Monday Motivation

If we stop learning, we stop growing. In order to truly grow as an individual, we must constantly stretch beyond our comfort zone. Just doing the same, mundane things everyday is the definition of being in a rut. Get out of whatever rut you may be in by setting new challenges for yourself everyday! Start by asking yourself better questions. Instead of “Why me?” and “Why now?” ask “Why not me?” and “Why not now?”

When you’re traveling, you need a map to get to places you have never been. In life, goal setting is the map we need to help us get to our destination of success. But to really be effective it must be in map form. In other words, written down! A common denominator of successful people is not just having goals, but committing them to writing, because they know written goals dramatically increases their chances for success.

Motivation and attitude are only part of the winning picture. Proper direction is equally important. Otherwise, you are very motivated as you head down the wrong track. Your goals are your compass in life. Make sure they constantly point you in the right direction.

Focus! One of the secrets to a successful life! Unless we focus on the particular goals we want to attain, they become just wishes and nearly impossible to reach. A magnifying glass does nothing if you wave it around, but it can burn through objects on which it is focused. Successful people may be able to do several things well, but it’s their focus in one or two areas that allows them to excel.

“Should” is the enemy of “must”. As long as we are thinking we “should” do this, or we “should” do that, we feel we are at least doing something. If you want to be successful, don’t talk or think in terms of what you “should” do, talk and think in terms of what you “must” do!

Most everyone will tell you their future is more important than any two week vacation. However, everyone I know goes on vacation with a plan, road maps, and a carefully thought out destination.

Unfortunately, many of these same people will go through the rest of their lives without any of these things! If you don’t have a plan for success, you already have a plan for failure! Make your plan for a positive future now!

Welcome to the first posting of the Monday Motivator! I will have a new motivational thought here every Monday morning to get you through the week. If you ran into a detour while on vacation, would you turn around and go home, or would you make adjustments to get to where you wanted to go?

Well it’s the same with our goals and dreams. We have to make constant adjustments to get us to our destination. The achievement of any important goal is the product of many adjustments along the way.

Don’t view these adjustments as setbacks, but as opportunities to fine tune the path to your destination.
