What are you passionate about? Do you have dreams? Have you set any goals? What's your game plan? Can you visualize yourself reaping the rewards? Do you truly believe you can do it!?!
If you're not clear on the answers to these questions chances are you lack the self-motivation necessary to make things happen in life.
With all that I have going on in my life, without self-motivation God only knows where I would be. One of the lessons I learned early on in my life is that sometimes we have to encourage ourselves. Sometimes we have to be our own cheerleader. We have to tune out the haters and go for it.
Self- Motivation: the will, the push, the unction to press on with little or no encouragement from others.
How self-motivated are you today?
“If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it,
to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it…
if all that you dream and scheme is about it,
and life seems useless and worthless without it…
if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
and lose all your terror of the opposition for it…
if you simply go after that thing you want
with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity,
faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity…
if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout,
sickness nor pain, of body and brain,
can keep you away from the thing that you want…
if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it,
with the help of God, you will get it!”
---Les Brown
