MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change!!

Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a better source of income. Being humiliated gives us the push to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassment.

It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need to improve ourselves.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated?

Try on these

I prepared from A to Z:

A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things, and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

B - Believe in yourself, and in what you can do.

C - Consider things from every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.

D - Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed over a hundred times before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation your guiding star. 

E - Enjoy work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody is watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F - Family and Friends are life’s greatest of treasures. Don’t lose sight of them.

G - Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self-improvement take place at work? At home? At school?  When you exert extra effort in doing things.

H - Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force. 

I - Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people get the best of you. Stay away from toxic people and the kind of friends who hate to hear about your success.

J - Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K - Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self-improvement.

 L - Learn to love yourself. Now isn’t that easy?

M - Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.

N - Never lie, cheat, or steal. Always play a fair game.

O - Open your eyes. People should learn horse sense and the horse attitude. In other words, visualize things in 2 ways:  as you want them to be - in the future - and as they are at present.    

P – “Practice makes perfect” is probably the oldest cliché in the history of the world.  But it has the kernel of truth.  Practice is about motivation.  Each repetition brings us closer to mastery of a skill.  

Q - Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate: are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R - Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others get on their high horse and push us around. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

S - Stop procrastinating!!

T - Take control of your life. Discipline or self-control gibes with motivation. Both are key factors in self-improvement.

U - Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. First seek to understand, and then to be understood.

V - Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.

W - Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that evolves from the roots of motivation and self-improvement.

X - X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on “extras” on your life, like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y - You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence because you’re just going to spend it once.

Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!
