Taking Action And Staying Motivated…

Written by Marie on Jul 30th, 2008 | Filed under: All Posts, Motivational Leadership

Ok, so you have a vision. You’ve set goals. You’ve made a business plan. Now what?

You have to take action and stay committed to your goals. But” you say, “how do I stay motivated?

It goes like this. All of it stems from your vision. Don’t get vision confused with goals. They are 2 different things.

Your vision is where you want to go vs your goals which can be short term or long term.

Goals will help you get to your vision.

Now you may have a short term goal, let’s say you want to lose 5 pounds. Once you’ve reached it, that goal is done. That is short term. You feel the satisfaction of having accomplished this task.

Reaching your vision is really made up of a lot of short term goals along the way.

But you can’t get there only doing short-term goals, you also need long term goals.

They are directly linked to your vision so that your vision will be what will spur you on and inspire you, excite you to keep on going.

Self Motivation stems from your vision and can have external factors, meaning outside of yourself such as what happens to your life naturally: taking lessons, reading inspirational writings, seeing others succeed etc.

Self motivation must also have internal factors which ensure your vision motives will be so strong as to take you through the hard times. Times when everything you’re doing doesn’t seem to get you anywhere.

Maybe you need to re-evaluate the method you are using or maybe it’s just a question of timing. Sitting down and really meditating over this will give you a clue either way.

What keeps me motivated is my faith that what I am working at will give me the results I am after. I am focused on “abundance” not “lack”.

I see the finished vision and what I do daily are the steps I need to take to get me there.

In the mean time, I set goals that will get me closer to my vision and once I’ve reached those goals, I set new ones.

Setting daily goals is easy and each little step shows the Universe that I am serious about what I am doing and where I want to go.

It’s hard for many people to believe that the Universe is only waiting for us to ask for what we want before IT gives us exactly what we want.

You’ve heard “beware of what you want, or you might just get it”. Well this stands especially true with a vision that is based in helping others be the most that they can be.

It seems that the Universe is just tripping over itself when it comes to helping you help others gets what they want.

So staying motivated for me is not difficult. I read inspiring works, I do daily affirmations, set short and long term goals and keep my vision alive while giving thanks with a grateful heart for all that I have already.

I also work with like minded people who support my belief system. These people are positive thinkers who empower me.

Are those the kind of people you have around you? Are they the kind of people your networking business is filled with? If not, then you must consider changing your environment or the wrong people around you can eventually bring you down to their level and you will only experience dissatisfaction and little success.

Do these words resonate well with you? Finding like minded people is really not that hard because who you are is really who you will attract. The Law of Attraction makes it so!
