Improve your life – Motivation

What Motivates You?

Do big rewards motivate you? Big money? Vacation rewards? What? If I offered you $100,000 to shovel snow in freezing weather every day for the next 30 days would you do it? That’s a big reward isn’t it? But you have to do it for 12 hour work shifts and at night. Would you do it? I know a lot of people that $100K would save their financial situation immediately. But they wouldn’t do it – even if I doubled that offer. It’s not a big enough reward. Although it would change their life immediately!

So what motivates you to improve your life?

Look at your life. How do you live day to day? Are you a goal setter that achieves daily small goals in order to achieve the big goal to improve your life? Or do you focus on the ‘big goal’ but stay the course daily to always rack up the successes that lead to that goal? Either way, its the same. Goals are the biggest motivators that we can have. Find one!

Motivational quote: “When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, you’ll find a way to get it.”
Jim Rohn

What makes you do this? What is your motivation to improve your life? Is it an inherit trait? Is it inside you? Or is there something that you are doing it for – family, spouse, financial reasons… Why? Why? Why? And for what?

Motivation is key to success – career, personal, family, relationships.

So what motivates you? Are you motivated by: “If you do this, then you will get that” scenario?

Here is great insight on motivation. I pulled this video from GenerallyThinking.com. It is Dan Pink speaking on Motivation. It’s a little long but great insight for those, like the CreateYourMind.com team, that love things like this = what motivates us?

Do you want to change the world? Start by working to improve your life! Forget those big rewards! Do something you really want – and influence others to do the same.

Motivational Quote: “Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a ‘must’ and ‘want.’” Jim Rohn

Wow – we can get exactly what we ‘must have’. If you must have a better life, then that is motivation enough to improve your life! Do ti! Get motivated and achieve your goals!  It’s hard – you will hit obstacles and challenges (as discussed here: Self Improvement and Motivation inspired by Challenges), but don’t quit! Improve your life!

If you are backed against the wall and feel like quiting – this little piece of inspiration will help you. “Don’t Give Up“
