The 7 Keys to Lasting Motivation
By Darryl Rodgers
|
True motivation has to come from within. While it is true that people can be temporarily motivated through fear or reward, these types of motivation are temporary. You have seen it before. People attend a big event where they hear one motivational speaker after another. They come out of the event pumped up and ready to take on the world, but their new-found motivation is usually gone within a day or two at most as reality sets in. So how can we achieve lasting motivation to get us through the tough times and spur us on to daily performance and lasting success? Here are a few suggestions.
1 Discover your passion. What is it that gets you excited? What is your hot button? What can you talk about without coming up for air? Sometimes the things that make you angry or sad could be a clue. Maybe you should seek employment or start a business in a field that allows you to pursue your passion.
2 Discover your talents. What are you good at? What comes easy for you? Don't take your talents lightly. Everyone has something they do well that others could not even fathom doing.
3 Find work where your passions and talents intersect.
4 Discover your purpose. What were you put here for? You must search for that transcendent cause; a cause that is timeless. How can you use your passion and talents to help others?
5 Write down your goals, put a deadline on them, and review them weekly.
6 Find people to work with who are self-motivated and who are passionate and talented at the work you need them to do. You can not motivate others with a lasting motivation. You can have some influence on them, but you can not make them do what you want. Find people who are a good fit for the task you need done.
7 Recharge your batteries on a daily basis by reading positive mental attitude type books, and from listening to motivational tapes in your car. Attending a motivational event once in awhile is a good idea too as long as you understand that this is a temporary form of motivation. The best reason for attending an event of this nature is to garner one or two simple ideas that may change the way you think.
