My friend had tested products himself and he is very convinced with effectiveness of products.

But my friend told me, "I have problem motivating myself."

"The products are excellent. The rewards system is good. There are a lot of success stories from those who have made it to top. But I can't keep myself going." My friend confided.

Have you felt this before?

This is a common problem that happens to everyone. We all have plans to achieve success in life. But what is lacking is motivation that keeps us going to convert plans into action.

Usually, you feel very 'excited' at beginning when doing something new for first time. But after a while, somehow you feel that you lack passion and motivation. The excitement that you had in first few days just disappeared for no reason.

I had similar problem. But I did not let problem of motivation stop me from achieving my goals.

Here are ways that I use that can effectively curb problem of motivation. I use one or more of these techniques.

1. READ A BOOK. Just grab a book and read; especially an inspirational book or a book of success stories. By reading these books, you not only learn from others but story will motivate you to move ahead with your plans. It also makes you re-focus your energy on your goals rather than focusing your energy on problems at hand. I especially like books written by Mark Victor Hansen.

2. THINK OF PURPOSE OF WHAT YOU DO. If you don't feel motivated, think of why you want to achieve what you want. That is purpose of doing what you are doing. Your purpose could be to improve life of others, or help people to do things more efficiently, or to help people to make more money. Thinking of your purpose is an important way to motivate you.

The Moment Of Truth!

Regardless of whom you are, you are unique, you are special, and you are a wonderful person. Yet, certain people may not think so. :>) if you feel that they react negatively and offensively to many things that you say and do, you may discover some insight here: They are just as human as you are.

You might not want to believe this but; everything that makes you special makes them special. If something offends you, it might also offend them. If something influences you, in some given manner, same thing might also influence them.

Undesirable reactions on part of others could be due to what you say and how you say it. Or, it could be because of inner attitudes and your true inner feelings.

The spoken word is often a reflection of hidden thoughts and attitude of mind. It may be difficult at times to realize that fault lies with you. And, it can be just as difficult to initiate a change when you do realize that fault lies with you.

A Little Difference Makes A Big Difference!

There is a very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it's positive or negative.

People who want to be happy make decision to have a positive attitude. People who have a negative attitude, many times, think they have a positive attitude and repel very happiness they are trying to achieve.

What they attract is unhappiness and go around scratching their head trying to figure out who busted their chops. They don't recognize it, but a negative attitude is what robbed them of their happiness.

It Just Goes To Show!

Most people don't really give much thought to "happiness". They just observe whether or not they are. Most people will try to obtain happiness by searching for it. Most fall flat on their face.

You see, happiness is not obtained by searching for it. Happiness is not obtained by acquiring things like money. I know; I can hear someone now saying, "You're speaking heresy"! Now listen. There are rich people all over world that are miserable. And, if you set out to make yourself happy, you will find happiness to be very elusive.

One of surest ways to obtain happiness is to bring happiness to someone else; when you do this, happiness comes to you. What happens is; it turns on attraction mechanism and you can't beat it off with a stick.

Raining Cats And Dogs!

The more you share happiness, more you will get. But, if you share unhappiness and misery you will get back unhappiness and misery. Sounds logical right? Have you ever known someone who was constantly in trouble? I'm not talking about "opportunities" in disguise.

I'm talking about person that no matter what happens to him it just isn't good. This guy will find gasoline in his water bucket if he needs to put out a fire. The reason is; this type of person is always sharing his troubles with someone else.

What happens then? Others begin to avoid him which just makes his unhappiness worse. Other people know if they get around him all they will hear is, "woe is me".

Whether he will admit it or not, He is trying to get happy by making others feel sorry for him. And maybe they will do something to "fix" his unhappiness; although, he won't admit he is unhappy.

Someday My Ship Will Come In!

These are kind of people who long for happiness and love but never seem to get it. They are repelling very thing they yearn for with a trouble mentality. They just secretly hope that something good will someday somehow come their way.
