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.
Risk and reward are linked. How much you risk is proportional to how much you will be rewarded. If you want to take small risks then you will have to take many of them. Otherwise you can take one giant risk. When it comes down to taking one giant risk and putting all your eggs in one basket you better make sure its the right basket. There is no one right or one wrong way. There are many ways to lose and win. When it comes to investing Warren Buffet has proved that taking giant positions on wonderful companies pays off a handsome reward.
Ted Williams is one of the greatest hitter to play baseball because he knew what pitches to swing at and which ones to let go. He knew his probability to hit a baseball depending on where the ball was when it crossed the plate. He knew his sweet spot and his cold zones. This is how you should approach every decision you make.
Know where you are most likely to succeed and where you are most likely to fail. Take the most swings in your sweet spot. Minimize your risk of failure by knowing yourself and knowing your strengths and weaknesses.
You have to be able to withstand the suffering for the reward. There will be pain. There will be struggling. There will be hard times.
The pain is growth. The pain is the reward. You earned the pain. Keep your eye on the prize. Know that everything will be worth it in the end. The pain is temporary and victory is forever. The harder you work and the more pain you can withstand the more it will pay off. If you want something you must give something.
How confident are you?
Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?
If you believe something then how much do you believe in it?
We must be willing to risk it all to gain it all. If you give everything you have then you will gain everything you want.
Hold yourself accountable or find a friend to hold you accountable. There is always consequences for your actions. You must reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. What happens if you do not do what you say you will? What happens if you do?
Why are home cooked meals better than restaurants?
Why is a home made gift better than a bought one?
People will prefer things with imperfections if they know where they come from. If you buy a birthday card it will come with a beautiful message in it. If you buy a blank card and write your own message it may not be as well written but it will be more beautiful because it came from you.
If you do things the right way and do not cut corners the reward will be greater. You will have peace and comfort that you did things right.
Have you accomplished something big or small recently? Many times we accomplish things and forget to celebrate or reward ourselves.
Why would anyone want to do something for you including yourself if you do not show gratitude?
Take a moment after you complete something to acknowledge yourself and tell yourself how grateful you are.
When is the last time you were in an uncomfortable situation? Did you put yourself there or were you forced into it?
You will be forced into these situations no matter what and to be ready for these situations you must constantly put yourself in these situations. When you stretch your comfort zone you are comfortable with a zone that used to be your edge.
There are massive rewards for growing. No longer are you scared of what you once were. You will have more confidence in your abilities. You will be able to gain more leverage and influence.
The pain of not growing leads to massive pain as well. You will always doubt yourself. You will not have new experiences. You will actually begin to go backwards or down because you are not growing.
The contrast between the pain and pleasure of taking action should be enough motivation for you to go out there and reach your goals.
Whatever you do in life there will be struggles. Many things do not come easy.
You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
Jim Carrey
Times will be rough but if you are doing something you love the passion will pull you through it.
The rewards will be greater and life will be more meaningful.
