Motivation is the act of inspiring others to be what we know they can be, can do and can have.
It is the ability to help bring out the greatness in others.
You know most humans tend to see only the worst in others and themselves, as such; they devalue rather than promote what they carry.
The best way to bring out the best in others, be it our spouse, children, friends, workers, students, followers and lots more is not to point out the worst in them but to expect the best from them.
Average and mediocre people can accomplish extraordinary things and confound themselves if they discover someone who believes in them.
Do you know that Isaac Newton was a poor student and that Thomas Edison was referred as ‘dumb and block headed’ by his teachers?
Do you know that Leo Tolstoy was thrown out of college and Walt Disney was thrown out of his job by a newspaper editor because he had “no good ideas?”
What changed the fortune of these individuals and many more was simple.
Along the line they met with personalities who believed in them.
Yes…you cannot soar like Eagles hanging around Chickens.
Iron sharpens iron . Who are your mentors, heroes, father figures, teachers, role models?
Where do you go to receive inspiration and encouragement?
If you are too proud to look up to others, you will reach your destiny too late.
Inspiration without perspiration leads to desperation.
I agree with Mohammed Ali,
“Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact.
It’s an opinion.
Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
You are a unique champion.
Think and act like the king, queen, prince or princess you are.
Politely endure criticisms without being resentful but don’t forget to live your life on your terms.
You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great.
