. No one can make you enjoy your job, your projected future, or present reality. However, all of those things can be used to motivate you to make a change. When questions like, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” or “Are you satisfied with the current course of your life?” cause you to shutter or just shut down, it may be time for an intervention.

Motivation is a force – internal or external – that compels us to action in order to produce a new or better outcome. There are actually few people that can identify their current reality, chart a new course, and motivate themselves to stay on track. If you are that person, you have gift you could use to impact the lives of others and make a lot of money. If you are like the other 99% that require a little assistance from time, you are in good company.

So, take an inventory of where you are, where you are headed, and what your ultimate goal is. Do not do this in your mind, take the time to write it down. There is a dynamic that takes place in actually writing it down that is a real game changer. If you do not like what you see find a coach to motivate you to take action. A new life, a fresh perspective, and hope could be just one call or one email away.

I Am Listening

“The roots of effective leadership lie in simple things, one of which is listening. Listening to someone demonstrates respect; it shows that you value their ideas and are willing to hear them.” – John Baldoni

Stop having the answer for everyone. Many times, people do not need you to fix their problem, they simply need you to know about it. All too often, we are so preoccupied internally with giving them the solution, thus elevating ourselves, that we fail to truly hear their words, thus elevating them. Even if you have a solution to their problem, sometimes we serve them best by simply listening. If you tend to solve the problem before actually hearing the problem – stop.

Manifest Abundance in Your Life

Manifest Abundance in Your Life

When you read that title, immediately a couple of things jumped out at you. Most people would have seen the word ‘Abundance’ and thought something about increase or more than enough. The second thing most people will see is the phrase ‘Your Life’ and realize this is about me and something about me increasing or getting more. Unfortunately, I am not offering a plan or solution like that, in fact, my take on this is the exact opposite. If you want more of anything, you must first start with giving something away.

When I discover a treasure, the first and most natural tendency is two-fold, and those two things are opposites. The first reaction is that we want to tell others because in doing so, we get to relive the experience of finding the treasure for the first time over and over again. The second most common reaction is to hide that treasure, so others will not try and take it away or exploit it. Thus, in our quest to discover a treasure, we find ourselves in a quandary and we are confused with what to do next.

When you find something unique, something to be highly treasured, or of infinite value, give it away. If you want to have more, give more. I know that is probably not the advice you want to hear, but it is so true. We can only hold so much and the older we get the more full our hands become. There have been a few times in my life when I have given things away that were valued by me. I enjoyed those things for a long time and passing them along enables me to enjoy them afresh and anew as I watch others enjoy them.

What are you holding onto, that you need to release? What can you give away today in order to free up some space in your hands to hold something new? If you desire something new in your life, what are you willing to part with to create the room in your hands for that new thing? If you want to manifest abundance or increase in your life, what will you let go of? What are you holding that you are willing to share with someone else? The old adage, ‘The more you give, the more you get’ still rings true and it is still a great way bring increase in your life.
