The Power of
Self Motivation
Self motivation is essential if you want to
excel and succeed in life and business.
You
can achieve everything you have ever wanted to have, experience, or
become.
The power has and always will be within you, but nothing will happen
until you get and stay motivated to make something happen, to change your
life and achieve your desires. Self
motivation empowers you and helps you keep your spirit high no matter how
discouraging a situation is.
Your Intention
Succeeding in life and business requires a strong intention to
succeed. "How to" is secondary.
Get inspired first.
Have a dream. If you really want
something you’ll invent amazing ways to
achieve it.
3 Pillars of Inspiration
"Just as an archer requires a
target before he can shoot his arrow, you need a target before you can get
motivated to achieve it."4
Your intention is a
synergistic combination of three elements: desire,
belief, and
acceptance. It determines your motivation and how successfully you attain
your goals...

Discontent as
a Motivator
Discontent, anxiety, and anger, if you use and
harness it in a positive way, are some of the most powerful motivations you
can have. Use them if you're not happy with where you are right now. Find an
area of discontent, think things through, and
taking
action.
Take Action!
Fear as a
Motivator
You have two ways to go with fear. You can
weaken the negative ones or strengthen the empowering ones.4
Take in mind a goal that you wish to achieve.
Be specific about what you want and why you want it. Once you have your
chosen goal in mind, it's time to create some fear. Imagine that you lived
the rest of your life never having achieved your goal, and you never
realized your potential or what you were capable of.
Failure As a Stepping Stone To Success
Create as horrible a
picture as you can about this possible future. Think about how you'll feel
about yourself, how others will feel about you, and how much it will hurt to
know that you'll never do the things you wanted to do.
And most effective of all, you
never became the person you always knew you could be.
You now have fear working for
you. Human beings will do most anything to avoid an intensely painful
situation. By using this to your advantage you will be motivated to achieve
your goal and avoid the pain of regret.4
Problem Solving
Problem
Solving Strategies: 4 Levels
Your attitude is extremely important. When you
think of problems you'll only attract more problems. When you think of
solutions – you'll attract solutions and
opportunities.
Don't focus on the problem, look
for solutions. See every
every problem
as an opportunity.
Approach the problem
with the expectant attitude that there is an
innovative practical solution
just waiting to be found. Be relaxed, confident and clear in your
mind....

(EI)
"Emotional Intelligence"
refers to your capacity to recognize your own feelings and those of others,
for motivating yourself, and for managing
emotions well in yourself and in your
relationships.

distinct from, but complementary to, academic intelligence, the purely
