****THE POWER MOTIVATION****
The fact is, getting motivated is easy. But maintaining enthusiasm, excitement and commitment over the long haul can be difficult, primarily because it doesn’t just happen.
People often use the expression “fired up” "popped up" to describe how they feel after attending an inspiring seminar. It’s a perfect image in so many ways, not the least of which is that, like any fire, you have to keep adding fuel to it, or it will just burn away.
In other words, you have to make a conscious, active effort to stay motivated, and moreover, to transform that motivation into tangible results. No one can do it for you.
Here is my little secret exercise that keeps me stay motivated
CARRY A GOAL CARD!
Do you have a goal card? If not, make one right now. Just grab a small piece of paper,On one side, write down your current goal: the thing you want most at this moment in time, and are in the process of working to achieve. On the other side, write down a quote or phrase that never fails to stir your soul. You could also paste a picture of the thing you’re working towards, or of a person who inspires you — anything that will give you an instant jolt.
Put this card in your wallet and look at it as often as you can. You should pull it out several times a day at a minimum, and no number of times is too many. Once you accomplish it, create a new card.
I’ve been doing this for some few years now, with countless individual goals. As a result, I have never had a day that wasn’t infused with motivation, excitement and a very strong sense of purpose. Do not underestimate the power of this seemingly simple exercise. It is life-changing.
