How to create rock-solid motivation

There are no short cuts in life. Progress takes time. And when I say time, I mean it will take years before you notice any change. I love the quote, “-The elevator to success is broken, but the stairs are always available.” 

There are so many who have given up too soon, unaware that they were so close to a breakthrough.

Most people are impatient and want short term payoffs. The ones who wait will always be the winners in the long run. People who graduate from college often think that they have a ticket to success. I usually say that that is when the journey starts.

You have to make a brand of yourself, and that takes years. Trust and respect are nothing you can demand; you have to earn it.

Massive action, together with evaluated experiences, is the road to success. It has nothing to do with how smart you are or what background you have.

It is how many hours you are willing to put in. If you love what you do, you won´t consider it as work as it is your passion.

How to overcome distractions?

Still, you can be distracted, and your focus can be elsewhere for a while. We are humans, and that is natural. Nevertheless, the important thing is to get back on track and continue your success and happiness journey.

I am writing this particular blog post right now because I need to walk the talk myself. Practice what I teach if you know what I mean. During the summer holidays, I have to admit that I haven´t written as regularly as before. 

I have to remind myself how much I appreciate to write about happiness and personal success and share my learning. 

Contribution and personal growth are both two essential factors in my life. Progress is also one of the keys to happiness.

Go back to your Why, when you notice that you procrastinate. What results are you seeking? 

 Then revisit your reasons. Reasons come first, action second. “See it in your head, and you can hold it in your hand,” is another great quote. 

Some people argue that actions come first, and reason comes second. It doesn´t matter as long as you are persistent with your efforts. 

Look at your vision board and strengthen your daily affirmations of how the future will look for you. When your mind and emotions align with the image of your future, your thoughts and subconscious mind will take you there.

I really can recommend that you listen to Dr. Joe Dispenza, who talks about how the mind and body interact together. You can manifest anything in your life if you train yourself through meditation so that your mind and heart are coherent with each other.

If you are unfamiliar with meditation, listen to this clip on YouTube, and you´ll get a good start. After a while, you´ll be able to do it by yourself. I promise you; it is going to change your life as long as you continue doing it.

As you see yourself, so you shall become. The most potent force in human psychology is to be consistent with how you see yourself. If you see yourself as an athlete, you will grow into an athlete and do the training that it takes.

You are born with greatness within you.

Les Brown says that you have greatness within you. He often tells the story that the wealthiest place on earth is the cemeteries. So many people have died with the music still in them. 

Imagine that the spirits of the gifts that you could have had were standing around your deathbed. They are standing there and saying to you that only you could have made us come alive. 

What dreams have you postponed? What gifts do you possess that you haven´t explored yet?

Tony Robbins says that “When would now be a good time to start?”

It is never too late to start. I have seen people in their eightieth who regularly ran the marathon, and they began training when they were around fifty. 

It isn’t over until you win. 

If you fall, make sure to land on your back because you can get up if you can look up. When you are committed to succeeding, nothing will stop you.

Set your expectations of yourself as high as you can and believe in your abilities. 

Be hungry for what you want. If you are competitive, think of how many hours others have to put in, knowing how many hours you put into your dream every day.

The best thing, however, is to stop comparing yourself with others. It is your life, and it is your tree that is growing, and how high is it going to grow?

As high as it can!
