I think I can! I think I can! we all remember the the little engine that could. We all wish we had the motivation to get an get things done. The power to focus beyond the distractions an push out beyond ourselves. Well we can! The secret is motivation.
We must find what pushes us forward, what makes us tick an what is our end goal. Every day when I know I have a long tough day ahead of me I watch a whole series of motivational videos. These videos I have embedded into my subconscious, so when I think I can’t I can hear them pushing me forward. They challenge me to move past me.
Do they work you may ask. Well think back to the greatest leaders of all times, people who motivated with words. People who can stir your heart to move on to do seemingly impossible things. Soldiers use motivation to take the hill, artist use it to finish off the major project that will one day change their life. People who do great things are motivated by things that they keep close within. Motivation is indeed a powerful tool. For some it’s when their back is against the wall an there is nowhere to go. I consider that forced motivation.
What motivates you to write on your blog? What pushes you through your day? What gives you the power to think beyond an do what is impossible? I really cherish motivation because without it I could accomplish nothing. Without proper motivation you are doomed to fail.
Motivation is the start, but then you must plan, the old saying ‘if you fail to plan you plan to fail’ I think is very true. I find that sometimes you get very motivated and enthusiastic about something but then bogged down in the planning and doing and the energy provided by the original motivation wanes. This is when we have to dig deep and conjur up those thoughts, ideas and personal mantras that inspire us.
So would you say motivation an inspiration are the two different things?
Off the top of my head I would say that inspiration is the germ of an idea, motivation is crystalising that inspiration into something less nebulous.
I love it!
My motivation comes from God. He placed inside me an insatiable curiosity keeping me constantly learning. I find myself reading new books because I want to learn something new. Further, I am curious about many things. I write about those things that spark my passion.
Inner passion leads to inner motivation. Thanks for the post.
Nice my hopes was for everyone reading it to find theirs an enhance their life.
