Go get em!
By Sammo
Over the last weekend i have found myself falling out of my motivational plans, so as fragmentor once said, its time to "Get back on that horse and dont let go" (I love that post) but i need MORE then just emotional motivation i need some concrete goals.
Im sure you all understand the feeling. Have you ever got really excited about having something only having the excitement and motivation fizzle out within a matter of weeks (maybe even days)? Most people wait for sensible times to make a concious decision to set goals to get into better shape, get that new car, approach 10 hotties, etc.
There is a HUGE difference between setting a goal and going out and achieveing it, but very few people understand why. The most common problem with goals is when people find themselves getting side tracked off the goal, they do something else, they make exscuses, they do whatever. The real secret to ever achieving a goal you have set for yourself is: desire. As humans we are %100 emotional but we rationalise our decisions.
The fuel that gets us going and keeps us going starts with a burning desire. You must always have enough emotional reasons for why you want something. When things get a bit tough on the road to achieving your goal, which they will, you will eventually quit if you don't have strong emotional attatchements to achieving the goal. For example, if you wanted to change jobs or take up a new position to earn more money, but you didnt have any other motivation to get out of your comfort zone to actually do it, you would then likely keep talking about it but never take action.
Lets say you then find out you have a baby on the way and you have to move into a bigger house. Now that would be alot more of an emotional reason to drive motivation it would be something you feel strongly about.
There are 4 steps you need to take to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you DESIRE to be. Unfortunately very few people know this process and all you have to do is begin to apply these steps to your life and you will begin to see drastic improvements.
Following these four steps will be the start that leads you on the pathway to getting what you really want in life. It is simple but dont let the simplicity fool you into thinking it doesnt work. It works for anyone who applies it.
The 4-step formula for sucess, know:
1. What you want
2. When you want it
3. Why you want it.
4. How you intend to get it.
There is an old saying: "Knowing and doing are two different things. Most people know what to do, but most people just dont do what they all ready know."
If you really desire to have something and you want to stay motivateed you must make a decision to become obsessed with the idea of having it. If you really desire something you have to decide specifically what it is you want, find out the price you have to pay to get it, but more importantly, be willing to pay it.
Remember, you can't negotiate with success. In order to get what you really want in life you have to pay the full price and you have to pay the full price in advance. Make a decision today to pay that price, it wont be easy, but i gaurantee you it will be worth it!
