The secret behind becoming motivated!

Motivation comes from a Latin word motive - meaning “to move”. It propels you to do something, to take action, and it is so important that without it, you have no forward momentum and your life stands still.

Motivation can be summed up as:

• a want, a need and a belief that drives you

• a thought, a feeling, energy to get moving

• a mix of discipline and desire to work towards a goal

• the push of your mental forces to accomplish an action

It is easy to see how important this factor is in achieving our goals in life and we would all like to have unlimited amounts of it to draw upon when needed. If only we could find out how to motivate ourselves on a regular and consistent basis, our problems would be over.

So where does this leave you? There is exciting news for you as there really is no secret. Motivation can be yours and become as natural to you as breathing. Here is how you can find it.

The big problem is that many of us believe that motivation is something that will come to us if we wait long enough or that it is something that we either have or we don’t have. Not so. Motivation is something that we create for ourselves, not something that just shows up and comes to us.

It is no different for any of us as what motivates each of us changes from day to day. What got us cranked up yesterday may not work today and we may need to find something else or use another tool to get the job done.

This may mean digging deep inside to find the thing that will get us up and moving.

Once you find some ways to propel yourself into action, you will have the key to sustain it long term with little effort. It will become easier and easier until it is simply another habit, just like brushing your teeth.

It is never about the perfect circumstances; it is about your ability to create, sustain and continue to renew your motivation that will determine your success in every part of your life.

An exciting challenge awaits you, and you can do it.
