Remember the guy in
second place? Neither does anyone else.
Good morning and happy Friday everyone! Ok, let’s get right
into it. I am still trying to figure out
which angle I will continue to take this blog.
Whether you are a gentleman or a lady, today’s message is for you. As for now, I am just speaking from my heart
and what is going on in my life at this time.
I have recently been doing a lot of studying on motivation. What is motivation? Motivation is your ability to remain focused
and energetic about the things you find important in your life. At some point in your life, everyone finds
moments when they are extremely motivated.
Then, like many things in life, it soon fades away. So what is the best way to stay
motivated? There are thousands of books
and talks available for you to figure out the best way for you, but I am going
to speak on what has worked best for me.
The best way I have found to stay motivated, is to submerge myself with
the right information. In today’s world,
there is a vast amount of information available to us at our finger tips. Podcast, e-books, e-mails, websites, YouTube,
and of course blogs. You have the
information to achieve anything you want and you choose to spend these
opportunities playing Temple Run and watching someone break their neck on YouTube?! Motivate yourself by staying informed! Motivate yourself by surround yourself with
the right people! It’s very difficult to
remain motivated and focused with the circle of individuals you choose to spend
your time with are in the same place they were 5 years ago!
The answer to your motivation is not on your couch with your
HD TV on! Develop small goals on a daily
basis that will take you in the right direction. I have a daily goal that I will always read
15 minutes a day from a self-improvement book.
Is it easy to read 15 minutes a day? Absolutely! Is it is not
to read from a self-improvement book for 15 minutes a day? Absolutely! When I remind myself of why it is important
for me to engage in this activity, it doesn't seem so hard. No matter how long my day has been. You have heard the saying “A body in motion
tends to stay in motion.” The same is
true with your mind. If you are able to
do small things on a daily basis and move yourself in the right direction, it
becomes very easy to do these things
on a daily basis. I’ll be honest. When I woke up this morning at 5:00am, I really didn't feel like going to run my
4 miles. But I did it anyway. Why?
Because I want to remain motivated!
Sure I could have gotten a little more sleep. Hell, I don’t have to be to the office until
9:00am! So why do I decide to get up at
5:00am when I’m not being told? Whatever
is most important to you in your life, you will find the time to get these
things done. Getting up 4 hours before I
have to go to work expresses a
desire for more. I’m more hungry now
than I have ever been in my
life! The reason? I keep my goals in front of me on a daily
basis and I do the small things in life, whether I feel like it or not. I can take a look at anyone’s daily schedule
and tell you why you are not where you want to be today. It’s because of the small things. So make the
decision today to focus on the details in your life, the small steps that you
will take throughout the day. Do this
and watch your motivation shift into
the next gear!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. I really hope this is positively affecting
the lives of others. My new schedule for
the blog will be as follows. I will post
a new blog every Monday and Friday. As
the blog develops and progresses, I will add more new blogs to the weekly
postings. Now go chase your dreams and remember
to keep the Gentleman First.
