Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
First
and
foremost,
I
am
not
Mr.T
J
I
just
thought
that
he
would
look
kick
ass
on
the
front
cover
of
this
eBook
and
I
believe
he
is
the
epitome
of
someone
who
represents
the
“No
BS,
No
Excuses”
mindset
when
it
comes
to
achieving
an
outcome.
Now
a
lot
of
you
may
know
me
as
the
CEO
&
Founder
of
The
#1
Self
Development
&
Motivational
website
Addicted2Success.com.
But
for
the
most
part
I
am
someone
who
has
a
burning
desire
to
inspire
and
empower
others
to
achieve
greatness
in
their
life.
I
know
that
when
I
made
the
decision
a
little
over
6
years
ago
to
study
the
art
of
success
through
mentors,
books
and
workshops,
my
life
transformed
into
this
incredible
and
positive
journey
into
a
world
I
never
could
have
imagined.
I
now
live
life
on
my
own
terms
and
have
been
able
to
help
others
to
become
financially
free
along
the
way.
My
passion
is
showing
others
the
keys
to
success
and
how
they,
too,
can
live
a
life
with
more
achievements
and
smiles
along
the
way.
One
of
the
biggest
struggles
that
I
faced
throughout
the
years
was
finding
a
way
to
stay
motivated.
Only
through
years
of
practice,
research
and
hustle
was
I
able
to
find
a
number
of
great
techniques
and
mind
shifts
that
allowed
me
to
soldier
on.
So
we
are
about
to
get
into
the
50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated,
and
I
am
excited
to
share
my
discoveries
with
you
all.

3. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
1.
Start
with
a
solid
plan
-­‐
What
is
your
ultimate
goal?
Know
what
it
is
and
put
it
down
on
paper.
2.
Don’t
be
afraid
to
make
mistakes
–
Anyone
that
has
ever
achieved
greatness,
experienced
failure
at
some
point
in
their
life.
You
have
to
know
that
failing
is
all
part
of
success.
3.
There’s
strength
in
numbers
–
Learn
to
utilize
your
team
or
those
who
are
in
your
network.
You
can’t
always
walk
it
alone.
While
they
are
helping
you
with
what
they
are
good
at
you
can
focus
on
being
more
effective
in
your
own
lane.
4.
Set
vivid
goals
-­‐
Work
out
“What”
you
need
to
do
and
by
“When”
you
need
it
accomplished
by.
Keep
your
eyes
on
the
prize
baby.
5.
Learn
to
work
the
tools
–
Your
mind,
the
computer,
a
phone,
word
of
mouth
or
text.
Learn
how
to
use
each
platform
and
medium
around
you.
The
more
tools
you
know
how
to
use,
the
more
ammunition
for
the
challenge.
6.
Go
back
to
the
basics
–
KISS
(Keep
It
Stupidly
Simple).
Sometimes
there
is
no
need
to
overcomplicate
things,
slim
line
your
approach,
sometimes
the
answer
to
your
success
is
staring
you
right
in
the
eyes.
7.
You
aren’t
here
to
people
please
–
Know
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it’s
how
you
feel
when
the
job
is
done
and
dusted.
No
one
will
feel
the
achievement
quite
like
you
will
when
you
pull
through.
8.
Look
for
a
solution
–
When
you
hit
a
road
block,
keep
moving,
don’t
lose
momentum,
shift
the
energy
from
panicking
to
exploring,
there
is
always
a
million
and
one
ways
to
make
it
work.
9.
Fail
more
–
Marketing
Genius
“Seth
Godin”
said
it
best,
“The
more
you
fail,
the
more
you
win”.
Keep
failing,
the
gold
is
at
the
end
of
the
rainbow,
don’t
lose
hope.
10.
Change
will
make
you
stronger
–
You
can’t
grow
or
learn
without
change,
something
has
to
change
for
you
to
reach
the
next
level.
11.
Create
your
own
path
–
Break
the
rules
a
little;
create
an
environment
where
you
are
KING.
Where
you
have
more
room
to
move,
and
anything
goes
so
that
it
works
in
your
favor.
12.
Reflect
and
then
adjust
–
Look
back
and
see
how
far
you
have
come.
There
is
no
use
in
stopping
now,
you
already
committed.

4. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
13.
Make
sure
it’s
exciting
–
If
you
are
pursuing
something
that
is
just
plain
old
“boring
the
pants
off
you”
then
you
will
have
no
enthusiasm
to
see
it
through.
14.
Identify
your
bad
habits
–
Be
familiar
with
the
habits
that
are
slowing
you
down,
if
you
aren’t
excelling
then
there’s
an
underlying
bad
habit
in
play.
Nip
it
in
the
bud
ASAP.
15.
Pace
and
then
explode!
–
You
don’t
want
to
burn
out
too
quickly.
Give
your
mind
and
your
body
enough
time
to
recharge
for
a
killer
punch
of
enthusiasm
when
it’s
needed.
16.
Expect
a
delay
in
reward
–
Know
that
most
of
the
time,
the
reward
does
not
come
straight
away.
Nothing
great
ever
came
that
easy.
But
when
you
get
there
it
feels
like
a
million
bucks,
keep
moving!
17.
Break
through
Plateaus
A.S.A.P
-­‐
Plateaus
are
those
things
that
hold
you
back
from
growing
and
improving.
Be
aware
of
when
you
hit
a
plateau,
when
you
do,
it’s
time
to
shake
things
up.
Try
a
different
approach;
learn
something
new
so
that
you
can
break
through
the
barriers.
18.
Think
long
term
–
Think
to
yourself,
“What
kind
of
legacy
will
this
achievement
leave
behind?”
It
may
be
hard
now
but
what
you
do
right
now
could
really
set
you
and
others
around
you
up
for
life.
19.
Don’t
feel
sorry
for
yourself
–
If
you
are
facing
a
hard
challenge,
man
up!
Know
that
you
can
make
it
through
and
that
you
were
faced
with
the
cards
at
hand
and
that
you
where
chosen
because
you
have
it
in
you
to
make
it
out
alive.
20.
Keep
positive
people
around
you
–
Negative
people
are
toxic,
they
are
life
leeches.
The
last
thing
you
need
is
someone
around
you
that
is
quick
to
say,
“that’s
not
possible”.
21.
Believe
in
working
your
ass
off
–
If
you
believe
everything
is
meant
to
be
easy
you
are
in
for
a
shock.
Know
that
working
your
ass
off
will
give
you
massive
gains
for
the
future.
22.
Visualize
the
reward
differently
–
Losing
hope?
Visualize
your
end
goal
in
different
colors,
different
ways,
angles,
shapes
and
forms.
Make
it
so
real
and
attractive
in
your
mind
that
you
are
so
close
to
touching
it.
Now
go
out
there
and
get
it.
You
just
owned
it.
It’s
yours!
23.
Learn
to
laugh
at
the
excuses
–
The
ANT’s
in
your
head,
the
“Annoying
Negative
Thoughts’,
can
sometimes
get
the
best
of
you.
Learn
to
laugh
at
the
ridiculous
excuses
you
are
making,
make
a
stand
that
you
won’t
let
any
negative
thoughts
hold
you
back
from
your
success
anymore.

5. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
24.
Practice
what
you
preach
–
This
one
is
very
important.
Remember
all
the
people
that
you
once
told
about
your
goal,
dream
or
vision?
I
bet
you
are
quick
to
tell
others
they
should
make
a
move
when
the
time
comes.
Make
sure
that
you
are
no
hypocrite
in
the
process.
Hold
yourself
to
your
own
word.
25.
You
must
believe
–
Know
that
sometimes
you
will
need
to
believe
in
yourself,
even
when
nobody
else
is
around
to
believe
that
you
can
do
it.
Solidify
your
beliefs,
you
deserve
it,
you
can
do
it!
26.
You
are
an
inspiration
–
Someone
out
there,
somewhere
is
watching
you
and
your
progress,
your
achievements
and
performance.
Even
if
it’s
just
one
person,
you
could
be
all
they
need
as
a
source
of
Inspiration
to
achieve
their
own
success.
If
you
can’t
do
it
for
you,
do
it
for
them!
27.
Change
your
internal
dialogue
–
Stop
saying,
I
may,
I
might,
I
could.
Start
saying,
I
Can,
I
Will,
I
MUST!
These
are
words
of
certainty,
and
you’ll
be
amazed
how
much
of
a
difference
they
can
make
in
motivating
your
mind
to
take
action.
28.
Switch
up
your
body
language
and
posture
–
Are
you
slouching?
I
bet
you
are,
most
of
the
time
we
are.
Stick
your
chest
out,
lift
your
chin
up
and
smile,
laugh
or
scream.
Change
your
physiology
so
that
you
can
change
your
state.
I
have
never
seen
a
winner
who
has
ever
looked
depressed.
29.
Focus
on
the
feeling
of
achievement
–
How
are
you
going
to
feel
after
you
achieve
your
goal?
Visualize
how
excited,
pumped
and
confident
you
are
going
to
feel
when
you
hit
the
target
you
are
aiming
for.
30.
Take
a
little
time
to
re-­‐align
–
Sometimes
we
lose
focus
on
what
we
are
really
trying
to
achieve.
We
get
caught
up
in
the
struggle
and
forget
how
important
it
is
to
balance
our
mind
and
body.
Put
yourself
in
a
quick
two
–
ten
minute
time
out
so
that
your
mind
and
body
can
regroup
and
work
together.
31.
Find
an
awesome
mantra
–
Your
mantra
can
be
an
affirmation,
slogan
or
quote.
Something
that
YOU
can
use
universally
that
will
motivate
you
to
win.
A
lot
of
successful
athletes
use
mantras
before
their
big
game
or
race
and
it
has
been
proven
to
work
well
in
self-­‐motivating
the
mind
to
shift
to
a
more
kick
ass
state.
32.
No
more
heavy
food
–
Nutrition
is
a
massive
part
of
our
everyday
lives.
If
we
are
constantly
filling
our
body
with
starchy,
sugary,
heavy,
and
oily
foods
then
our
digestive
system
has
to
work
on
overtime,
leaving
our
mind
and
body
functioning
at
a
slower
rate.
Start
filling
your
body
with
good
nutrition
and
you’ll
have
an
abundance
of
energy
to
stay
motivated
for
longer.

6. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
33.
Crank
up
the
anthems!
–
Create
a
playlist
of
some
of
your
heart
racing,
chest
thumping,
adrenalin
pumping
songs
that
motivate
you
to
push
it
to
the
limits.
Music
has
an
amazing
affect
on
the
mind.
It
is
powerful
enough
to
motivate
humans
to
move
and
dance,
and
increases
activity
in
the
mind.
Use
this
powerful
tool
to
switch
it
up
to
a
whole
new
level
of
motivation.
34.
Award
yourself
–
Award
yourself
for
every
achievement
you
make.
You
will
start
to
create
an
awesome
effect
within
your
psyche
that
conditions
you
with
more
positive
thoughts
and
will
help
you
build
a
stronger
belief
that
the
hard
work
will
definitely
pay
off
every
time.
35.
Define
your
motive
–
When
you
start
to
lose
sight
define
your
motive,
why
are
you
chasing
this
dream
and
what
does
it
mean
to
you?
Constantly
define
why
you
need
to
achieve
it
and
attach
it
to
a
strong
enough
“WHY”.
36.
Who
is
your
hero?
–
Find
somebody
to
look
up
to?
Who
has
been
where
you
want
to
go?
Do
you
find
inspiration
in
Steve
Jobs,
Tony
Robbins,
Oprah
Winfrey,
Bruce
Lee
or
Arnold
Schwarzenegger?
Find
your
hero
and
live
by
their
philosophies.
37.
Become
a
leader
–
The
responsibility
of
leading
others
to
achieve
success
is
a
strong
motivator
in
itself.
It
draws
everything
out
of
you,
it
demands
resourcefulness
and
can
re-­‐assure
you
that
you
can
be
respected
and
admired
by
others.
38.
Read
a
Self
Development
Book
–
There
are
millions
of
years
worth
of
knowledge
compiled
into
the
books
that
are
available
at
our
fingertips
nowadays.
Some
people
have
spent
a
life-­‐time
sharing
their
mistakes,
their
adversities
and
their
triumphs
through
books,
why
would
you
not
get
your
hands
on
a
book
that
will
light
the
fire
in
your
belly
and
inspire
you
to
move?
39.
Stop
looking
for
complexities
–
When
we
over
analyze
and
look
into
what
we
are
about
to
do
for
too
long,
we
talk
ourselves
out
of
it.
We
procrastinate
and
procrastination
is
what
stops
us
from
growing
to
our
full
potential.
Start
by
simplifying
what
you
need
to
do
and
smash
it!
40.
Know
should
that
where
you
are
now,
won’t
last
forever
–
You
either
move
or
move
over.
Which
way
would
you
rather
be
heading?
Your
mindset
should
be
that
you
are
always,
with
every
action,
becoming
something
greater.

7. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
41.
Correct
your
technique
–
Is
there
one
minor
detail
that
is
holding
you
back?
You
could
be
making
things
harder
for
yourself
by
leaving
something
totally
obvious
out,
check
in
with
yourself
and
find
the
shift
that
is
needed
to
get
you
back
on
the
grid.
42.
Stop
with
the
uncertainty
–
Focus
on
your
self-­‐talk.
Are
you
talking
BIG
or
you
talking
to
your
self
like
a
damn
pipsqueak?
Beef
up
what
you
are
saying
to
yourself
and
use
positive
words,
words
that
will
help
you
to
become
more
certain
of
how
powerful
you
really
are.
Us
humans
are
designed
to
be
incredible
beings,
don’t
you
forget
that.
43.
You
are
built
to
adapt
–
Our
bodies
are
so
amazing
that
we
can
literally
throw
anything
at
it
and
it
will
compensate
100
times
over
and
go
against
it
until
it
falls
apart
if
we
let
it.
The
problem
is
that
our
mind
gives
up
100
times
over
before
our
bodies
do.
How
much
further
can
you
go
with
what
you
need
to
do?
Will
your
body
allow
it?
Ask
yourself
that
question
and
be
real
with
yourself,
have
you
out
performed
yourself
in
this
situation
before?
If
yes,
then
what
are
you
waiting
for?
If
no,
then
why
not
see
how
far
you
can
go?
The
benefit
will
be
you
raised
the
bar
and
you
will
grow.
Sounds
like
a
win-­‐win
to
me!
44.
The
struggle
is
really
an
award
–
The
hurdles
are
there
to
see
how
much
you
really
deserve
success.
For
every
hurdle
that
is
in
place
that
you
jump
over,
weave
around,
or
break
through
is
a
hurdle
someone
else
didn’t
have
the
guts
to
complete.
You
are
one
cut
above
the
rest.
If
it
were
easy
then
there
would
be
no
greatness
in
achieving
the
task
at
hand.
Embrace
the
hurdles
and
show
them
who’s
BOSS!!
45.
Shift
the
doubt
–
It’s
easy
to
focus
on
how
hard
something
is,
but
the
reason
why
we
focus
on
the
hard
is
because
we
doubt
ourselves.
Stop
Doubting
Yourself!
Start
doubting
your
fears
instead,
laugh
at
the
stupid
thought
of
you
being
scared
of
something
that
doesn’t
exist
or
hasn’t
even
happened
yet.
If
we
doubted
our
fears
instead
of
doubting
our
dreams,
imagine
how
much
in
life
we’d
accomplish?
46.
It’s
either
up
or
down
–
At
any
given
moment
in
time
you
are
either
moving
away
or
towards
success.
Up
is
where
the
fresh
air
is,
down
is
where
it’s
stale
and
over
crowded.
Harness
your
will
to
be
someone
who
is
always
moving
up!

8. 50
Ways
To
Stay
Awesomely
Motivated
47.
The
clock
is
ticking
–
There
is
1,440
minutes
in
a
day,
and
only
1,080
of
active
time,
when
you
consider
6
hours
of
sleep
into
that.
What
are
you
doing
with
your
1,080
at
hand?
Every
successful
person
that
has
ever
walked
this
earth
has
learned
an
important
lesson
about
time
at
some
point
in
his
or
her
life.
They
learned
that
time
is
money
or
more
importantly
that
time
is
of
the
essence.
Use
the
time
you
have
wisely.
It
will
be
over
before
you
know
it.
Morbid….but
true.
48.
Find
someone
who
hates
you
–
Sounds
crazy,
I
know.
But
this
one
might
actually
work.
A
common
theme
in
the
reasoning
behind
a
number
of
successful
people
shows
that
they
where
driven
to
prove
their
friends
and
family
members
wrong.
This
could
be
the
fuel
to
your
fire.
Just
expect
that
they
are
going
to
be
harsh,
channel
that
into
you
showing
them
that
you
are
more
than
they
expected.
49.
Get
familiar
with
your
standards
–
How
high
is
your
bar
set?
How
good
do
you
believe
you
really
are?
Really
think
about
this
and
set
a
visual
bar
in
the
air,
in
your
mind
for
your
beliefs
in
what
you
can
achieve.
See
the
problem
is
that
most
people
don’t
even
know
what
their
standards
are;
they
just
stab
aimlessly
in
the
dark
and
go
by
how
they
are
feeling
on
the
day.
That
is
not
good
enough
my
friend!
We
only
get
what
we
believe
we
deserve.
Raise
the
bar,
raise
your
standards
and
you
will
receive
a
better
outcome.
50.
You
are
a
creator
–
You
create
the
way
your
body
looks,
you
create
stories
in
your
mind
whether
they
are
good
or
bad,
you
create
emotions
every
time
you
react
to
someone’s
smile,
hug
or
taunt.
You
where
born
to
create
the
life
that
you
want
to
live.
Everything
you
have
accumulated
and
achieved
in
your
life
leading
up
to
today
has
been
created
by
you
through
your
thoughts,
behaviors
and
actions.
The
car
you
drive,
the
relationships
you
have,
the
house
you
live
in,
the
moments
you
have
“Created”
in
your
life.
That
was
you.
That
in
it
self
should
motivate
the
flying
*freak*
out
of
you
to
move,
act,
feel,
jump
and
run
the
fricken
show.
So
grab
life
by
the
gonads
and
show
it
what
you
really
came
here
to
do!!
