Rekindle the Motivation Fire

One of the hardest challenges we all face in our lives is staying motivated. Whether it's our job, work, staying healthy, or keeping our relationships stimulating and growing, we all ebb and flow in our motivation cycles. No one's fire burns all the time. We actually need that ebb and flow to distinguish where we are and what we need to do to jump start things. The classic driving components of motivation are having a passion and a clearly defined purpose. When you combine that passion and purpose with drive, energy and commitment, then motivation is fired up. Passion and purpose are by far some of the strongest emotions and beliefs we experience. They touch us so deeply and leave an indelible enduring residual. Think about the people, places and things that you have been truly passionate about in your life. I mean the passions that propelled you to be better and feel more deeply.
So let’s look at these driving components of motivation:
1) Passion – are you passionate about who you are and what you are doing now? If not, then find the courage to become who you want to be and do what you really want to do.
2) Drive – do you have that “wanting it so much” that you are willing to take the calculated risks, mentality?
3) Risk Taking – have you identified what risks you can afford to take on the way to achieving your goals?
4) Commitment – are your goals written down? Are the tasks necessary to attain your goals outlined realistically? Motivation has to have a pay off, a reward.
REALISING OUR POTENTIAL IS THE ENGINE THAT DEFINES AND DRIVES OUR SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS AND WHY WE GET MOTIVATED. What qualities help us realise our p-o-t-e-n-t-i-a-l? Purpose-personal mission Optimism – positive attitude Tenacity – keep trying Enthusiasm – deep belief Nurture – learn and grow Trust – honour your word Integrity – honesty and loyalty Attainable – realistic goals Love – who you are and what you do What motivates you?
