When you stay motivated, you can choose your own destiny and success. Remember, success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of your internal drive to be the best you can be and that is the power of motivation. Unfortunately, too many people are heading to a place called Nowhere. In fact, many people who are going nowhere in life, are usually already there. Are you suspecting that this could be you? Let's explore this a little further. Ask yourself: Where is nowhere and how did i get there? Following are some suggestions of the things that may have affected you:
- Fear of failure
- Avoiding risks
- By taking - not giving
- Not being open for new idea's
- Lack of perseverance
- Not wanting to make a decision
- Living in the past
'Nowhere' is found by being restricted through unwillingness to see possibilities'
If your next journey is going to 'nowhere' than you can be sure you will never depart. Sometimes you hear people complaining that others have all the luck - but is it really luck?
Someone once said that sometimes our enthusiasm for change depends on our willingness to take a chance on tomorrow by risking what we have today. People who are going 'nowhere' are afraid to leave the supposed safety and security of 'not moving'. They are standing still because they are afraid of failure, risks, and sticking their neck out.
But remember the turtle - he may be slow but he gets there by sticking his neck out!
We are free - even if our circumstances are not great, we can move above our circumstances. You decide what do you want to achieve? What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Think about it - what you dream about today is possible tomorrow! Dreams are the seeds of our goals. It starts in the mind with pictures through which we see the results of our future goals. Decide what you want -
- It starts in the mind
- See the possibility and be inspired by it
- Create images that motivate you
- Do it
Some people are held back because they think that they are realistic. However you can be too realistic and set yourself up for failure. You will then say to yourself: "Forget it, I'll never make it. I can't do it." No one plans to fail but many fail to plan.
Lloyd Jones said: "The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed."
Dare to aim above what you know or even think that you can do. Goals that fit you won't thrill you. So, if you know where you want to go you can write your own ticket and choose your own destiny. You decide what do you want to achieve in your life? What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Do it now because you only live once and make sure before you leave this world, you will leave a positive mark for people to remember.
