Easy Things To Stay Motivated

By Ted Johnson

Have you every wished you could take back an action and produce a different result? You can't take actions back, but you can take control of future actions. All actions are a result of emotion; emotions arise as a reaction to a thought. If you think you can't do something, change your thought about it and you will begin to feel differently. Our thoughts are the powerful driving force behind our actions. So, motivation begins with a thought. Your job is to distinguish whether what you perceive is real or an emotional response to what you believe is real.

It is human to respond when the going gets tough by going the other direction. We want the easy way out. The path we choose, however, will have an impact on our future. We will either be challenged to overcome or we will drawn into negative habits which are unhealthy and bring undesirable results. Even when the path of least resistance feels right and comfortable, it usually is not.

Each of us has to motivate and drive ourselves to actions that will promote good outcomes. In this process, we must try to identify our driving force. Remember to eliminate negativity from your everyday life. I once asked a good friend, and well known speaker, Bob McMinn, how he stays motivated. His response, "I do that which strengthens me."

Stay motivated and create action that consistently advances positive results in your life. As you try to figure out what motivates you, remember to get rid of the negative things in your path. It is good to do as a good friend, who is a successful platform speaker once told me he does. "I do that which strengthens me." -Bob McMinn.

There is no more powerful force than your mind. That which your mind perceives, it will conceive. We are unable to begin to plumb the powerful depths of our mind. When hardship and disappointment come, and that dark cloud begins to form over your head, do not feel helpless. Do not allow negativity to bring you down. Find ways for positive things to happen regardless of the situation.

Synchronicity enables the fusion of happy events into a happy life. Once positive energy becomes a part of your life it surrounds you and blesses everything you touch. The Law of Abundance will begin to bless you. It is worth it, therefore, to take time to learn to control your thoughts and emotions out of which flow your actions. As positive energy becomes a driving force you will find your motivation returns. - 16890
