Do You Have Motivation?
- Comments: 7
Do you want to make something out of yourself? Do you want to be rich? What did you do today to get yourself closer to your goal?
Most people want something. Some people want to find a wife/husband, get married and have children. Others, want to have successful careers. Still, others have even more specific wants and goals, but no one seems to want to work toward them. Why?
Simple: They don’t want it bad enough. You can have anything in this world as long as you want it bad enough. Anything.
If the desire within yourself is strong enough, you will overcome any obstacles. If you listen to interviews with successful people, or people who have accomplished great things, you will hear common themes among them. One major theme is, “never give up.” This is easier said than done. In order to succeed you must never give up and never stop trying. If you do, you will fail. Guaranteed.
The second thing you will hear is: Do not let anyone tell you it can’t be done or that you cannot do it. If Bill Gates would have listened to other people telling him he couldn’t create OS software, he wouldn’t be the richest person in the world. If Micheal Jordan would have listened to all the kids in his high school that told him he couldn’t play basketball, he would have never been the greatest and most recognizable sports hero of all time. Never let anyone tell you that you cannot accomplish your goals.
There are thousands of people accomplishing their goals and living their dreams everyday. Why can’t this be you? It can! Believe in yourself, and you shall succeed.
Take a look at yourself. How many excuses can you come up with? They may sound like, “My parents were broke,” or, “No one has showed me how to make money.”
Do you really think any of this matters? Really? My answer is no. If you want something bad enough, you will ignore every excuse and just do whatever you have to in order to get what you want. YOU CAN DO IT! Stop making excuses, get off the couch and do it!
It’s much easier said than done. That’s why not too many people are successful but it’s knowing how to get up from failure that sets people apart from the rest. Great post!
Answering these questions might begin to bring some clarity of purpose in peoples lives. I look forward to your success in impacting the lives of others online Josh. Be sure and stop by for a visit and I look forward to connecting with you at some point in the future!
The thing that’s always stuck in my mind is that a lot of things that successful people do seem impossible … until you do them or make some meaningful progress towards them yourself.
Then you know just how easy a lot of things are
This is an old message, boring for me yet an important one. I will have to say that most people who give up easily will most likely be failures throughout the rest of his or her life. The ones that maintain good habits and dicipline will most likely strive. Out of 100 people, maybe .0001 will find some type of motivation to get off the couch and change. I was sick and tired of my life and I took action to change it. I can say that I am that .0001. I’ve heard these messages too many times, and it was until I was in the gutter that I realized how deep I was.
I think one of the biggest problems in our culture is a lack of discipline. This has led to failure in MANY areas, including personal finance, families falling apart, etc. When some people hear “never give up”, they think it means to keep on buying those lottery tickets until you win! Great post!
For the first ever this year I sat down and wrote down my financial golas for the coming year. I’m a single mom now and money has a whole new meaning to me. I found it gave me a focus and justification I have never had before.
I dont know how to say this but upon reading your articles…..it has give me some motivation. Hope you’ll write keep writing great…..Keep up the gud work. God bless…
