So how many times a day do you hear someone else say something that tries to motivate you?
Most of the time I bet, the person trying to motivate you uses a catch phrase, “YES, WE CAN!” and “A NEW DAY!” and “you can do it, we can help”. These phrases are designed to encourage us, motivate us and most of all, coerce us into believing the person that said it is responsible for the feeling we get when we hear it…
I want everyone to come up with their own “motto” or “catch phrase”. Essential to our survival is the belief that we have the ability to reach our goals. Our goals can be as simple as being able to wake up in the morning to believing that we can become the next Tony Robbins or George Bush (yikes)! Let your motto embody your journey.
Trying to come up with your own philosophy on your journey may sound a little daunting, but the reason I want you to do it, is because I want you to motivate yourself the same way I am motivating myself. If it doesn’t work for you, try something else. I have just joined a new training philosophy with the motto, “never, EVER give up” and that phrase is helping to motivate me, but I want to be encouraged by my own words as well.
My new philosophy rides upon my belief that I have been making the same mistakes over and over again in my life and they have never worked. Since the beginning of the year I have been taking my ideas and thought and reversing the ones that have been hurting me and sending me down the wrong road.
My new motto is “The opposite of wrong is right”. For every opportunity I have to make a bad decision in my life, I am now doing the exact opposite in the belief that I will have a more positive result. So far it is working, in all three aspects of my journey.
Mental; I am being more objective, I have more confidence, I am being more open and honest in all areas of my life, I am allowing myself to find happiness in activity rather than in sloth.
Physical; I am off the couch, I am exercising, I am awake, I am moving constantly.
Spiritual; I am revisiting my faith and asking for help with every aspect of my life. I am depending on the invisible hand on my shoulder to gently guide me to my destiny, I believe in what I have been given.
Everything I have been doing wrong, I am now doing the opposite of in order to gain a more positive result. That is my philosophy and my motto is now “the opposite of wrong is right”! What’s your new philosophy going to be, and tell me your motto! Can’t wait to hear from you!!!!
