We all need motivation. I think of it as the key necessary to get the car started. Without it, you are not going anywhere. However, once you get motivated, you need to feed that motivation with results.
Otherwise, you will end up slowing your progress. Eventually, that progress will stop altogether, and you might even start moving backwards.
The idea is to keep yourself motivated through the progress you make. Another way to remain motivated is through mentors and mentoring.
When I work with my mentors, I get inspired and motivated to tackle challenges in my life and find the solutions. Once I find a solution, I get excited to find others. They keep me on my toes, because they continue to show me new ways of thinking that inspire me to learn and grow.
Not only is it important to work with mentors, you learn when you teach. Mentoring others gives you a chance to reinforce in your own mind the ways that you want to think and act. For instance, when I am working with my clients, I constantly demonstrate for them the way of thinking and acting that they need to adopt. It also reinforces for me how important that way of thinking is to all the aspects of my life.
Taking action involves work, but once you get started, then you will be amazed at how much better you feel. Your world will start to change because you have changed your way of thinking.
Do not be afraid to take the first steps to create change by shifting your thinking and perceptions. Once you make that shift, then you are going to find it easier to build a network, change your habits, and start on the path of growth and finding solutions. My professional life benefited when I stop making excuses or finding others to blame. The lessons I learned carried into my business and assisted me in avoiding critical mistakes in my processes and procedures.
No matter where you are in terms of your personal or professional life, do not assume that it is too late to take risks or that you cannot change. You have the power to create the life that you want, and it starts by changing your thinking, from searching for problems to being solution oriented. I want to work with you and share with you more of my journey to find the solutions for your challenges.
