Getting Motivated

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer”. – Albert Camus

How do we get up from failing when everything seems to be pulling us towards that direction? How do we succeed when all that we do fall short of success? The answer to this is to CRY - cry our hearts out because we botched. We should let ourselves feel the pain of our collapse. Denying it would only worsen our conditions. But afterwards, after shedding all the tears in the world and after experiencing all the hurt there is, we should GET UP, TAKE HOLD OF OUR SELVES, SMILE and GET MOVING.
At some point in our lives, we will go through winter. We will discover that no matter what we do, there will always be things that would seem to be out of our grasps. We will realize that the world is not always just. We may struggle with trying to achieve our goal and yet fail to do so. But does this mean that we should give up and develop learned helplessness? No, not really. In fact, it means the opposite.
It is essential for us to recognize that if we have positive thinking and hope within, standing up and getting out of our unwanted situation is always possible. When we perceive things more optimistically, we gain insight into what may have gone wrong with our previous actions and from this, learn. The lessons that we get will in turn motivate us to not commit the same mistakes when we venture into the world once more. This is actually our strength. The ability to have positive thoughts is the invincible summer that stirs from the deep within our hearts.
This is what Albert Camus is telling us and this is the same thing that we should be telling ourselves.

HOW STRONG IS YOUR DESIRE FOR SUCCESS?

The last line in this daily guru is awesome:

"It's so hard when you have to,
and so easy when you want to."


When work becomes the thing you want to do then it's not work anymore, it's almost like play time. Sure there are things we all have to do that we don't want to. But if we can look at those unwanted tasks as steps that lead towards our dreams then odds are you are going to want to do those tasks. There are so many things I do each week I hate, but I know that without those things being completed then my goals are that much farther away, so I do them. Sure sometimes it feels like work, but for the most part I get a great feeling of accomplishment in knowing I've brought myself that much closer to where I want to be. I'm biggest joy comes when I find ways to automate those tasks. My biggest moments come when I can find ways to turn my unwanted tasks into automated processes that don't require my involvement, that is when I know I'm even closer to my goal and I've freed up more of my time to complete more tasks that bring me even closer.




HOW STRONG IS YOUR DESIRE FOR SUCCESS?


You accomplish things by directing your desires,
not by ignoring them.

You're always motivated to the degree that the
decisions you make are your decisions.
To be honest with yourself, to sincerely know
what you really want, is the key to your motivation.

You're always in a position to decide.
You can decide to do something or
you can decide to do nothing.
The choice will always be yours.

It's so hard when you have to,
and so easy when you want to.

DESIRE IS THE FIRE OF LIFE?

The desire to win .... I'm reading the Michael Jordan driven book and man oh man it's the best book I've read and it just makes you look at yourself and think about your inner drive. The desire and drive in Jordan is the greatest of any person and from that the results have been shown time and time again. The lessons I'm taking from this book are awesome in size, he is showing me that if you have a goal then you need to dedicate yourself to that goal and do everything in your power to make it come true. You have to work as hard as you can, focus as hard as you can and just keep moving forward. Treat each moment as it's the moment that reaches the goal. And that is true because each step from the first the last are all equally important, so ever day you wake up is the day you need to win. When I wake up each day I say "Today is going to be a great day" and those word given the enlightenment to make it a great day and take those steps closer to my dreams. How is you day going to be today?




DESIRE IS THE FIRE OF LIFE?


The key that insures your success
in any endeavor is desire.

If you are willing to pay the price,
even your circumstances will change.
If you want something badly enough
you are sure to get it.

Reality forms around the commitments you make.
Your desires will in time externalize themselves
into concrete facts.

Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there.
But if you want something bad enough,
you'll find a way to get it done.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.

ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT REQUIRES TIME

Think about today's guru and how ever trip is done through taking steps. If you want to loose weight or get in shape you have to make a workout plan and do that plan over time. You can't go to the gym one time and get the results you want, you need to keep going day after day, week after week and month after month, before those results you desire can be achieved. People would always read these types of emails and say if it's that easy then why isn't everybody living their dreams ... how many times have you been to the gym this week, month, or even year? Sure the concept of reaching your goals is a simple one, but when you put it all in the perceptive it's easy to see why only a few people reach their goals.




ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT REQUIRES TIME


To achieve maximum success accept that progress
is made one step at a time.

Every big accomplishment is a series
of little accomplishments.

A building is built one brick at a time.
Foot ball games are won one play at a time.

Success is always the sum of small efforts,
repeated day in and day out.

No great thing is created suddenly
any more then a bunch of grapes
or an orange miraculously appears.

If you want an orange, you must give it time.
There must be time for it to blossom, bear fruit,
then ripen.

That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grow slowly, endures.

You walk over the highest mountain
one step at a time.
