If you’re struggling with motivation, sometimes it’s because we lose track of the end point. Focus is a brilliant part of keeping energised.
Think about the sun. When it is shining broadly, it graces everything with a warm glow. But when you shine it through a magnifying glass, suddenly the intensity has the power to burn. Focus…is ENERGISING.
So to help you keep your focus and not be side tracked by the obstacles life throws at us to test our vision, a great question my friend always poses to me when I want to start complaining about something is, “How would it be if…” This then places whatever my issue is in that moment into the positive of the issue being solved and I can work my way backwards because I have the hope of the issue being able to be resolved. Immediately the issue loses it’s debilitating power because suddenly possibilities open up.
I think Dr Jim Rohn said it like this, “Why not you? Why not now? Why do good things have to happen to other people?” I love this quote as it DEEPLY impacted me at a time when I had little hope for the future. Why can’t it be us who get what we want in life?
If you can imagine yourself in the freedom that comes from a resolved issue and imagine how you would be feeling and acting in that state, it can be quite invigorating and motivating.
In 2002 I went through an horrendous season in my life following the birth of my son.
This article, Out of the Blues, was featured in Pearls Women’s Magazine published in 2007 in Perth, Western Australia. It is my story of how I overcame post natal depression.
I saw this video and it really impacted me again about how important it is that we appreciate and enjoy every second that we have on this planet. That we willingly and with full heart passionately pursue that which is in our hearts – our dreams and our visions.
There is an old saying and I know it to be true, how sad it is that a musician should go to the grave with a song left unsung within them and a tune left unplayed.
I encourage all of you to look inside and find your passion, connect with it, breathe it, dream it, live it and see how different life becomes for you. See the sparkle of joy enter your world!
Do you think it's true that you need to bombard people with value before introducing products? Or is this too strategic? http://twitter.com/womencan18 hours ago
