Today's article is about "MOTIVATION".
Dreams are important, but they do not come to fruition if you do not take action. Don’t procrastinate. Start living the life you want to live today. There is always a step you can take. There is always something you can do.
2. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
If you never start, you will never get anywhere. If you want to find your passion, it starts with trying. You will fail, you will make mistakes, but that’s a part of the journey. If you’re like most people, you don’t know how to even begin living a passionate life. That’s normal, and there’s a way out. You may want to check out my premium course on that, Passionate Living, where I share my story of how I went from miserable to doing what I love.
3. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.
I have found that going after my goals rigidly only makes me unhappy. I now make goals, but I am flexible about them. I am open to new possibilities. Having a goal is essential, but use it as a guideline and not as something you have to reach.
4. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Everything that you see around you will pass. Whatever success you may achieve will pass. Whatever failure you may run into will also pass. Doesn’t that make you wonder if life is more than chasing success and avoiding failure?
5. People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing - that’s why we recommend it daily.
Following your passion is not effortless. I know many who think it should be, which is another obstacle holding them back from taking action. This is not a walk in the park. It’s a path of rapid growth. It contains both joy and fear. But you can change your life.
6. Never, never, never, never give up.
Whatever you do, keep going. When I started playing poker professionally at the age of 18, I knew I was going to succeed. I was prepared to do anything. I knew that others were making money playing poker, so I thought if they can, so can I.
7. Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
You determine your happiness. There are several studies out there that show that even if you win the lottery, your state of happiness will return to its previous level in about a year. What happens outside of you is of little importance, as long as you have the basic necessities.
8. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Motivation ebbs and flows. When I started blogging, the first few months were easy, but then I started bumping into periods of low energy. Habit and a focus on helping people is what kept me going. I constantly reminded myself that this was what I wanted to do.
9. Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
You are responsible for how you feel. You can blame external things if you want to, but it will never change how things are. It is only when you accept your own responsibility that you can take action.
10. There’s always a way - if you’re committed.
If you are passionate enough and if you care enough, you will overcome any obstacles. Excuses will be a thing of the past, but if you’re not determined, you will let the smallest excuse to hold you back.
