Secret to Sustained Motivation

 

Secret to Sustained Motivation
by Jane Powell
 
“Motivation comes from action.”
 
Motivation comes from doing, moving and taking action!
 
The real excitement begins when you start something and see it begin to take shape. Once you experience success as a direct result of your efforts and enthusiasm, your motivation will rise and carry you through.
 
If you are waiting to feel motivated, just do something. Just start! Make your motto, “No more waiting – just doing!” That is the secret to the momentum of motivation.
 
 

Mistakes

One of the smartest things you can do is to entertain the possibility that you may be mistaken. Because if you are mistaken, and you're able to see it, you have the opportunity for great progress.

There is no dishonor in being mistaken. Yet there is great folly indeed in being so stubborn that you refuse to admit your own mistakes.

Mistakes can be powerful teachers. By knowing firsthand what does not work, you gain much greater understanding about what does work, and why.

If you're not willing to accept the possibility of mistakes, you're not going to make much headway. Though there's no need to purposely make mistakes, there's no reason to live in fear of them either.

Even if you are already effective, there likely are ways to be yet more effective. Even if your mistakes are not disastrous, there is still much that you can learn from them.

Embrace the fact that somehow, concerning something, you're probably mistaken. And in your mistakes, find the wisdom that will take your performance to an even higher level.

 

You cannot achieve excellence just by proclaiming it to be. Excellence is built in the details.
Attend faithfully and competently to the details, while staying true to your purpose. That is how to bring excellence into your world.
 
What is done with genuine love is done with excellence. Let love guide you in each moment, and you will consistently create excellence.
 
Excellence resonates with what is true, what is good and authentically valuable, with what is right. Work with honesty, integrity, and a commitment to truth, and excellence will permeate the results.
 
Intention is critical, yet excellence does not come from good intentions alone. Excellence comes from actions persistently and consistently guided by the highest and most authentic intentions.
 
In each thing you do is the opportunity to create excellence. Again and again, bring excellence to life, and live true to your highest purpose.
 
Ralph Marston
