Motivation – the Energy Behind Action

Many people think motivation is just an emotion, or a thought. Its not! Motivation is the energy behind action.

No motivation and your actions are empty; without substance. However, if you add motivation to your actions, they become powerful and effective.

Motivation is the sister of intent, and together, they make us effective or ineffective people.

How is Motivation Energy?

Motivation begins with a thought or a desire. These thoughts or desires have real energy within them, and they energize whatever they touch. If these are in conversation, they energize your speech and the hearing of those that listen to them. This is a fact.

Every good salesman knows he cannot sell anything unless he is motivated and believes what he is doing is also good for those who buy. If the salesman is not “sold”, he will never sell. Being sold is his motivation energizing his thoughts, speech and finally actions.

The fact that motivation is energy is seen most easily in those people whose task it is, to convince others. You simply cannot convince others unless you are convinced. You cannot be convinced unless you are motivated.

Motivation Dispels Procrastination

Putting things off; a common human trait, is also a cause of a great many human ills and unhappy situations. If you are motivated, however, you “just do it” as the slogan goes, and step by step you eventually progress.

Do not procrastinate. If you do, you’re ideas, your thoughts become impotent, and you become impotent with them.

How to Become Motivated

There is an old prayer, where a saint is walking along with road in his bare feet, his shoes long ruined and discarded. He prayed for shoes. Just then he saw a man without feet! He withdrew his prayer, and thanked God for all his blessings.

You need no more to become motivated than to realize if you are reasonably healthy, and have the basics of life, you are more than well off. Your motivation then should be to be better in what you do, how you look, what you say, and most of all, how you are.

One needs no more than to realize most of the people in the world do not have the basics of life, yet they survive. If you ponded that thought, your motivation comes of itself.

Turning Motivation into Action

This is the easiest part of the discussion. One turns motivation into action by setting goals. Your goals must be somehow realistic, and somehow achievable. They should be (in part anyway) achievable in a reasonable amount of time. Motivation somehow needs some reward, like a horse needing a bit of sugar after working a while.

Your actions, now charged with motivation, and having a destination (goal) are the stuff that built empires. The stuff that put man on the moon, and every other wonderful achievement in man’s history.

You can apply these simple facts in your life, and you will see it improve for the better, no matter what. You must be motivated, and your motivation will energize your actions. An action, energized by motivation, and having a goal has a very large chance of success, regardless of its magnitude.

7 Factors To Consider When Creating Strategic Action Plans To Reach Your Goals

Author: Robbie

Mar 5

Dreaming big dreams is the first start towards achieving a fulfilling goal. The main difference between a dream and a materialized goal is that goals are specific things written down with a specific plan to achieve that. When you have a clear picture of what you want, your mind begins to look at the world differently. Through these new lenses, you begin to notice the people, resources and ideas that will help you get closer to your goal. However, if your goal is not specific enough, your mind might not know exactly what to look for that will help your each your end destination.

That is why you need to have a specific plan of action to get your to your goals, which is similar to having a map that will guide you to your final destination. There are seven things to keep in mind when you are creating that strategic action plans:

1) Know your time frame – when do you want to reach your goal? For example, if your goal is to lose weight, decide on a specific time you want to achieve that goal, such as July 31 of this year.

2) Map your route – ask yourself questions like what courses will you take? What are your milestones that lie intermediate between now and your time frame?

3) Who will be involved in your journey – perhaps it’s your spouse or kids? A friend or a business partner?

4) Who do you need? Have you decided on a mentor or coach? Or a friend that has been in your shoes before, and knows how to get to your final goal?

5) What research is needed? In order to get to your goal, what type of research do you need to undertake to provide you with enough knowledge and know-how on getting to your destination?

6) What resources are needed? Just like taking a road trip where you need gas, a map, and a functional car, list the resources you need to get you to your final goal.

7) What training do you need? When taking a road trip, you may brush up on how to use your car’s GPS or navigation system. What skills do you need to brush up on, or learn, to get you to your goal?

Now that you have taken these points into consideration, think of your goal and start creating your action plan to get there. Good luck!
