Be self motivated.
All your motivation comes from within yourself.
If you do not have the motivation to do something then you will not do what it takes. You will not push yourself when it gets hard. You will quit at the first sign of adversity.
Motivation can be created and generated by you. There must be a reward for your hard work. There must be something good to focus on when its hard and difficult. When you’re depressed and in pain you must go through adversity to reach the heavens.
Plan your life like a book. You don’t have to jump to the end right away just take it one page at a time, one sentence at a time and one word at a time.
If you jump to the end you will miss the whole adventure. You will miss all the ups and downs. You will not get to enjoy the story if your always wanting to know how it ends. The best books are the ones you do not want to end.
You are not only the main character but you are also the author. You get to create the next chapter of your life. Of course you can plan ahead but all you need to be thinking about is what can I do now to lead me to where I want to go next.
Everyday is a new adventure.
When it starts to feel like groundhog day is when it is time to change something.
There is always something new to learn. There is always something I can improve upon. There is always a problem I can solve.
My goal is to be a little bit better everyday, to have more good days than bad and take one step closer to where I want to be.
The goals I set force me to become a better version of myself to achieve them. I cannot achieve any of my goals who I am today.
I must rise to the occasion. I must become more. I must do things I have never done. What got me where I am will not get me to where I want to be tomorrow.
I do not want to remain stationary. I want to grow and progress everyday. I want to reap the rewards of compound growth.
I make plans and I am prepared to be successful. Being better makes those around me better which makes me better.
I am gaining confidence and losing doubt. I faith and believe in my potential to be the very best version of myself I can be.
Sometimes deciding what you want to do can be harder than doing it. There are an infinite number of destinations you can end up. Making goals will increase the probability you will end up. going where you want to go.
When you make up your mind your mind will search for solutions and answers. There is a thing called confirmation bias. This means the mind will do everything it can to make you right.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right
Henry Ford
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
Muhammad Ali
It all starts with yourself. You have to believe or have someone in your life that puts that belief in you.
Unless you have this ultimate belief then you will never take the action to reach the goals that scare you.
There is a push/pull, give/take a coach must employ to be effective. To do this,
The two things a coach needs to balance is:
1. Force
2. Empathy
Coaching is about getting all the potential you can out of someone. It is about the player reaching new levels they never thought was possible.
To coach and influence you yourself must have full belief that what you are asking/telling someone to do is doable. When someone has this unshakeable belief then FORCE is applied. This force can be in the form of practice or action that needs to be taken to get the desired result.
In the moment there are times to push it and times to rest. There are times to double down and there are times to change it up. There are times of strong confidence and there are times of doubt. Everyone has their strength’s and weakness’s. A good coach uses EMPATHY to know what tool to use and when.
Having a coach can be a faster way to reach your goals. Someone who has traveled the path you are trying to go down.
Without a sense of urgency then I will waste time. If I have a back up plan, if I get comfortable, if I am timid, if I get complacent, if I am fearful then I will waste time and not perform the best I can.
I must be totally focused and committed to getting the outcome I want. I must fully believe in myself. I must see the potential and take enormous action. I only have one short life and I must not waste any time. Now is the only time. I am fully present.
The magic of keeping a journal is the ability to go back in the past. You get to remember where you were came from. You get to check your thoughts from 3, 5, 10 and 20 years later. I look back at things I’ve written and am surprised about great they are or how wrong I was. I see how I’ve accomplished goals and still working on others.
It reminds me that I keep growing and I stay the same. It reminds me to be grateful during good times and resilient during rough times. It reminds me that there is always something to learn
Journaling brings more awareness to situations when I read about them later. It brings me back to where I was in life and I can look at it where I am now. I gain new perspective and to push through any doubts or fears.
I have goals so intimidating that I keep them far away from the present. I do not think I can accomplish them as the person I am today. These goals are so huge that they are impossible to complete.
I do not have the skills and knowledge.
My someday goals seem like a outlandish dream that is not meant for me to achieve in this world.
These goals are the carrot dangling in front of the horse. No matter how hard I try they will be just out of my reach.
Do you monitor the words you say and how you say them?
If you are not excited and intimidated by your goals then your goals are not big enough. Your goals need to excite you so much that you jump out of bed eager to accomplish them. Your goals should make you become a better version of yourself for you to accomplish them. You have to transcend from who you are to who you want to be. Picture yourself as the person you want to be. What does it feel like? Where are you at?
