And many people go through life never getting in touch with their greatness
because of the lack of motivation to push themselves or because they have not
found something that they believe to be worthwhile to challenge them I heard a
poem once it said many a flower has bloomed unceasingly and waste its
sweetness upon the cold desert air as translated that means simply that many a
talented persons have gone unnoticed and the world never had a chance to be
exposed to their talent because that person did not take the time to begin to
express or to demonstrate or to motivate themselves in the direction to bring
that which they came into the universe to bring how can you measure your
motivation how can you evaluate where you are on a scale of 1 to 10
let's do this for ourselves mentally how do you rate yourself from one to ten
your mental attitude about yourself how you feel about you how you feel about
life how do you rate yourself on a scale of one to ten in terms of your physical
appearance in terms of your health do you take care of yourself
are you allowing yourself to get overweight and out of shape are you
conscious of your health are you watching the food that you take into
your body do you make a deliberate effort to exercise you know it was
George Burns he said we cannot help getting older but we don't have to get
old and many of us get old before our time because we don't take time to take
care of ourselves your environment is a very good indicator on a scale of one to
ten is it what you want it to be do you find it desirable are you satisfied the
job a career that you're involved in someone said that eighty-five percent of
the American public unhappy with their jobs are you spending eight hours a day
just doing time doing something that you don't find challenging that does not
make you stretch mentally that does not stimulate you that does not inspire you
something that you don't find a sense of fulfillment in it if you're doing that
day in and day out it has to affect how you feel about yourself your level of
motivation your relationships what kind of impact is that having on your life is
that nourishing or is it a toxic relationship does it drain you or does
it build you up ask yourself that how motivated are you to do something about
it your contribution your actions what are
you giving many people will leave the universe without a trace no one will
know they were here and in fact under their name we could put under they're
not used up
will anybody know that you came this way what contribution are you giving what
will you leave what will be different because you came this way someone once
said that life is our gift to us that God has given us and how we live our
lives is our gift to God what kind of gift
are you formulating is this a gift that you like to take back and do something
else before you turn it in think about that what can we do what are some of the
keys that we can begin to use to motivate ourselves when our batteries
run low because I don't care who you are I don't care what you do at some time
you are going to get tired at the same time you're going to get in a rut seem
like nothing you do works out right and sometimes it just seems like you just
don't have the wherewithal or the will to do anything that sometimes you act
like you're punch-drunk you're just wading through like just doing time day
in and day out looking at nondiscriminatory television anything
that's all just looking and depressed feeling powerless feeling useless and
boy what do you do how do you get yourself out of a rut how do you when
you know you can do more than what you've been doing and you're not doing
it and you're discontented where you are you get angry at yourself how do you get
out of that rut how do you motivate yourself one of the things that we must
do is that we must be involved in working on achieving self mastery you
must work on yourself continuously never be satisfied with yourself always know
that as you invest the effort and time on you that's the greatest ability that
human beings have above animals see a dog can't be anything but a dog tree
can't be anything but a tree human being you've got unlimited potential you can
put effort on you and by concentrating on you and developing you you can
transform your life wherever you are right now so you want to work on
yourself you want to read books that inspire you and motivate you you want to
listen to tapes over and over and over again and I suggest that you listen to
tapes when you first get up in the morning you want to control the spirit
of your day when you first wake up in the morning your mind is operating at
10.5 wave cycles per second that's when the subconscious mind is most
impressionable whatever you hear in the first 20 minutes when you wake up that
will affect the spirit of your day when you listen to tapes listen with relaxed
belief believing that this can happen for you and by listening to them
listening to them over and over and over again and you will get a breakthrough
you can listen to the same tape for months and all of a sudden you hear
something you never heard before it have a special meaning for you or read the
same book over again and you find some special insight you said I can't believe
I didn't see that the first time so you want to be involved in developing
yourself most people won't do that most people won't take that kind of effort
and invest that kind of energy in themselves because they will fall prey
to that conversation within oh don't do that you don't have time you are too
busy you're too caught up in the rat race most people won't do that well they
won't take time to go to lectures they won't take time to go to seminars they
won't take time to go to classes to improve themselves and as you continue
to work on yourself you will begin to expand your vision of yourself you'll
begin to work towards self mastery and you will begin to see it reflect itself
in all the dimensions of your life your mental life your physical life your
social life in your relationships your monetary life so concentrate on
developing yourself because if you don't I guarantee you that you will make a
settlement and most people have and most of us already have what kind of
settlement have you made with your life you know when we make settlements
out-of-court settlements you've heard them that means that you decided to take
something less than what you originally wanted to get had you gone into court
and the reason that you settle outside of court is because you didn't believe
that you can get it so you made an out-of-court settlement
many of us are making in life settlement we're settling for less than what we
actually deserve we don't feel good about it but we make it work at our
minds we'll come up with some kind of excuse to make it all right what kind of
settlement have you made with your life many of us settled for less than what we
want out of relationships because we don't have the courage to change them
I had a seminar used to do call are you living together or dying together many
people are just dying together Gladys Knight used to have a song that says
neither one of us want to be the first to say goodbye
the next thing is in order to begin to find some keys to self motivation to
drive yourself in addition to working on yourself and as you work on yourself you
feel good about yourself and as you feel better about yourself you treat yourself
differently develop a health plan so you can't feel well and do well if you don't
have good health you can't perform if you don't have your health your health
is valuable develop a health plan a plan that you will follow because this is the
only vehicle that you have to carry you through this experience call life and
you want to take good care of it because you love you enough you care enough
about you and that's not easy it is not easy having a health plan and sticking
to it but you're worth it doing it again and
again and again I have lost 22 pounds several times
seven its I always do it I love potato chips people who know me know I love M&M
peanuts I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I love my mother sweet potato
pie I love this it's not always on my health plan but I put it on there
sometimes I said life is too short to go without sweet potato pie if I go tonight
I want you to slip a surprise the sweet potato pie of my casket yeah and watch
the smile of my face
next thing is as you take care of yourself the next key is keys to
motivation to self motivation you want to live life with energy and passion you
want to make a conscious effort to be lively see in life you either saying
hello or goodbye you either on the way or in the way leave that people alone
some folks just walking around looking saying how are you doing honey stay away
from these people just go away from them it affects you
you want to smile you want to be happy you got a lot to be thankful for but you
watch some of the faces around you every day
and I tell you some of these faces they will put you in a depressed state of
mind so you want to avoid these kind of faces when you see them coming turn your
head next thing is that you want to monitor your inner conversations the
things that you say to yourself you want to watch them and in watching them you
want to take charge friend of mine told me this evening as she did it
excellently she said I didn't want to come tonight I was feeling so depressed
and I said I'm going anyhow see that was the conversation so you really don't
feel like it you really don't need to do it you don't
really need to read anything forget all that that's that in a conversation oh
you don't need to worry about trying to go into your own business forget that
you can't do that what if you lose everything you've got
that in a conversation that stopped you from doing the things you want to do
less don't do that how can you possibly think about being a motivational speaker
you don't have the context you don't have the money you don't know the right
people you're gonna get up in your minds gonna go blink forget all that you
remember that time you got up before some people and you panicked you stood
up in your mind set down don't you remember
and I said yes and then I said shut up so you've got to learn to stand up to
yourself inside yourself and short-circuit override that conversation
that's always going on 85% of what that conversation will tell you is negative
it's negative it will tell you you're tired when you really are not tired it
will tell you you can't do it it will fill you with fear so you've got to
watch that conversation and when you find it going on you've got to stand up
to it and say I'm gonna do this anyhow I'm afraid but I'm afraid not to do it
and I'm not going to let you stop me the biggest challenge that you will have
in life is you as an old African proverb that says is there's no enemy within the
enemy outside can do us no harm
the next thing that is a key to self motivation is that you've got to ask
yourself what do I want out of life what do you want out of life what do you want
out of a job what do you want out of career what do you want out of a
relationship what do you want what gives you your life what how will you know
when you got it what will make you happy you need to know you need to start
asking yourself some questions what do I really really truly want you need to be
exact about that don't be vague oh I just want to be happy that's too vague
what will make you happy how will you know when you got it zeroing in on it be
exact be specific and as you do that that will stimulate that super conscious
mind or the reticular activating system of your mind then we'll begin to find
those things to identify with it and once you begin to determine that which
you want take the time to write it down don't just think about it write it down
that is a subjective process that engages the subconscious mind write it
down once you write it down read it three
times a day morning noon and night why is that important because what it will
do it will cause you to focus it will cost you to concentrate when that other
conversation is going on telling you what you cannot do telling you all of
the impossibilities and all of the obstacles you're concentrating will
begin to create a larger vision within yourself and you start looking for and
seeing some new opportunities you start creating some openings for yourself as
you begin to read that every day every day day in and day out that will make
you focus that will discipline your thinking and you'll get all kind of
creative ideas as I talk to you right now being involved in this immersion
process you're going to create some openings for yourself you're gonna get
some ideas you're gonna feel your adrenalin flowing and you're gonna think
about something some idea you had you said I want to go back and I'm gonna
look at that again from a different vantage point not from the level of the
problem of the obstacles that I encountered but from a higher vantage
point because what you will begin to see and to know as I talk to the higher
consciousness within you that you are powerful that you are a miracle worker
and that inner conversation has conditioned you to believe that you're
not and as you begin to discover the truth of who you are whatever challenge
that you're facing in life and if you're living you're facing some challenge you
begin to know that you're powerful and that you're America maker
you
