The destination could mean anything.

Who knew...the "destination" is simply where you want to be! 

Did you realize that where you want to be has no direct impact on where you will be?  The end result only changes if your actions change.  Just because you "want" something does not entitle you to it and by no means is it any kind of guarantee.  Don't over-complicate your goal.  If you want to get somewhere,  go chace it...in fact, go catch it...then keep going!  Wherever you want to be...you can.

Go get it!

NOW is the time to be honest - Positive motivation 4 today, Changes 4 tomorrow

NOW is the time to be honest!

Thought 4 today - Dont agree just to agree...agree because it is truly the way you feel.  Being honest with yourself means you're not just being a drone but it also means you are standing up for what you really feel.  There is likely no more important time than NOW to change if it is an area of opportunity likewise, it is so important to stand tall.

Motivation and Positive Thinking

The attitude of a person plays an important role behind his success or failure. From a research standpoint, it has been observed that people who practice positive thinking are more successful and happier than the others. When motivation is combined with positive thinking, you will be able to identify the secrets behind wealth and happiness. The human mind is responsible for whatever we do and all out activities originate from it. Therefore it is essential for a person to practice motivation and positive thinking in his or her mind to be successful in whatever they do.

Some people do not believe in positive thinking. They think that they do not have enough education or money in order to be successful in their life. You don’t need to be well educated or rich to practice positive thinking and reap all the benefits of it. Positive thinking is completely under your control and if you have the dedication, you can engage in it without any hesitation. The motivation can be divided into two categories as the motivation to do the things that we want to do and the motivation to do the things that we have to do. If you need to do something, then you will automatically get the motivation and you will tend to do it. Sometimes you will have to find motivation in order to do something in your job or life. In that kind of a situation, you will need to gain motivation and engage in it with an effective way.

If you get a negative feeling that you cannot do something, you will never be able to do it. If you think positively, you will try to do it and end up with some positive results. Many people do not try to do anything and they just accept or reject the things that come up. You will have to decide what you want and get a positive feeling that you can do it. Then you will have to think why you need to get it. This process can be defined as motivation. You must think about all your reasons to engage in that particular task. It will give you the mental strength to start doing that. Finally you have to use motivation and positive thinking together to perform the task. You can even seek the assistance of visualization techniques and positive affirmations to reach your goal with less hassle.

The results of motivation and positive thinking have been proven in every corner of the world. Almost all successful individuals in this world have practiced these things to gain their success. Motivation and positive thinking do not have the ability to bring any harmful effects to you. Therefore start practicing them from today onwards and reach your success with less hassle.

Do you accept the challenge? Could you be more honest with yourself? Demand Success!

Do you accept the challenge?

Quick and easy post today - it's a personal challenge.  Are you up for it?  I challenge you to admit something to yourself - something honest.  Whether it's admitting you could save more money if you wanted, that you should stop texting while you drive, or that you secretly want something bad to happen to someone - think about it for a second.  Now that you've thought about it, think about what YOU can do to change that to a better thought or action.
Example to think about:
1) Ways you could save more money
2) A better time you should be sending that text message
3) Why you want something bad to happen to that person

To become a better person you need to get that stuff out of your mind and the only way to do that is to admit it and defeat it!  Use your positive thinking and honesty to overcome the selfishness!  Now come up with a timeline for yourself and get to work - let's say that you
1) Admit you could save more money
2) Think of ways you could save more money
3) Create a small goal of $10 a week for 4 weeks to save

Once you've done that...you know it's possible and the rest is just repetition!

Simple but effective - good luck today!

Execute what you already know

This week the FFT is more or less a piggy back on the theory focusing on execution.  Too often we have a great plan only lacking the discipline or perhaps the memory to follow through.  Sometimes we are asked to define our expectations of ourselves with a proposal like a business plan or similar.  Maybe we write pages and pages of notes developing strengths and weaknesses of ourselves and teams only to never look at it again.  Perhaps we need to read a book or attend a training class to get better?  Actually, this is a reminder that you don’t. You don’t.  You don’t.  What you need is to properly execute on the tools and skills you already have!  Imagine if you executed all the training and note-taking you’ve done over the years?  While executing your training takes time and effort, you can’t settle for mediocrity therefore, take this piece and ask yourself “am I doing everything I can to get better?”  If your answer is no…work on how you execute – THEN DO IT!

How to Be Self Motivated

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Being Self-motivated means driven, focused, ready for objective discussion, also being sharp and smart enough not to be manipulated and be open to positive learning. Being in this state of mind always, is the challenge. To help be motivated, try taping your exercises on your wall, keeping your calories on paper is good. If you do this you will be motivated to lose weight, because you will have constant reminders.

Steps

1. Understand, "self motivated" is a state of mind which we should earnestly try to be in as often as we can. The first step to understand is that this state of mind is possible, but it is generally very elusive or comes for a short span of time, encouraged by short term commitment or by a dream fulfillment process.
2. Remember that what you think is unique in your life or situation is very unique. Other people wish that they could do what you do. There are only two types of people - those who succumb to a situation, and those who overcome successfully.
3. Try to think about good things around you . Change your overall mood and then start taking small significant decisions - look for getting more facts for accurate assessment of the situation.
4. Get into positive spiral. One positive step leading to the next.
5. Remember that being self-motivated is your challenge. Do not expect any external positive contribution. If you get that, you are lucky. Looking inside on your strengths is the KEY.

Tips

• The objective is to unleash your true potential.
• The journey of unleashing your potential is truly a worthy one. During this journey, knowingly/unknowingly you will have helped many unleash their respective potential.
• There will be hurdles, but you have got to keep going. One wrong step can wash out all the good steps you have taken and similarly one right step can also leap you forward. This is Life.
• Positive affirmations repeated often will help you become strong. Choose one that fits with your problem. If you are scared, "I am safe". If you are shy "I am a very confident person". Avoid using negative words such as "no fear" in your affirmations. That would just make you more fearful.
• Speak them as though you are already the way you want to be. Do not say "I am becoming positive", "I am positive" is much better.

Warnings

• Be soft to yourself.
• Being self motivated does not mean forcefully smiling and trying to please everyone.
• Have courage to confront hurdles if you really think you are right.
• Do not beat yourself up if you suffer a lapse in your new-found pattern of self-motivation. You will get back on track. Be self-forgiving.

You can. Motivate, believe and produce personal results - passion! Positive thinking plus commitment and YOU CAN DO IT!

 You can.

The biggest obstacle standing between you and anything you want is your lack of belief that you can have it. Once you truly believe it is possible, once you can see yourself doing it or being it or having it, the rest is just details - literally. With belief, plus the commitment to follow through and do whatever it takes, anything can be yours.  Everything you need to get there is available to you, when you believe and when you commit to getting there. Know that you can do it. Nothing can hold you back once you have belief and commitment. You will find a way. 

You can. 

Do it.
 

Pleasure is a matter of conditioning. A teenager smoking her first cigarette doesn't enjoy it at all. She's almost certainly doing it to "fit in" and it probably even makes her a little sick. After a while though, she likes it so much she finds it hard to quit.
 

The strategy for achieving your success: Choose the pleasures that move you toward your goals.  For example, there is just as much potential for pleasure in jogging 2 miles as there is in eating a bag of potato chips. The person who is trying to get in top physical shape would be well advised to find his pleasure in the jogging rather than the chips. Just like everything else in your world, your pleasures are under your control. Use them to your advantage.
What is it that you truly want to do? You can do it. Realize that you are as capable as any person. See yourself doing it. Touch it. Hear it. Taste it. Walk inside of it. Drive around in it. Believe in it and believe that it is yours.

Don't get down - Learn from it.

Do you ever feel down?

When was the last time you felt sad, depressed, frustrated, angry, upset, disappointed or annoyed?  You are not alone - and that's okay!  What matters is the outcome - the way you respond to the situation or event.  

Have you ever seen a child sitting at a table eating when something gets knocked off their plate and onto the floor?  Most kids get upset...why?  That's the normal emotion that comes out when you haven't been taught or haven't learned how to control all that energy.   Imagine if you could harness that energy during every growth opportunity?  Don't throw a fit...you are old enough to know better!  Now...be smart enough to learn
