Simply some keys to self motivation and all of us have motivation of some sort I
define motivation as the desire to achieve that which you believe to be
worthwhile 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 believed 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 one
to ten 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 85% 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 but 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 that 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
were unload 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 some 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 during time day
in and day out looking at nondiscriminatory television anything
that's all just looking
and the press feeling powerless feeling useless and bored 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 in 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 listen 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
you don't have time you were 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 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 settled 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 in 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 settle 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
separates 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 us with twice 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 say 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 panic you stood up in your mind set down
don't you remember 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 its negative it will tell you you're
tied 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 going to 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 there's 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 zero 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 that will 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
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 cause 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 adrenaline flowing and you're gonna
think about something some idea you had you said I want to go back and I'm going
to 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 them to know as I have talked 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'll begin to know that you're powerful and that you're America maker
so as you begin to write down exactly what it is that you want read it every
day the next thing is see yourself there how will you feel once you get there
what will the experience be like for you what will be different what kind of
person do you have to become in order to get there visualize yourself there
living the experience I remember when I ran for State Representative in Columbus
Ohio and I had a lot of people telling me and you got to watch not only the
conversation within but conversation without telling me less you
can't possibly win you can't do that and I went down to the legislature and I saw
myself I knew what I wanted I saw myself in the chair I pointed out the chair
that I wanted I used to go and set up in the galleries and watch the legislative
process I used to go to the committee meetings and listen to legislation being
introduced I learned how to write legislation how to amend legislation I
start thinking like a legislator got up every day dressing thinking like that
selling myself on it seeing myself in the legislature mr. speaker I'm the
gentleman from the 29th House District I'd like to introduce the bill I went in
the legislature walk around I had the experience of it and when I ran and won
against overwhelming odds they were shocked I won the election even before
it was held because I was living it in my mind you want to see yourself beyond
your circumstances you got a challenge see yourself beyond your challenge see
yourself with the challenge already resolved and knowing that all as well
seeing yourself in control and in charge of your destiny being healthy and happy
the next thing is it is important in the area of motivating yourself it's
important to know why you're doing it because that mind will say why bother
why go through all this this is too hard no throw in the towel it's not worth it
but has it ever said that to you before here's how you can handle that here's
how you override that write down five reasons why you deserve it why do you
deserve what you want why are you why do you deserve it what meaning and value
will it bring to your life what's so different about you that you deserve
your goal of this goal and when you write down those five reasons when you
have some down moments and you're going to have them when that conversation
start talking to you and it's going to talk to you what you will do is you can
pull that out in and it will build you up it will be your
rod and your staff to comfort you through some challenging moments because
you're gonna have some life will knock you between the eyes it will catch you
on the blindside come out of nowhere stuff you can't anticipate that will
knock the win out of you you want to give up that's why it's important for
you to work on yourself listening to tapes building yourself up talking to
yourself with power feeling and conviction building yourself up day in
and day out because it's coming I
guarantee you life is just waiting oh he's doing good now huh very good I've
never had an experience I was pursuing my dream and that's why you have to work
on yourself you don't know what's going to happen
and I was telling people I had this big rally I had to do was 5,000 people there
and I said you must work on yourself if you want a larger vision you've got to
empower yourself continuously because life will catch you on the blindside and
after I finished my speech I got a rousing standing ovation and I wouldn't
call the young lady that I was dating at the time I said hey guess what I said
they love me I got a standing ovation and they were chanting we want the
motivator we want the motivator I said listen we want to motivate we
want do you hear she said yes unless I need to talk to you I've been wait a
minute you were talking about tough I was get though and I'll be also less I
heard a voice in background hurry up and tell him who's that
last time you've been gone a lot in there's somebody else what they came in
last come on mr. motivator they want you back out there
wait a minute all of the Honan why don't you say I'm sorry that someone hasn't
heard his voice they hang the phone oh come on I say what are they gonna say
hey hey motivator come on they want you catch you have chair I say
okay I said when you working on a larger vision I say you you got a really work
on yourself good light will catch you the blindside
I say you better be ready and you better make sure you want it cause it'll make
you cry if somebody said the spirit is on him thank you thank you thank you
thank you I was talking to this not blinking the
light they had to come for me all but I say you gotta have a larger vision you
make sure you make sure you work on yourself I said come over surround come
oh yeah I went back to my hotel room and loneliness and heartbreak was
sitting on the beds that are you coming in now do you have your larger vision
now how's your positive attitude say get on in here are you still breathing
yep shut up no you want your go not Oh we'll just go Donald
light will wear you out you'll be saying no I can't it no how are you try to read
it can't see that through the tears I went running through the drawers in this
hotel trying to find a Gideon Bible anything you know I said somebody
anybody help me Yahweh Yahoo anybody so boy I tell you that's why you got to
work on your stuff good life we'll send you some curves
you cannot anticipate the next thing is that whatever you do you want to develop
technical mastery you want to be the best at what you do you want to master
it see part of self motivation is you've got to find something that gives you a
strong sense of competence will you become known for that you develop a
reputation of being good at doing that you set some high personal standards for
yourself you're not competing with anybody else you're just unfolding
yourself to be the best person that you could be that you want to give the best
quality service that you can give because that is a statement about who
you are the other thing that's the key to self
motivation is recognize the fact that you're going to get into some slumps who
recognize the fact that you're going to encounter a great deal
of failure in life it goes with the territory but in the face of that you
want to be relentless when you want something you can don't expect everybody
to say oh come on it we've been oh you want this oh great we want to give this
to you you're such a nice person you're doing it for your family aren't you gray
now don't like this and like that no many doors will be closed in your face
many loans that you'll want they say no you don't have enough collateral you
don't have enough credit and most people will give up but you've got to decide
that I'm going to be fearless I refuse to be tonight and I'm going to
go all out I'm going to be rid of LITTLEST I don't
care how many nose I encounter I like something Isaiah Thomas said when it's
getting ready for a basketball game he said I'm gonna either shoot us in or
shoot us out but I'm not going to not do anything and that's the way to go
you can't make a basket unless you shoot the ball you can't hit a homerun unless
you take a swing at it most people won't even take a swing well I probably won't
make it anyhow that's the conversation within they probably won't give it to me
anyhow if you want something you've got to be relentless you've got to decide I
deserve this and I'm going to have it and you go all out to get it that drives
you the next thing is that when you want something out of life you've got to be
willing to go into action don't wait around for things to be just right don't
wait for things to be perfect don't wait for the ideal situation it will never be
ideal there will always be a reason well as soon as the children grow up as soon
as I pay my bills well soon as I get my divorce okay as soon as I get enough
money together do what you can where you are with what you have and never be
satisfied a lot of people never take a chance in life they don't want to take
any chances they want the situation to be ideal see that's not walking by faith
that's walking by sight if I can see it I'll do it no no no glass a lot of
people say if I can see it I'll believe it no no if you believe it you can see
it
and don't be disturbed because no one else can see it that's not unusual that
is ordinary but because you want some different kind of results in your life
you've got to be willing to be unreasonable if you want unreasonable
results in your life you've got to be willing to be unreasonable part of being
unreasonable you don't judge according to appearances part of being
unreasonable you can see it because you believe it that's part of being
unreasonable part of being unreasonable you like Paulo said you must have the
faith to call for those things that be not as though they were that's part of
being unreasonable most people won't do that most people
say call me when you get it together
then I'll support you the other thing is that what are the keys to self
motivation that empowers you is that you want to find a cause larger than
yourself find something that you can contribute you find something that you
can make a difference because you can part of what feeds your larger vision
part of what gives you a reason for being part of what gives you your life
is being able to give something back so I can't afford to give anything you
can't afford not to give give your time give your television uh thing just to go
and lick envelopes I don't know exactly what I'm going to do but I'm going over
there it's part of my timing in the universe once you develop that that
special sense of mission and that's what you develop when you're part of a larger
cause than yourself it drives you you don't need an alarm
clock to get up in the morning you have special power you go places and folk
will like to be around you they will know there's something different about
you when you go in they say hey that's somebody important I want to know who
you are I just want to be near you that energy
that you have that consciousness that you will embody will affect everybody
around you the next thing is is that you want to create a home court
advantage for yourself you've got to be aware of who you have around you so you
want to be selective have friends that will enable you to grow I have friends
that help me to grow spiritually these are my spiritual friends I talk
spiritual stuff with them I have some other friends who are just intellectual
friends they make me grow intellectually they make me stretch I have some
professional friends I'm a member of the National Speakers Association I get
together with other speakers and we learn from each other and we grow from
each other I have other friends suggest social friends all we do is just
socialize together we look at a basketball game together or go out
dancing but that's all we can do we don't talk anything serious nothing
spiritual nothing intellectual that's not that kind of relationship nothing
heavy up in here have other friends we walk together that's all we can do walk
together talk about if we're going to lose weight one day bye and bye for good
all right that's all we do nothing else so according to the relationships that
you develop we grow from people and projects and the relationships that you
develop can enhance and can enrich your life or they can drain you I know many
talented people who had a great deal of potential but because they didn't
surround themselves with other people that will inspire them to transcend
themselves they never realize their greatness and they will end up going to
their grave with all their good stuff still in them so you want to look at
your relationships the people that you're involved with the people that you
communicate with almost often and you want to ask yourself the question what
am i becoming because of this relationship desert in farming am i
motivated am i encouraged am i driven to develop myself am i seeking my own
greatness what kind of person am i becoming because of this relationship am
i becoming more cynical and negative about life
ask yourself that the next thing is you've got to say yes to your life
you've got to say yes yes to my dreams yes to me yes I can make it yes I can
doesn't matter how many failures I've made doesn't matter how many mistakes
I've endured doesn't matter about my defeats doesn't matter about what I've
done yes yes I don't care about the fact I'm
in a hole now doesn't matter about where I am yes the last chapter to my life has
not been written yet if you judge me now you'll judge me prematurely
I haven't exposed all my stuff yet I'm still in the process of transforming my
life I'm still in the process of becoming yes I have somebody in my life
at one time told me you'll never make and I said how sure and I'm what
energized me what motivated me was something that Frank Sinatra said he
said the best revenge is massive success
I'll show you you just watched my smoke as old folks used to say
so say yes stand up for your dreams stand up for what you want in your life
decide that your life is so meaningful to you that you love you and you love
life so much that you're going to stand up for something you want I used to have
a saying when I was on the radio stand up for what you believe in because you
can fall for anything so what I say to you this evening that you are powerful
you have miracle-working power in your life right now but you've got to work on
yourself you've got to develop yourself you've got to talk to yourself day in
and day out selling yourself on you and on your potentials and you've got to
know that that you are worth all of your effort
and that the key to your motivation as you get a larger vision of yourself is
to know that you have something to give is to know that you have a reason for
being in the universe at this point in time I want you to stand up for your
life right now anybody want to stand up for your life stand up be a dream
