Fwd: here’s the secret to motivation (hit, it doesn’t just come to you) Pt.3

Sean here with a concept that hit me like a ton of bricks, it started me down a path that I can trace almost all the success in my business back to. Motivation isn't about your thoughts or even your feelings. Motivation is a result of actions. However, action isn't something our brain gets excited about. In fact, our brain actively fights against it... Our brain craves drama, distractions, and chaos… and that will drive a cycle of demotivation: When you're trying something new your brain starts to scream things like: You're not the kind of person who finishes things… You shouldn't even give it a try because it's just a waste of time… You're not good enough, you've made too many mistakes, it's not worth it… Tired of those kinds of thoughts clouding your mind? Paralyzing your ability to even take the first step? Well, today we're going to walk through EXACTLY the steps you need to take to bypass those paralyzing thoughts and start getting important things done. Here's what most people don't understand: Motivation isn't a feeling per say… it's a result; a result of taking action. You see, most people think that motivation just comes to you out of the blue, that you have to wait to have it before you can start. In reality, it's been shown over and over again that the "feeling" of motivation is created when we take the first step towards completion of our goals. After that first step, motivation can breed more motivation. Creating a positive cycle in our lives of momentum. "Do the thing, and you shall have the power." – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

That simple thing might seem obvious, but it is one of the most difficult things for us to find in this distraction driven world. Rules. Yes, they're boring… Yes, they can seem like no fun… But they are the critical missing thing in our hunt for motivation. How? We'll check this out… As you can see – OUR OBJECTIVE gives value to OUR RULES which drive OUR ACTIONS. If you have a clear objective the next step is to give yourself rules, these rules will serve as the true foundation for taking that first step. Click here to read the article.

The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." -Jim Rohn --- Which pain would you rather endure? The beauty of discipline is it's a "pain" that becomes a joy the more we do it.
