Motivation

Has life ever knocked you down? Probably YES, are you still lying down and waiting for help, and are you trying to get sympathy as to how badly you are knocked down? Are you trying to find ways to blame someone? You need to understand the power of motivation. If your answer is NO, well the good news is that life will knock you down soon, and the question is not whether it will happen, but the question ARE you ready to get up again when life will knock you flat on your face?

When it comes to motivation, Life is like a roller coaster; sometimes it will be up and sometimes down. During the up times, we keep everything in our bank; during down times, we keep everything in our heart. Negatives are more powerful than positives, and our brain responds to negatives more quickly than a positive thing that happens in our life.

The biggest manufacturing unit lies not in a factory but right at the top of a human body, and that’s our brain. You have to utilize this tool to unlock your self motivation. You give it one negative thought and the brain will start manufacturing literally hundreds and thousands of reasons to support that. BEWARE of what you think because it’s the same with one positive thought. The more we think negatively, the more our brain starts supporting it, and slowly the once strong-hearted person slides into a person filled with depression, this is a really bad approach when it comes down to motivation.

Solutions

Be careful in what you think, for example, when you get up from bed early morning, if you say the weather is bad, trust me your entire day will go bad. Have you ever realized how many of your days have gone bad just like that? Get up every morning with a Big Smile and say what a wonderful day, and you have an opportunity to change your life and others’ lives, and you will see the difference.

Have you ever come across some good motivational books? Have you taken out time to even read the good books that are lying on your shelf eating dust. If you have the time to watch television, read a newspaper, and surf the net, than you definitely have time to read a positive book for at least 15 minutes a day. This is time investing in yourself; if not, then what are you investing your time in?

Spend time with your family because these are the people who will be there to support you. Love them, respect them, and share your problems with them. Choose your friends right. Don’t hang around with losers. Friends are something that you can either grow up with or go down with; the choice is yours.

Set your goals, your targets, don’t leave it for tomorrow. Stay motivated in whatever you do and try to be the motivation for others. It doesn’t take much, just a pat on the back and say ‘you can do it.’ It will do a world of good for someone because not many people do that.

Pray and ask God for the guidance because He knows. God has time for us in every breath we take, but we have time for HIM only on Sundays.

Last but not least, remember the universal language “Smile.” in every culture in every corner of this planet, it’s the same. You reap what you sow, you get what you give. Smile and you will get a smile back. Follow these simple steps and no matter how hard life knocks you down, you will have the power to get up every time and all the time.
