"Motivation, What's Your Excuse?"
When you want to succeed as bad as you breathe, THEN you will be successful! It doesn't mean much to simply wish for your dreams to come true. It takes tons of dedication, discipline and hard work to turn those dreams to realities. Taking action over and over again strengthens your will, nurtures the seed, and establishes a solid foundation for the new habit to grow. Taking action is being alive! It's taking the risk to go out and express your dreams. No matter what happens to you, failure is an inside job --you don't actually fail until you give up on yourself. If you want to fins success in this world, you should ALWAYS be looking to build on the common threads that you share with others. To become successful, it is also important to clarify your goals. Goals thus enable you to chart a course to your destination--fulfilling your purpose. By keeping your goals top-of-mind, you allocate your time and energy to the courses of action that support achievement of your purpose and vision....rather than squandering these precious resources on less relevant activities. In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved in it. Goals encourage us to focus. The trick to clarifying your goals is to set them high. A goal needs to be something that you have to stretch or go the "extra mile" to attain. Write down of print down goals and post them where you will see them everyday. Achieving smaller goals will help your confidence in setting and attain larger goals. Remember, to go where you've never been, sometimes you have to do things you've never done!
