Motivational: Motivation-- the Key is in Your Actions

Motivation-- the Key is in Your Actions

Written by Kate Hufstetler

Have you ever read something like this as a "way to increase motivation"? :

"When you open your eyes get yourself excited to be awake each new day !! Joy is contagious, and so is pessimism! Tell yourself you're happy to be alive!. This might be repparttar day you find love. Great things could come your way. Think positively that something good will happen to you today and 3 our of 4 chances it will."

To this I say BAH HUMBUG ! gibberish !!!! hahaha

Who re-writes this stuff (over and over and over)? Have they ever had depression? faced bankruptcy? been hit by a tornado? .... perhaps...

The truth is-- motivation CAN be generated... but not out of thin air.

To create a life filled with motivation start with 3 small steps:

** Set Goals-- then you have something you love to work for or to work towards.

** Have Hobbies -- something you are learning or are passionate about in your free time... then TAKE TIME to pursue them! You will be amazed how repparttar 123123 thought of returning to a pleasure later in repparttar 123124 evening can help you feel great and desire to get through repparttar 123125 work day ahead!!

** Be in repparttar 123126 Moment -- one of repparttar 123127 things I discovered in my thirties is that there is a BETTER word for boredom--- it is a hidden well kept secret to those under 32. Would you like to know what repparttar 123128 real term for that feeling is? ok-- here goes-- it is PEACE. Enjoy it :-)

How can you expect motivation without: personal goals? If you have a personal short term goal for each week that works towards your monthly and yearly longer term goals-- this will inspire you throughout your week.

Motivation is easier when: you have hobbies you LOVE, enjoy, and pursue. A few side bonuses include: you will be a more pleasant person to be around, have more to talk about with friends and new acquaintances, and feel better about yourself and your day as you look forward to each new opportunity to pursue your passions.

Persuasive Communication Author: Ronnie Nijmeh, ACQYR.com

What makes a great communicator so persuasive? What makes repparttar 123122 best leader motivational? How does one become a great, inspirational leader?

"I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things." --Reagan in his farewell address as president.

Voice Their Dreams A great leader is able to rally their people and give them hope and a sense of ownership. If there is a common goal and a shared vision throughout your team, there is a greater chance that your goal will be attained. This doesn't apply for business leaders only though. What about a group of friends? How about in a school committee meeting? If you're able to identify with your peers and your friends they'll transform into followers and will rally behind you. The key is to voice their dreams and do what you can to make repparttar 123123 dream a reality.

The challenge is that it's hard! It's tough to not be direct and get what you want instantly. But rather than telling others what you want, tell others what they want. Tell them how to achieve your goals by voicing their dreams, hopes, and beliefs. There's no use in telling your people something they don't care about. There's no use in voicing how you feel about a situation if your people feel otherwise. You must identify with them before you're able to persuade.

"If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect." --Benjamin Franklin

When you can identify with your audience (whomever that may be), you build rapport, and you build a level of common understanding that allows your followers to be inspired, motivated, and ready to attain repparttar 123124 unattainable. To achieve success when all was doomed to fail.
