Where are you at

 asked that many times. And the one thing that gave me encouragement that it could happen for me, was that I saw other people enjoying financial success. When I looked at some of the people who were successful I saw that they did not quit, like I had at times. And now, years down the road they were enjoying the fruit of their labor.

It’s darkest before the dawn.

This thought has helped me to hold on when things have felt very difficult and I felt like giving up and going home. Because I have found it to be true.

When things seemed to be at the lowest point with my blog and business, with my dating life or with my motivation in life in general something always happened.

Probably quite often because being at that low point forced me to change something in how I did things.

But maybe also because life seems to have some kind of balance if I just keep going. If I just keep taking action instead of giving up and doing nothing then something good always happens.

Seeing this repeat itself strengthened my belief in taking action and to keep going even on rough days or weeks. And it brings some comfort even when things look pretty dark.

Attitudes towards people

Having a winning attitude towards people means that you want to build up people and add value. So you show love to others. You want to enrich them. When you have finished talking to a person, you want that person to feel richer for having been in your presence.

Being friendly, polite, patient and encouraging, whether people are nice or nasty.

It means seeing the positive things in others. And treating them as if it were their birthday - every day. Building them up at every opportunity.
These are great attitudes to strive for

Believe in yourself

Every day brings new experiences that you can add to your learning. The wealth of experience and knowledge you have accumulated over the years, plus the things you have already achieved, will help you accomplish goals that you never even dreamed were possible.

Believe in your ability to do awesome things. Don't worry about how you'll get it right, just start telling yourself that you can reach incredible goals. You can achieve your dreams. Each of us has to start believing that we can. We need to see ourselves as achievers.

When you have that kind of mindset, and a wild idea pops into your mind, you won't say: "I could never".You'll think: "That sounds like a great idea. Why don't I try that?"

your better future

As you grow personally: developing your attitudes, skills and character, you will become more of what you were born to be.


To do the great things that you were born to do, you need to become more. A character that can persevere when everything inside of you wants to quit. Goal directed and focused so you are not sidetracked by the irritations of life.


 Growing in humility so that you don’t become arrogant and drive others away. At the same time, having a belief in yourself and a trust in your Creator because when things are not working, you need to keep believing and working hard.

struggling financially

Negative people can keep you in poverty, by their comments.


Yet, the wealthy don't listen to the negative comments of others. They set their financial goals and see themselves achieving them. Before they start a venture they do their due dilegence. In the same way, when you learnt about Be Motivated Today,  or any other business that you started on, you did your homework. You also read or heard testimonies of people who are succeeding. You realized that it could work. So you set some goals and you got started.

You probably have had negative people who have criticized you and told you that you would not succeed. Yet the facts are that other people are succeeding and all you need to do, is follow what successful people are doing.


But if you follow the negative comments of your critics, you will only end up where they are - still struggling financially.

winners

Winners take chances.

Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don't give up.

When life gets rough, they hang in until the going gets better.
Winners are flexible.

They realize there is more than one way and are willing to try others.
Winners don't blame fate for their failures, nor luck for their successes.
Winners are patient.

They know a goal is only as worthy as the effort that's required to achieve it
Winners are people like you.

They make this world a better place.

take ownership

In your job, you have a number of responsibilities. Take complete ownership of these responsibilities. Do WHATEVER you can, to fulfil them as efficiently as possible.

 

 

Always be on the lookout for ways to complete them faster and more efficiently. Continually study and learn so that you improve your career skills, to do your job more effectively and add more value to those around you. This is part of what it means to be pro-active! It is what your boss is looking for and it will help you to get FAR in life.

How to Boost Confidence

How to Boost Confidence

The first motivation killer is a lack of confidence. When this happens to me, it’s usually because I’m focusing entirely on what I want and neglecting what I already have. When you only think about what you want, your mind creates explanations for why you aren’t getting it. This creates negative thoughts. Past failures, bad breaks, and personal weaknesses dominate your mind. You become jealous of your competitors and start making excuses for why you can’t succeed. In this state, you tend to make a bad impression, assume the worst about others, and lose self confidence.

The way to get out of this thought pattern is to focus on gratitude. Set aside time to focus on everything positive in your life. Make a mental list of your strengths, past successes, and current advantages. We tend to take our strengths for granted and dwell on our failures. By making an effort to feel grateful, you’ll realize how competent and successful you already are. This will rejuvenate your confidence and get you motivated to build on your current success.

 

It might sound strange that repeating things you already know can improve your mindset, but it’s amazingly effective. The mind distorts reality to confirm what it wants to believe. The more negatively you think, the more examples your mind will discover to confirm that belief. When you truly believe that you deserve success, your mind will generate ways to achieve it. The best way to bring success to yourself is to genuinely desire to create value for the rest of the world.

reality check

We all wish that everything would work out perfectly, according to our ideals. It does not always. Whether it's the job, our spouse, the kids or our health. Nothing is perfect. And we can't just trade them in. At least one can change boy/girlfriends, but you can't swap the kids for better behaved ones. But we can choose to be thankful for the good things we have. Then we face the music with courage, improve our skills, have a great attitude anyway and make the most of life - make it happen.

Staying motivated

Staying motivated is a struggle — our drive is constantly assaulted by negative thoughts and anxiety about the future. Everyone faces doubt and depression. What separates the highly successful is the ability to keep moving forward.

There is no simple solution for a lack of motivation. Even after beating it, the problem reappears at the first sign of failure. The key is understanding your thoughts and how they drive your emotions. By learning how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones, and focus on the task at hand, you can pull yourself out of a slump before it gains momentum.

Motivation Tips

Despite your best efforts, passion, habits and a flow-producing environment can fail. In that case, it’s time to find whatever emotional pump-up you can use to get started. Here are a few:

1. Go Back to “Why” – Focusing on a dull task doesn’t make it any more attractive. Zooming out and asking yourself why you are bothering in the first place will make it more appealing. If you can’t figure out why, then there’s a good chance you shouldn’t bother with it in the first place.
2. Go for Five – Start working for five minutes. Often that little push will be enough to get you going.
3. Move Around – Get your body moving as you would if you were extremely motivated to do something. This ‘faking it’ approach to motivation may seem silly or crude, but it works.
4. Find the Next Step – It’s impossible to work on a project. All you can do is focus on the next immediate step. Fighting an amorphous blob of work will only cause procrastination. Chunk it up so that it becomes manageable.
5. Find Your Itch – What is keeping you from working. Don’t let the itch continue without isolating it and removing the problem. Are you unmotivated because your tired, afraid, bored, restless or angry. Maybe it is because you aren’t sure you have time or delegated tasks haven’t been finished yet.
6. Deconstruct Your Fears – I’m sure you don’t have a phobia about getting stuff done. But at the same time, hidden fears or anxieties can keep you from getting real work completed. Isolate the unknowns and make yourself confident you can handle the worst case scenario.
7. Get a Partner – Find someone who will motivate you when you’re feeling lazy. I have a friend I go to the gym with. Besides spotting weight, having a friend can help motivate you to work hard when you’d normally quit.
8. Kickstart Your Day – Plan out tomorrow. Get up early and place all the important things early in the morning. Building momentum early in the day can usually carry you forward far later.
9. Read Books – Not just self-help or motivational books, but any book that has new ideas. New ideas get your mental gears turning and can build motivation. Learning new ideas puts your brain in motion, so it requires less time to speed up to your tasks.
10. Get the Right Tools – Your environment can have a profound effect on your enthusiasm. Computers that are too slow, inefficient applications or a vehicle that breaks down constantly can kill your motivation. Building motivation is almost as important as avoiding the traps that can stop it.
11. There are No Small Problems - The worst killer of motivation is facing a seemingly small problem that creates endless frustration. Reframe little problems that must be fixed as bigger ones, or they will kill any drive you have.
12. Develop a Mantra – Find a few statements that focus your mind and motivate you. It doesn’t matter whether they are pulled from a tacky motivational poster, or just a few words to tell you what to do. If you aren’t sure where to start, a good personal mantra is, “Do it now!”
13. Build on Success – Success creates success. When you’ve just won, it is easy to feel motivated about almost anything. Emotions tend not to be situation specific, so a small win, whether it is a compliment from a colleague or finishing two thirds of your tasks before noon can turn you into a juggernaut. There are many ways you can place small successes earlier on to spur motivation later. Structuring your to-do lists, placing straightforward tasks such as exercising early in the day or giving yourself an affirmation can do the trick.

supportive environment

Build a supportive environment.

When ads, magazines and other media over and over tell you that you can reach a goal very quickly – lose 30 pounds in 10 days! – you may start to expect such results. But in reality it is often a bit messier and takes more time and effort than that.

So start recreating the environment you live in. Discard some of your old input that just frustrates you in the end. Add new sources that support delaying gratification.

Start to read blogs that keep your motivation and optimism up but also focus on long term progress.
Read books from people who have done what you want to do. People who can paint a picture of what you may encounter based on experience and give you a more accurate time-frame for success.
Talk to the people in your life or outside of it that seem to be good at delaying gratification. See if they have some strategies and tips that can help you.

If you can get accountability partner that helps you to stay on track with for instance your diet or building your own business then that can be very helpful too.

Adjust your expectations with the help of your new environment and use the environment for support when you feel like giving up or giving into an instant gratification impulse.
Detach from of the outcome and learn to find the pleasure in the journey
.
When I lost 26 pounds in 2009 and over the years as I have built this blog I have created and used an environment that supported the long term work. But when I have actually done the exercising or writing, day after day and week after week, I have detached from the outcome.

I first got this tip to detach from the ancient Sanskrit Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita. It says:
“To action alone hast thou a right and never at all to its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive; neither let there be in thee any attachment to inaction”

This tells me to understand that I cannot control the results of my action. I can’t control how someone reacts to what I say or what I do. And that I should do what I do just because it is something I want to do rather than because of some outcome I’d like. But at the same time I should not let these two ideas lead me to become passive and get stuck in sitting on my hands and not taking action at all.
Basically, I do what I think is right and that is my responsibility. And then the rest (the possible results), well, that is not up for me to decide about or try to control. I let it go.

Now, I apply this when I do something. I can get motivated by future results before the doing the activity. But when I start doing any of those activities I detach and change how I think. I just focus on showing up and doing. This may sound a bit weird or hard but after a while it gets easier and easier to do that shift in your mind and to not start projecting into the future while you are doingsupportive environmentsupportive environment
