What Does Motivation Actually Mean?

 
The first step to self-motivation is to get out of your own way. Fear, procrastination, worry, and low self-esteem are deal-breakers for getting the motivation you need for achieving success.

While some people may argue that we’re all too crazy busy these days to constantly walk around with a calm spirit and a peaceful attitude in our hearts, there’s only one solution for getting motivated.

You have to WANT to get motivated. No other human being can make you or cause you to become motivated.

Yes, there are motivational tapes, motivational books, and even motivational coaches that you can hire to get you motivated enough to push forward. But unless you mentally and physically position yourself for achievement and success, you’ll think that it doesn’t matter.

Here’s a quick exercise to try when you want to build up your motivation.

For the next 30 minutes, think only about positive thoughts. When negative thoughts arise, think the opposite. Next, focus on whatever words come out of your mouth. Are they positive words? The mouth speaks what’s in the heart. What’s in your heart today? Speak it and think about it, and it will be so.

If you want success, tell yourself that you’re already successful. If you want success, speak as if you ALREADY have it. But you have to believe it!

Just like the opposite of telling lies, when you speak truth and success into your life, you’ll begin to believe it. Then you’ll begin to act like it already exists. Then you’ll achieve it.

We all need to make a start at one point or another. Why not let it be a free place?
