3 Effective Motivational Tips - By Momodou Sabally

The 7 secrets of motivation was the subject of a free
teleconference offered by one of Mike Litman’s success coaches
Anna. The motivational session offered great insights a few of
which I will discuss here for your benefit.

1.Have a vision

Nothing can be achieved unless first a vision of that goal is
properly created and nurtured. Whatever you wish for in life,
write it down as a goal, yes a goal for that is one step higher
than a wish. Then turning this goal into a vision is what gives
it LIFE. During his early days in Hollywood Steve Chandler asked
Arnold Schwarzenegger how he was going to accomplish his goal
of, as Arnold Confidently put it to him “be the number one box
office star in all of Hollywood”. Arnold’s answer was both
precise and practical. It is simple, he said, what you do is
just create a picture of what you want to do and live into that
picture as if it were real. Have a goal, state your vision, no
do not just state your vision, picture it, “taste it, feel it,
touch it”, says Anna Goldstein and work your way to its
fulfillment.

2.“Clear that path to Motivation”

Get rid of the clutter, in other words, “de-clutter your life”.
Do not let things pile up on your desk or anywhere in your
environment because that kills your motivation. Am going to move
one step further on this by extending it beyond the physical
clutter that it is supposed to be. Clear your mind of all the
psychological and emotional clutters of negative thinking, fear,
and anger; they are obstacles to motivation and
self-fulfillment.

3.talk your way to success

Psychologists have noticed that the average person talks to
herself about 800 words per minute. The worse bit of this
startling discovery is that most of this self-talk is negative.
You talk to yourself every minute trying to justify your current
status; resisting the need for positive change in a fast-paced
world that has no constant but change alone. Make your self-talk
positive. Tell yourself all the good things, the good habits you
need to acquire, in a word, talk your way into motivation and
meaningful achievement.

In the words of Anna Goldstein, take action now! Any type of
result moves you forward. Doing something wrong is better than
not doing it at all.
