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 source
of income.
Being humiliated gives us the
‘push’ to speak
up and fight for ourselves to
save our face
from the next embarrassments.
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
in order to
improve ourselves.
With the countless negativities
the world
brings about, how do we keep
motivated? Try
on the tips 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 your self, and
in what you
can do.
C – Consider things on 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 once, twice, more
than thrice
before he came up with his invention
and
perfected the incandescent light
bulb. Make
motivation as your steering wheel.
E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t
need money.
Dance as if nobody’s 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
‘F’ treasures. Don’t loose 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 to get
the best of
you. Stay out of toxic people
– the kind
of friends who hates 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 your self.
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 the
horse attitude and horse sense.
They see
things in 2 ways – how they want
things to
be, and how they should be.
P – Practice makes perfect. Practice
is about
motivation. It lets us learn
repertoire and
ways on how can we recover from
our mistakes.
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 will get on their feet
and try to
push us around. Remember, it
wasn’t raining
when Noah build the ark.
S – Stop procrastinating.
T – Take control of your life.
Discipline
or self control jives synonymously
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. Yearn to understand first,
and to
be understood the second.
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 is rooted out 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!!!
