Daily motivation - 30 July, 2008

Think and imagine the time when you are very happy because you had just had victory in your life. Think about the past time when you were in full power and at peak performance. Think about when you have done something very well and successfully, when there is no time for you to have failure. Victory by victory have been achieved by you.

Unfortunately many people, perhaps you forget it so easily. If you don’t believe with what I am saying, please remember the times when you reached your victories or when you did something successfully. I think you feel hard to remember that, right?

Then think of times when you always did something wrong, when everything did not go well as you wished it did, when you thought you failed in everything you did. I believe you remember that easily. But, what I have just said it not always true, because you can know that it is indicator to measure how you will be the future.

If you think about your failure more frequently, you are likely to achieve more failure in your life because you have put your focus by remembering your past failures you had done. Meanwhile, if you think and remember more of your past success, you are likely to achieve more success and victories in your life, either.

Here is one tip for you to collect and remember more success and victories. Once you think that you have done something well or extremely well, you need to celebrate it. No matter if it is small success or great success, you need to celebrate it like you do at your birthday. It is simply because by doing such a thing, you will feel good about yourself, you will love yourself. Every success you celebrate will boost and drive you to more and more success.

You can do anything to do celebration. You can eat at a restaurant, buy yourself gifts or presents or awards, or anything you like. It is up to you. Once you celebrate your victory or success, you are going to be more motivated to achieve other victories because celebration makes you feel happy and good. It makes you want to feel happier and better. Success and victories are more easily achieve when you are happy and feel good about yourself. Your peak performance to achieve success can be reached by high motivation, not low motivation. Nobody can achieve good things in life by being negative.

Don’t ever celebrate failures by remembering them all day long and blaming yourself by giving thousands of negative words. It does not help you better. It is far better for you to celebrate your victory. Whenever you grab success and victory, celebrate it. Get success and then go celebrate it. Let’s get the victories and celebration started.

Norman Vincent Peale in his book PLUS FACTOR, talked about his experience when he was on the journey in Hongkong. He walked on a tight alley and was interested when his eyes shot a shop that offered tattoo carving. There were so many kinds of nice tattoo models, but he was silent and did keep quiet when he saw a tattoo model with word “Born To Lose”.

Being interested with that unique tattoo model, he then asked the shop owner whether there was someone wanted to order this model. And the shop owner replied, “Yes. There were some people asking me to carve tattoo on their body with this word.” Listening to the answer, he shook his head as a sign of not believing there were some crazy people who wanted to do that. Then the shop owner spoke in English not-so-fluently while he was clapping his forehead and said, “Before tattoo on body, tattoo on mind.” That means before they carved tattoo on their body, they had carved tattoo on their mind first.

It is absolutely true that what you are thinking about will affect your feeling and that’s something that affects you in making decision to take action. Your success begins when you have first made a tattoo on your mind with word like “I am successful”. Your success begins when you are able to feel and see your success even if it’s not already come true. This is the power of seeing the invisible. Before what you are thinking and dreaming about come into reality, you must make it a reality on your mind. You have to make or carve a positive or success-oriented tattoo on your mind, so it will affect your feeling and action towards your success.

If you think that you make more negative or failure-oriented tattoo on your mind, rush; remove those tattoos before they affect you. While tattoo on the body cannot be removed, you are free and have full authority to remove tattoo on your mind because it is your mind, not belongs to other. You have the power to remove and change them with positive, uplifting and success-supported tattoo. Don’t make a fool on yourself by carving your precious mind with dirty rubbish. If you believe you are the winner and champion of our own life, you have made a tattoo on your mind with word “I am the winner and champion”. If you believe that you are a loser and do not deserve success, it means you have carved you mind with very bad tattoo on your mind, either.

Once again, believe in yourself and make more positive, uplifting, success-oriented, motivational and inspirational tattoos and let them drive you fast into great success.

Daily Motivation - July 20, 2008

Do you have low self-esteem? Or do you always think and believe that you are not eligible or qualified for success that can possibly be achieved by you? Or do you think that you do not have the ability and capacity to the dreams or goals you wish so much?

If so, you need to raise your self-esteem. Your high self-esteem can make you feel confident enough in doing something towards your success. If you feel confident, everything is going to be easy for you. If you don’t, you will think that you just waste your time and a lot of energy just to achieve something that you think is impossible or out of your reach. This is because you do not have good self-esteem and finally lower your own value.

But, self-esteem is definitely something you can work on. Try these tips below to boost your self-esteem:

• Do something challenging – Do something you would normally think you couldn’t do. That might be as small as reading Romeo and Juliet or as extreme as doing something difficult. Whatever it is, push your boundaries and when you succeed at it you will like yourself more. Once you succeed in finishing it, you will have more confidence to do something bigger in you life. And it will make your self-esteem higher.
• Do some volunteer work – Besides being a great way to help others and meet potential dates (if you are lucky), you will garner appreciation for your work and who you are. This is certain to boost your self-esteem because you give more value to the life of others and you give more value of yourself.
• Practise positive self talk – Every day we look in the mirror at least once and some of us forty times or more. Each time we look in the mirror we tell ourselves things. The self-talk can be positive or negative. People tend to be negative in their self-talk that creates low self-esteem, but you have a choice. Make an effort to say positive things about yourself when you look in the mirror.
• Develop your strength – Instead of thinking about what you are unable to do or your weakness, try to think about your strength or something you are proud of. Develop your strength so it can empower you to raise your self-esteem. Develop it to cover your weakness instead of develop your weakness to cover your strength.

Daily Motivation - July 16, 2008

Optimist is a state describing that you have strong belief and faith, positive thinking that everything is going to be OK and that what you wish, hope and dream will be achieved. It is totally different with pessimist that is a state describing that you have lack of confidence, belief, faith and positive thinking that everything is not good.

From that difference, you can decide that those who are successful are optimist ones and those who are unsuccessful are pessimist ones.

Optimists see the good in bad situations;
Pessimists see the bad in good situations.

Optimists feel they can control their destiny;
Pessimists believe they are controlled by their destiny.

Optimists turn minor setbacks into victories;
Pessimists turn them into disasters.

Optimists say, “If you don’t succeed at first, then try again.”
Pessimists say, “I would prefer watch the game from the stand, then keep striking out all the time.”

Optimists love to break through barriers;
Pessimists say, “Why don’t breaks ever come my way?”

Optimists see defeats as temporary setback;
Pessimists see them as recurring events to be endured.

Optimists like to rub shoulder with positive-thinking people;
Pessimists prefer to hang around with cynics and complainers.

Optimists can carry bumper sticker that read “Isn’t life grand?”
Pessimists prefer, “Life is a drug, and then you die.”

Optimists always expect the best in every aspect of life.
Pessimists always expect something bad happens in their life.

Optimists believe in great achievement, even when it seems to be impossible.
Pessimists give up too soon.

Optimists will finally achieve everything in life.
Pessimists will achieve nothing.

Optimists never let failure stops them from trying one more time.
Pessimists make it as the reason for not to succeed.

So now, you can decide what type you are. If your dominant type is optimist one, congratulation. You are on the right track on the success you desire. If you don’t, change it. Everything can be changed. Change is everlasting.

4 success factors are…

Do you have big plan or something you want so much to be achieved, but you have never realized them? Don’t worry, majority of people have many things to be achieved, but they do not take any action to make them happen. And finally, you procrastinate until they are buried deep away from yourself. That makes you never take the first action or step and cause you will unable to finish.

Norman Vincent Peale said that every person have the capacity to do whatever he wants to do. And there are 4 factors that determine how big you can achieve.

1. Desire
2. Faith
3. Persistent Effort
4. Ability

Many people lack of the first 3 factors above. In this case, if they have great Ability, it will not be helpful for them. The important thing is that you have to focus on the three factors and soon you are going to be amazed with the result you have achieved.

Do not imagine hard and difficult jobs will wait in the future, because that will make you stop or even step back from your quest of your goals. Just focus on what you can do that day because you have other tasks to be done tomorrow. Don’t worry about future. The past is history, the future is mystery. You have no control for that, you can only control NOW. Focus on what you can do NOW.

Another tip you can do is reading my previous article entitled “Daily Motivation – Warning: US $100,000 Success Secret”. It teaches you how to set lists of what you have to do in a day.

If you make it a habit of your own, you will be more productive and everything will be easier.

Please take a look at the poem by Dena DiIaconi below.

Believe in yourself, and remember that

Anything is possible.

Believe in what makes you feel good.

Believe in what makes you happy.

Believe in the dreams you have always wanted to come true,

And give them every chance to.

Life holds no promises,

as to what will come your way.

You must search for your own ideals,

And work towards reaching them.

Life makes no guarantee as to what you will have.

It just gives you time to make choice and to take chances,

and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.

If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given,

and utilize the abilities you have,

you will constantly fill your life,

with special moments and unforgettable times.

No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,

but for those who are willing to believe in their dreams and

in themselves,

life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

Those who are unsuccessful believe what they are dreaming and wishing is impossible to achieve. They believe that it is possible for them to meet failure because they do not believe that they can be successful like those who are successful do.

I believe that you have heard so many times that everything is possible. No matter what you dreams, goals or visions are, it possible to be achieved. Look at airplane, cell phone, light bulbs, human landing on the moon and many more. Do they exist before they are invented? Many people laughed at them who were willing to prove that they were able to realize their dreams. Some even thought they were insane and mentally sick. But, look at today. All come true. Something that seems to be impossible and hard to be achieved can be well done. Ask yourself, you want success and many have achieved it. That means it is very very impossible for you, too, to be what your dreams are.

So, don’t you ever say it is impossible, say that it is very possible because everything and anything is possible. That is the fact.
