Motivation and How to Keep it

For A Balanced Lifestyle

“Success requires a clear vision and consistent action”

Taking a motivational course or listening to motivational CDs is great.  But what happens after 2 weeks, a month?  Are you constantly putting the lessons into the action that they describe?  Probably not.  Then what happens?  You crash, feelings of failure, loss of self-esteem, anger etc.

You are probably not going to like what I am about to say, but more often than not you have heard it before “You’re the only one with the power to take control of your dominant thoughts and actions!”  Reflect on what you truly want for yourself and your family.  Get fired up and get excited about your desire.  Just remember, mastering yourself is the key.

It has been quoted “Vision without action is a dream.  Action without vision is simply passing the time.  Action with Vision is making a positive difference.”  Write this quote on a 3” x 4” card and read it once a day, every day.  Your subconscious mind will remember this quote and realize it is there to help you maintain your motivational energy.

Another unique way I had of keeping me motivated was using a 2’ x 3’ white board on my wall.  You can also set the board on a tripod stand.  It is just large enough to allow you to write your dreams or goals in large print.  Place the white board in a quiet room of your home, sit in a comfortable chair and concentrate on your dream.  Visualize what it would be like to accomplish this goal.  Dream of what the impact of this goal would have on you and your loved ones live.  You can write on the white board your plan of attack to accomplish this goal.  Add, erase, subtract from your plan, and adjust it according to how your plan is coming along.  With daily practice on these white boards, you will be able to release the power of your creative mind. 

The whole family can practice using a white board.  It can be a fun and terrific way to teach your family how visualization and can accelerate your goals.

Motivation comes from our thoughts or dreams, but without some sort of action plan you will stumble, causing frustration and lead you to possibly fail.  Let’s avoid this!  That is why the above exercise is an excellent way to keep you focused on your goal (dream).  Never loose sight of your goal.  Revisit it every morning, so you constantly think about your goal throughout the day.  Constantly think of what actions you must engage in and even what words you might speak to support your thoughts, dreams and emotions.

Stay alert!  Never loose site of your goal, keep the energy of intention burning inside you.  Intention transforms information and energy into what you put your mind on by organizing events and circumstances required for manifesting your desires, dreams and goals.  You attract into your life whatever you think about.  Your dominant thoughts will find a way for you to accomplish your goal.
