ARE YOU WILLING TO PROSPER?Written by Rhoberta Shaler

Then think about your unique talents and abilities? Fully explore these. It is not arrogance to know that you do something well. What are you passionate about? Can you use your unique talents and abilities in pursuit of your passion? Yes, and it is probably best, and most satisfying, place to use them, too! What are most important, significant and valuable things in your life? Recently I was giving a seminar and I asked folks, "What would you be willing to burn at stake for?" A bit extreme but they did get point. If something—a principle, relationship, belief--is truly valuable to you that needs to be demonstrated by you every minute, doesn't it? It cannot be a principle, relationship or belief that is held or lived only when it's convenient or expedient. You have seen this and it is not pretty! Living your life in integrity with what you value puts you on direct path to prosperity in all areas of your life. What better time to get these ducks in a row than NOW?

Continued from page 1 came in contact with. He tried it with me once... I said ONCE... and I never helped him again. He began to wonder why he was not being offered good deals from suppliers that I was being offered. And, why weren't his customers returning to buy more? The fact is - bad things start to happen when greed comes into play. It may not happen straight away, but it does happen. Greed often leads to arguing and fighting which is stressful and demotivating. I believe in doing your best and treating others, as you would expect to be treated. With right attitude, people will go out of their way to help you. DEMOTIVATOR # 3. Demotivation can happen when you strive for impossible. You may start to think, "it’s all too hard" or "it’s just not worth it any more." Demanding best of yourself and having others demand it of you is fine, but you are headed for a fall if you demand perfection. Be positive, know what you are capable of doing and be realistic. That way you won’t be disappointed. The thing to remember is that motivation and demotivation are about getting balance right. We all have our ups and downs and none of us can expect to be 100% motivated all time. We all go through patches of boredom, depression and lethargy. But, don’t worry too much, unless your demotivation lasts for weeks on end. If it does, then you may have to sit down and carefully assess your situation. Think about what might be causing problem. Think about what changes may be necessary to maintain your right level of motivation? At end of day, your success in life will depend on your own personal motivation, dedication, and commitment. You'll know your capabilities. Your level of motivation will determine what you do and your attitude will determine how well you do it. Above all, don’t let demotivation defeat you.
