To stay motivated to achieve anything you have to know what you want, and why …
If you don’t have a clear plan and know your “why”, you’ll lose focus on your goals, or never get started to begin with.
Your “why” is the reason behind why you’re doing what you’re doing.
A person who says “I’m going to start a business to make more money” isn’t likely to get there. Yet, the person who says “I’m going to start a business to make more money in order to get a bigger home with more room for my family” is likely to do just that. The differentiator here is that the person in the second example is doing the thing for a deeper reason.
Practical Steps for staying motivated to reach your goal
1. Keep your goal plan in plain sight. What we think about gets done. Life gets busy. Any number of things popup and vie for our attention. So, if you want your own plans to have a chance, you’ve got to schedule time to work on them.
Placing important tasks on your calendar is an easy way to ensure what needs doing gets done.
2. Understand that your focus can become altered as you move through life. You must take time to reconnect with your “why.”
When I started LIFE COACHING I had a very clear and simple mission statement. It was “to motivate and inspire others around the world by sharing personal development resources.”
And one thing more I would like to suggest that with an example like If you were to cook 3 cups of rice, would you add 3 cups of salt to it ?
Certainly not !
So, in every preparation of rice, the rice always outnumbers the salt, yet a little salt makes a huge difference /impact in the overall outcome.
In the room in which you currently are, look up at the ceiling…
What is the size of the bulb compared to the size of the room ?
It is probably a ratio of 1:5000.
Yet, darkness flees the entire space once the small bulb is flipped on.
If I am the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, then “little me” has the ability to make big things happen..
Sometimes, because we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of evil or wrong-doers, we then choose powerlessness, and decide to go with the flow, not standing up for what we believe is right.
Little doesn’t mean insignificant.
You are significant.
Your presence should make a BIG difference.
Stop waiting to be on the side of the majority.
They may be the majority, but they are the trivial majority, and you are the impactful minority.
They are the rice of the world, and you are the salt of the world..
They are the room and you are the light.
Make your influence felt!
Remember:
You are the world’s seasoning, to make it beautiful…
So if we can just do the right seasoning to make even one life beautiful our life is worth living
Onwards and Upwards !
Be the salt or the light
