Motivational: Motivation, Your Core Resource

Motivation, Your Core Resource

Written by Ke o agile

Your motivation is one of repparttar

core resources you have to accomplish all repparttar 122818

things you want to achieve. Let us get one thing clear though before we handle this resource called motivation.

You may have listened to people who refer to themselves as 'motivational speakers'. And you may have attended a motivational training workshop. You got motivated there. Good!

I want you though to start of thinking of 'motivation' in a new way. And this way, which is an old fact is that 'success is not a product of motivation'.

Yes, I know I have just said it. Contrary to some popular wishful thinking, success is not a product of motivation. Rather, it is repparttar 122819 other way round. High Motivation Is A Result of Success and low motivation is a result of prior failure.

What this means is that repeated success in a particular activity leads [motivates] one to want to do that activity often. While repeated failure at a particular activity leads [demotiavtes] one to want to avoid that activity.

Now that you understand that success creates motivation, and failure destroys it, what's repparttar 122820 use? Motivation is made up of four elements that are essential to know and apply in your quest for success and abundance. Those elements are: memories, meanings, meta-programs, and metaphors. Let us take a look at each one of them.

Memories The memories you have about your past are influencers on your motivation. If memories of success are many and strong in your life, then it stands to reason that you will be positively inclined, and well motivated. Plentiful memories of failure on repparttar 122821 other hand will predispose you to strong hesitancies. It is important therefore to choose with care repparttar 122822 memories that make up your success package.

Meta-programs Meta-programs are patterns of acting/re-acting which an individual prefers in given situations. They may change across context and time. Two of repparttar 122823 meta-programs you may want to think of are: internal/external: relying on your own opinions versus relying on repparttar 122824 opinions of others. towards/away from: moving towards some desired objective versus moving away from an undesirable situation. The meta-programs identify what motivates an individual and are helpful in defining 'success' and what makes it happen. What this means for you is that you will find it helpful if you know which meta-programs you use to attain success. And use them!

Meanings The meaning an event/experience has for an indvidual will determine how motivated they will/not be to engage in it. Meaning is made up of expectations and criteria. How much you expect something to occur goes hand in hand with what that particular something means to you. If it is something you are not really attached to, it does not matter whether it occurs or not. It is meaningless to you. You attach a particular criterion to something in order for that thing to have a personal meaning to you. Criterion says: "What makes this meaningful to me", while expectation says: "How possible is this for me?". What an event, activity or experience means to you will determine how successful you will want to be in relation to that activity. And, your perceived success will in turn influence how motivated you will be to engage in (similar) activities.

Commit To Applying Lessons Learned

Written by Brian Maloney

When growing up as a child, repparttar

concept of learning a lesson becomes so routine, that many of us just set it aside as unimportant like many other principles that otherwise should be heeded.

It is so true that all of us are mortal. Furthermore, all of us are fallible and no one is absolutely perfect. However, there are some people who would argue this about themselves or someone they know.

My contention is repparttar 122817 people who perpetually make many crucial mistakes in their lives and continue to make repparttar 122818 exact ones again, are not taking repparttar 122819 necessary steps to correct themselves.

Simply put, carelessness, laziness, or mere insecurity in oneself are repparttar 122820 primary reasons lessons due to mistakes are not applied.

Changing ones mindset and attitude towards self progression has significant importance in this area of growth.

Sure, there are many people out there who will almost always be making mistakes in perpetuity, but certainly that shouldn’t mean that you have to be one of them. Taking control of your life is an excellent first step.

Life does not have to be extremely complicated. It is a known fact that when people simplify their lives they are not only more happy, but more productive in any given task because repparttar 122821 mind has less to wonder about.

Listing or ranking things of importance in one’s mind assists in shaving down repparttar 122822 myriad of less important things that always seem to hinder our lives. Moreover, examining mistakes much like a football player watching film repparttar 122823 Monday after a big game and then deciding a better approach will change repparttar 122824 outcome to a positive rather than a negative.

So why is it so hard to apply a learned lesson?

Just learning repparttar 122825 lesson is what many of us do, but that is merely half repparttar 122826 battle. The other aspect is actually setting your mind by consciously programming it to steer away from this mistake. It is like staring at repparttar 122827 problem with a microscope and discovering reasons why you made this choice.
