Motivation Tips

Learn To Motivate Yourself
By:Kenneth Friedberg

What is this thing we call motivation. Children hear all the time. "You need to motivate yourself". As adults we hear the same inspirational thought. Why is it so important? Why do we need these inspirational quotes. Basically without any motivation, we as a society, or let me bring this down to you, is a non moving society or a non moving you. Your parents and or friends help you with life coaching to assist you in better communication skills to create an inner communication for self motivation. This is what I need to discuss with you in this article; getting you to understand that you as a living human being should have this inner need to do things by motivating yourself.

Motivation is this inner feeling, this strong emotion within you telling your body and soul to achieve whatever you want. I do not want to play this down. In every one of us and that does include you, there is a need to want more out of life. If we did not possess motivation even a little, well then, consider yourself a vegetable. The need to get up in the morning, the need to eat, the need to get dressed and wash all comes from motivation. Whatever we want in life, there must be some form of motivation to get you from taking that first step towards that goal.

Goal setting is very important to achieve what you want in life. In middle school my uncle motivated me to get good grades by flashing money in front of me. You better believe that money motivated me to get my grades up and make the honor every report period. Another type of motivation I had as a youngster was learning to play the clarinet. My parents took me to see the Benny Goodman Story and at an early age I visualized myself playing that instrument and being very good at it. Guess what folks it worked. I practiced so much within 3 months of starting I debuted my talents as a soloist in front of an audience of 500 people. Now that shows you motivation which built confidence. This time in my life should be an inspiration to you. Positive thinking will get you where you desire to be.

Reaching goals is what we want to do. Sometimes to reach these goals takes us out of our comfort zone, but that is a good thing. This inner emotion pushing us towards goals is motivation. Now what you need to do is make a list of what goals in life you want to achieve and start your engines of motivation running.

My name is Ken and I write for a living about positive self talk and motivation to create a better you. Talking to your self is not being a crazy person. Talking to yourself in very positive ways can boost your morale and create a happier, healthier you. A report you may want read is http://www.learntomotivateyourself.com. Also, I have developed a newsletter talking about positive self talk and motivation.
