Self Improvement Information

Have you ever wondered why, with so many things that make us alike, we have so many differences that pull us apart?  We are emotional human beings.  We have basic human needs that motivate us.  But, could it be that we each have a different set of priorities which we use for motivation?

I know what I wrote may seem criptic.  I have a video from a speech that Tony Robbins made to TED.  TEDtalks, “Ideas worth spreading”, is a place where the greatest minds in the world meet to share their ideas.  Tony was invited to speak and he gave a talk that is both informative and inspiritational.  I have listened to this video twice and I have gotten something new out of it each time I have listened.  I encourage you to watch it also.  It is a little over 21 mintues long.  It really made me think, like only Tony Robbins can do.  Three questions his video answers are:  “why do we do what we do?, ”what movtivates us?”, and “why can we all get along?”

If you are ready to learn something new and answer some questions that you might not have known you had, get another cup of your favorite relaxing beverage, sit back and enjoy this video.  You won’t be sorry you made the time commitment.  If you are unable to view the video on my blog, here is the link,  click here.

Have you discovered which of the 6 human needs motivates you the most?  How can we grow more and contribute beyond ourselves?  I believe we need appropriate goals to move us forward.   You can find your answers to effective goal setting by getting involved in the 7 day goal setting course.  It is delivered straight to your inbox of your email.  Click here to find out more!

Where is the secret place of motivation?  Why do I refer to it as the secret place?  Many people are searching for it and at times it can be quite allusive.

Sometimes, we feel the need to push ourselves to try and reach the motivation.  But, self motivation is a flow.  It is not something that can be forced.  The forcing causes it to slip away like reaching for a ball in a pool of water that is just beyond our finger tips.

Stephen Pierce has said that motivation is “the fuel in the engine of our lives that helps us to take action on ideas and sustain action when our commitment to succeed becomes challenged”.  But, most people fear that action in the wrong direction can prove to be disastrous.  It must be the right action.  They become consumed by the collection of information so that they can take the right action and thus become immobilized by procrastination.  That is called paralysis through analysis.  That is the biggest enemy of motivation.  The only way to fight that is to take action, even in small steps toward your worthwhile goal.  We don’t have to understand it all at once.  The information will come as we become ready for it.  We have to get beyond that paralysis by focusing on what we are going to do, not what we are going through.

Once you have determined your path of action, in what you have deemed important, brace yourself for adversity.  It will happen.  One of the best quotes I have heard about adversity is, also, by Stephen Pierce when he says, “Adversity is life’s gym where we do strength training to build the type of emotional, mental and spiritual muscle to be the victor over circumstances and not the victim.” 

We would all like to be in that special place where the champions of life reside.  It is a worthwhile place to be.  It also is a place that has to be earned.  To earn that place means doing today what others won’t so you can have tomorrow what others don’t.  When you have made the decision to rise up to the champion place you will be tested by the fires of fear, uncertainty, doubts, critics, and mega distractions.  It will seem that life is hell bent on derailing you!  Anything to try to take you off the path of Big Momentum or Big Mo.

When those things in life take you off the path of momentum, don’t beat up on yourself.  It’s time to dust yourself off and start again.  Re-aquaint yourself with your passion.  Fight procrastination by finding a way to hold yourself accountable.

Since the dawn of human time, people have been scratching their heads and wondering about .  From the cave leader wondering how to motivate their clan into having the best hunting year, to store up those much needed supplies for winter, to the modern day business person pondering the motivation of themselves and their team to move their business forward.  We all know, to get something accomplished there has to be some motivation involved.

We’ve all had the experience of going to a seminar or convention and after listening to some motivational speakers we come home all jazzed up, ready to conquer the world!  We are excited to rip into our lives or vocation with a renewed vigor.  This time, we are going to make it happen!  But, after a certain length of time we slip back into our usual routine and habits.  How can we get that “convention spirit” to move with us through our lives?  How do we get BIG MOmentum to be with us and play on our team?  Here are 5 things that will attract BIG Mo.

1.  It all starts out with our dreams.  Dreams come from within.  They give us passion.  Dreams become our vision for our lives.  They need to be clear, concise, and emotion driven. What is your vision for your life?  What are you passionate about?  Take time every day to visualize and stoke up the flames of your passion!  Is there room in your vision for others?  How does your vision include those that work with you?  If you want to motivate yourself you will need to see your success, as if it has already happened, in your mind’s eye.  To motivate others, they will need to see themselves fitting into your dream and vision.

2.  The second step to harnessing BIG MO is to believe.  It starts with setting an intention of “this is what I am doing.”  When things are not going right for you that power of belief will keep you moving forward.  The most successful people believe that there is a plan and purpose for their life.  They, also, believe that they are destined for success.  We are all unique people.  We are all designed to bring value to others’ lives.  By using tools like self improvement it is possible to raise that level of belief in ourselves. Growing our knowledge in our chosen field of endeavor increases our level of competency, which increases that belief in ourselves even more.

3.  Take action!  This can’t be stressed enough.  Without action there is no attraction.  When there isn’t continuous action, BIG Mo becomes a thing of the past, if it ever happened at all.  Here is a guideline for action.  If you don’t know what to do, take action.  If you are fearful, take action.  Nothing breaks through to BIG MO more than action.  Don’t let the fear of not knowing what to do stop you.  Get outside the box.  Find out what people need.  Fill that need.  Take risks.  Failure is just another way to know what not to do.  Fail fast, make adjustments, and move on.

4.  Model someone that you view as successful in what you are doing.  Mentor with someone you respect.  Dream big when it comes to who you choose to mentor you.  Follow someone that has already blazed the trail.  Pick a mentor that will hold you accountable.  Then, when you become successful, don’t forget to mentor those coming up.  Have an abundance mentality.  By that, I mean, wanting others to succeed in a big way. Modeling is a huge time saver and the ultimate leverage. 

5.  Have fun!  This last point is very important.  Some people get so wrapped up in wanting success that they stop having fun.  Stop taking yourself so seriously.  Develop your sense of humor.  Make life and your business fun. A fun atmosphere in the workplace is a breeding ground for creativity.  It creates strong relationships.  A team that plays together, stays together.

Motivation is not a science.  It is fed by a clearly defined passion.  The people that succeed are those that set goals that motivates them.  A motivated person moves the people around them.  Everyone would like to have BIG MO playing on their team.  A plan of action needs goals.  Take action, today, by signing up for the free seven day goal setting course on the right side of this page.  BIG MO and your future will thank you for it.
