Motivation

Do you have something which you have been putting off for ages?

Consider the following - I offered you a £1m – all you have to do is arrive at a certain destination 3 hours away to collect it in person – what would you do to get it? You have to collect it yourself and if you are even one second late the deal if off. What time would you set off to collect it? Right now? Yes most would.

What if you encountered terrible traffic jams, all the roads are shut for 24 hours? What then? Would you turn round and hire a helicopter? How much effort would you put into getting to that destination and collecting the £1m?

Contrast the effort of the above with an appointment with your doctor, dentist or even a colleague and you get stuck in the same kind of terrible traffic what do you do? Turn around and re-schedule?

What is the motivation that drives us to do ANYTHING to get our goals? It is the purpose, the why. If the purpose/why is strong enough we will find a how.  If we know the result we will find a how to get it.

A compelling WHY will be linked to our personal objectives, our beliefs, our purpose in life. These act as a support mechanism to propel you towards your goals. Align your goals with your beliefs and you will achieve them.  Motivated people align their goals and their beliefs and so do anything to get them.

Look at your goals and find out whether they lined up with someone else’s beliefs and if so change them so you are motivated towards your own goals and beliefs.
