"Authentic motivation know no fear. Authentic motivation moves forward in any economy, under all circumstances" - Denise Wilmer Barreto, October 25, 2008 - Authentic Motivation
Today - I assert that authentic motivation actually physically and mentally breaks down the barriers between you and your goals. I defined motivation as "that which moves you" - positive or negative.
Circumstances motivate us, positively or negatively.
People motivate us, positively or negatively.
Most of all - you motivate yourself.
So today - five months and six days later - I challenge all who are struggling with their motivation to remember the very simple definition and go find what moves you and start honoring it today.
I am walking proof of taking the most challenging of situations - facing them head-on and channeling the energy that you would normally use to complain, worry or doubt yourself - into a strategic plan for change.
I am smiling tonight as a result.
Denise ... I completely agree with you. "People motivate us, positively or negatively. Most of all - you motivate yourself."
ReplyDeleteAuthentic motivation comes from the individual making a stand within his/herself. Once you make the choice to do something, that is when you're likely to accomplish that goal.
I've found that goals set BY other people are FOR other people. Only I can set MY goals. And only I can achieve them.
When times get tough and you feel like giving up, only YOU can push through.
