Motivate Yourself!

Welcome Back!

What is motivation? Motivation is a process that accounts for an individual’s

Intensity
Direction, and
Persistence of Efforts

towards attaining a goal, an objective. It is a passion that arises from within and makes you persistently and intensely travel in the right direction till you reach your destination.

To motivate yourself, you need:

Strength of desire for a particular outcome
Strength of belief that you have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience and talent to complete a given task successfully
Strength of belief that you will get the reward you desire when the task is completed.

This model of motivation thus could be represented as:

Strength of desire * Strength of belief in your competence * Guarantee of the reward you desire = Motivation

Mark the multiplication signs. They indicate that the motivation will be zero, if any of the three is zero.

The most vital ingredient in this three step formula is 'strength in belief in your competence'.

To have a strong belief, you will have to move and keep on learning new things.

As a unique entity living in a society, you would have your needs, wants and desires. To satisfy these, you must move.

After all, the word 'motivation' is derived from Latin word 'movere' which literally means to move.

Thought of The Day:

“Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you.“

Failing Forward!

Welcome Back! All of us fail. As we travel on our path to success, we all hit potholes, take wrong turns, or forget to check the radiator. So the real issue is not whether you’re going to fail. It is about whether you’re going to fail successfully (gaining experience and profiting from failure) or allow failure to send you in a permanent detour. “The difference between greatness and mediocrity is often how an individual views his/her own mistakes.“ If you want to continue on the success journey, you need to learn to fail forward! Some people are often so afraid of failure and rejection, that they spend their whole lives avoiding risks or decisions that could lead to failure. They don’t realize that s uccess is based on their ability to fail and continue trying. When you have the right attitude, failure is not fatal. In fact, it is a springboard to success. Successful people instead of dwelling on the negative consequences of failure, think of what might have been and how things have...

Be Proactive!

Welcome Back! George Bernard Shaw classified people in 3 different categories: Those who make things happen Those who observe what happens Those who wondered what happened We are in a century where you cannot afford to observe and wonder. You must make things happen. Those who make things happen are called "proactive". They do not react to whatever is happening around. They are not reactive , they are proactive - they make things happen. When you react, you permit others to react to influence your decisions.

The Magnetic Force of Self-Image!

Welcome Back! How you see yourself in your own eyes determines what you get out of life. Self-image is your own conception of yourself. It is the mental and emotional picture you hold in your own consciousness of who you are and what you represent. Self-image determines your capacity to give, receive and interact with life, experiences and possibilities that come before you. Your self-image is important because it is the starting point of your life experiences. The image you hold of yourself is like a precious vase into which all your life experiences are poured and blended. If your self-image is a small, limited conception of yourself, based on ignorance, fear, doubt and insecurity, then all your experiences will be filtered through these same negative emotions. While, if your self-image is based in knowledge, love, courage, respect, faith and confidence, your life experiences will be filtered through these same positive emotions. Your self-image is like a magnet, attracting or repell...
