Motivation is the driving force behind positive change and achieving goals. It comes from having a clear vision of what you want and a burning desire to make it a reality. Maintaining motivation keeps you focused on your dreams and pushing forward even when facing challenges. Some tips to boost motivation include creating a vision board with goal images, appreciating the finite nature of time and using it effectively, and overcoming fear which can prevent pursuing dreams. The world is waiting for individuals to share their gifts without letting fear hold them back from taking action.
1. Motivation
is the driving force behind life-enhancing change. It
comes from knowing exactly what you want to do
and having an insatiable, burning desire to do what’s
necessary to get it. It keeps your dream on track as it
is the power of motivation that keeps you going
when the going gets tough

2. Life within itself has its ups and downs, this don't mean that life's problems
should stop you from having the best and a successful and enjoyable life! Ev-
ery morning you need to motivate yourself and go out into this world and
make it great for you and yours.
Motivation is the driving
force behind life-enhancing
change. It comes from
knowing exactly what you
want to do and having an
insatiable, burning desire
to do what’s necessary to
get it. It keeps your dream
on track as it is the power
of motivation that keeps
you going when the going
gets tough
Here’s five top tips to help
you supercharge your moti-
vation:
1. Create a picture board and fill it with images of your desired
goals. The car you want to own, the house you want to live in,
the area where you want to live yes, they’re the obvious ones.
Others could be pictures of holiday destinations, trophies, first-
class travel tickets, clothes you want to buy, fine restaurants you
want to frequent – whatever you can think of that gets your pulse
racing.
3. 2. GET ANGRY. If you want to change your life for the better then
get angry about where you’re at now. Having an erroneous atti-
tude towards change isn’t what’s needed and it won’t create a
strong desire within you. So ask: “Why do I want to change?” Is it
because you’re FED UP with debts? Does your job DRIVE YOU CRA-
ZY? Is your lives DULL AND PREDICTABLE? Are you SICK AND TIRED
of doing the same thing week in week out? Are you BORED BE-
YOND BELIEF by the dull, uninspiring, unhappy people you associ-
ate with? THEN GET ANGRY ABOUT IT. And I mean REAL ANGRY.
Write it all down, all the frustrating, unrewarding, miserable lot
of it that makes every day a dull slog until your final days. IS
THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
3. Speaking of your final days, start to appreciate the value of
time. Time is one of the most precious resources you have and it
is also a NON RENEWABLE resource. You can either use it fully or
squander it. If you want to create change you’re going to have to
invest a lot of time to make it happen. Start to reduce the time
you waste on irrelevancies: Television, newspapers, lie-ins, week-
ends spent shopping, partying, dining out, visiting an .
endless line of relatives and friends – these won’t help you get what you want
and all of them will steal time from you. Valuable time that you can use much
more effectively by investing it in YOU. Remember this: You have a finite
amount of time here on Earth. You don’t know how much time you have – no
one does. But its how you use the time you have that counts. So make your
time count and that means starting from right NOW.
4. Conformity. Are you a mindless little sheep who’s way too timid to pursue
4. your own way? Do you have to follow where everyone else goes, doing
exactly what everyone else does and therefore, who gets the same levels
of happiness as all the other little sheep? Seriously, does this describe
YOU? Are you too frightened to be different from all the other sheep be-
cause they wouldn’t like it if you decided to follow a different path? So
you dutifully trot along following all the other sheep because if they’re
doing it then that’s how it is right? But if you do what everyone else does
you’ll just get what everyone else gets. Do you want to be a mindless,
timid little sheep who blindly follows all the other sheep? Or do you want
to be a leader, a warrior who possesses the courage to be uniquely you
and to do what you want to do and make your dreams happen? If so then
this means you have to be more like a tiger than a sheep. Do you really
want to be a sheep? I mean, haven’t
we got enough sheep already?
5. Fear your fear. Fear is the force
that is determined to stop you in
your tracks and steal your dreams
from you. But it can only do this if
you let it. Are you going to let this
cruel destructive charlatan trample
on your dreams, rob your happi-
ness and crush your spirit? Imagine
this thought haunting your final
days: “I didn’t do the things I want-
ed because I was too frightened to
live”. And by then, it’ll be far too
late to conquer fear. Refuse to let fear spoil your life and start taking ac-
tion – now!
The world is waiting for your unique gifts. Why keep it waiting any lon-
ger?
