Motivation Tips
Pain is a great motivator for change. If we are unable to produce an income, we go into debt just trying to survive. If we get failing grades, we know we need to study. When we suffer embarrassments or humiliation, we need to learn to stand up for ourselves and speak out. To improve ourselves, we need to be highly motivated. This can come in the form of a friend's rags to riches story, an inspirational movie or self-help books, perhaps on the Law of Attraction or the Science of Getting Rich.
Keeping motivated and positive is crucial. The A to Z tips below will help in actualizing the Law of Attraction.
A - Accomplish what you set out to do. Surround yourself with positive people, places and things. As Robert Kennedy once said, "Some see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and say why not!"
B - Believe you can succeed. Believe this not just in your head but with your whole being.
C - Consider all things from all sides. Motivation doesn't just happen, we make it happen through determination. Life is better understood when we take even the smallest things into account.
D - Don't stop trying. Only then do you fail. Thomas Edison said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
E - Enjoy what you do. That makes motivation so much easier. Thomas Edison was a very motivated person who said, "I've never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun."
F - Friends and Family are the foundation of your support. Always remember this.
G - Give all you've got and more. Whether it is at home, work or school, when you give more than is asked of you, you feel more motivated to improve yourself.
H - Hope feeds your dreams. Dare to dream and dream of hope. This will be the force that gets you through.
I - Intentionally avoid negative people. There will be people who try to bring you down, even friends. Don't let them. You may need to sever some ties with some people.
J - Just. Be just yourself and be just to yourself and others. If you try to please everyone else, you end up not pleasing anyone, especially not yourself.
K - Keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you keep trying no matter what, you haven't failed. A motivated person will keep moving forward no matter what life dishes out. The result is an improved self.
L - Love yourself first. Before you can love others, you must love yourself.
M - Make it happen. Putting your dreams to work is motivation.
N - Never compromise the game. It should always be fair.
O - Open you mind as well as your eyes. Always be open to new ways of seeing things. You never know but that you could find the best way to reach your goals this way.
P - Practice what you preach. If you do what you say and say what you do, you keep motivated and honest. It also makes sure you correct your mistakes rather than ignore them.
Q - Quitters are never really in the game and winners are in all the way. Which are you? Quitter or winner? The choice is yours.
R - Ready, set, go! Get motivated, move forward and don't stop. Others will be less likely to get in your way when they see your determination.
S - Stop putting things off to the last minute. This results in hurried carelessness. If Noah had waited until the first drop of rain fell to start building the Ark, it would have been a leaky tub.
T - Take responsibility for yourself. Self-improvement comes from self-discipline and self-control. Self-motivation goes hand-in-hand with these.
U - Understand the thoughts and feelings of others. Communication is key to the Science of Getting Rich and communication is more than just talking. You must listen at least as much as you talk.
V - Visualize your dreams and aspirations. If you can see it, you can achieve it. That will provide motivation to see it through.
W - Want your dreams to be reality. This is the crux of motivation. Believing in your dreams will make you want to improve yourself to make them real.
X - 'Xtra' motivation. Motivate yourself to have the extras you need - extra time for yourself, your family and friends, to give and get extra help at work, etc.
Y - You are yourself. You are unique in every way. No one else is like you. That uniqueness gives you value in your life, so make the most of it.
Z - Zap the negatives in your life and zero in on the positives. Dare to dream and go after them.
