I’ve been talking about motivation lately, with some really positive results in my own life and hopefully elsewhere too. To round out the discussion, I thought I’d add some “quick hits” — short suggestions about motivation lifted from the conversations I’ve had with various motivation gurus, including Jeff Keller, Omar Periu, and Tony Robbins:
- Always act with a purpose — your purpose.
- Take responsibility for your own results.
- Stretch yourself past your limits on a daily basis.
- Don’t wait for perfection, just do it now!
- Be careful of what you eat; it takes energy to succeed.
- Hang around people who are as motivated as yourself.
- Don’t live a life of quiet desperation. Take action! Now!
- When you learn from failure, it’s not really failure.
- Don’t get complacent because you’re successful today.
- Always say “I must” rather than “I’ll try” when seeing goals.
- Don’t avoid a decision; that’s always a decision to fail.
- Keep quiet if you can’t say something positive.
- Respond to “How are you?” with “Terrific!” not “Hangin’ in there.”
- Don’t spout negative talk; it programs you for negative results.
- Stop complaining about that over which you have no control.
- Stop griping about your personal problems and illnesses.
- Expunge negative, de-motivating words in your speech.
- Focus on purpose and goals, not obstacles and problems.
- Start each day with at least 15 minutes of positive input.
- Reduce your exposure to depressing news media.
Anyone else have some pithy words of wisdom?
