Here's a column that I guarantee will make you more more
successful in both your professional and personal lives.
Here are 14 quick strategies to get and keep yourself
motivated:
1. Condition your mind. Train yourself to think positive
thoughts while avoiding negative thoughts.
2. Condition your body. It takes physical energy to take
action. Get your food and exercise
budget in place and follow it like a business plan.
3. Avoid negative people. They drain your energy and waste
your time, so hanging with them is like shooting yourself in the foot.
4. Seek out the similarly motivated. Their positive energy
will rub off on you and you can imitate their success strategies.
5. Have goals–but remain flexible. No plan should be cast in
concrete, lest it become more important than achieving the goal.
6. Act with a higher purpose. Any activity or action that doesn’t serve
your higher goal is wasted effort--and should be avoided.
7. Take responsibility for your own results. If you blame
(or credit) luck, fate or divine intervention, you’ll always have an excuse.
8. Stretch past your limits on a daily basis. Walking the
old, familiar paths is how you grow old. Stretching makes you grow and evolve.
9. Don't wait for perfection; do it now! Perfectionists are
the losers in the game of life. Strive
for excellence rather than the unachievable.
10. Celebrate your failures. Your most important lessons in
life will come from what you don't achieve. Take time to understand where you
fell short.
11. Don’t take success too seriously. Success can breed
tomorrow's failure if you use it as an excuse to become complacent.
12. Avoid weak goals.
Goals are the soul of achievement, so never begin them with "I'll
try ..." Always start with "I
will" or "I must."
13. Treat inaction as the only real failure. If you don’t take action, you fail by default
and can't even learn from the experience.
14. Think before you speak.
Keep silent rather than express something that doesn’t serve your
purpose.
