"You
can focus on all kinds of techniques, strategies, and learn things by the book,
but it comes down to HOW YOU SHOW UP." ~Anthony Robbins
“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
~Dr. Seuss
"Success itself is not
some big mystery, it's already been figured out." Brendon Burchard (visit How Successful People Think)
"If
the majority of your days are not days where you are ready to disturb the world
in pursuit of whatever it is you want (your goals) then you are settling for
mediocrity." ~ Unknown
"I
don't think that the prize of success goes to the fastest or most brilliant, but
the person who consistently day by day keeps on keeping on." ~John Maxwell
Everyone likes to listen to
something, see something, or be around someone that motivates them. I have
never met a person who wants to be de-motivated, have you?
The question is, what is it that
motivates you into action and progress and are you able to stay motivated?
Successful people are able to maintain a balance of the thinking part of
success along with the action part, whereas most people overdose on one or the
other and do not keep a balance. The quote by Dr. Seuss is a great reminder
that we need to use the "brains in our head" (the thinking part)
along with the "feet in our shoes" (the action part).
Chris Widener said it this way on
motivation: "I'm
sure you have heard the quote, 'where there is no vision, people perish.' We
need a vision! Something that drives us forward. In fact, I always say that
successful people are willing to do the things that unsuccessful people aren't.
I believe, just like companies have a vision statement, successful people need
a personal vision statement."
Four
things that will motivate and move you forward:
1. Set
goals and write them down for your own well being that include areas of
physical health, social, mental, spiritual, and finance.
2. Think
about them in the quiet of morning and evening. Visualize having met your goal.
3.
Develop a desire to accomplish them. If you lack desire, you may need to adjust
the goal.
4.
Control your environment and only let books, music, events, and people into
your life that motivate and encourage you towards your goals.
Motivation gets you going. Personal discipline keeps you going! What is your next step in the direction of your own success?
