Every person has a vast resource of untapped power. Learning how to identify and direct this potential through persistence and proper action will unleash a powerful motivation. We all have this special motivation and all the success and happiness we achieve in life is a result of this powerful motivating force.
This powerful force is an inherent Joe Morgan Reds Jersey , ?already there? motivation you have to achieve something in life you really want. It is a force that is already within you, that drives you to get what you truly want. Motivation from an outside source does not have a lasting effect, if any at all and this outside motivation usually only scratches the surface, with little or no lasting power.
Where does this powerful motivating force come from? It comes from our ?core desires.? A core desire is a genuine, clearly defined want that causes us to be willing to put forth the effort necessary to make that desire become reality Johnny Bench Reds Jersey , even when it means overcoming insurmountable or seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A core desire is not just a wish, a dream, or a hope. It's a powerful deep want.
We all have core desires. They exist in the lives of every one of us. But most people's core desires never become reality, because they never discover what they are.
To discover what your core values are you need to make a list of everything you think that you'd really like to have or do. Don't list anything that you 'should? or ?ought to? do. Don't list what someone else wants you to do. Don't list things that would be nice to have or do. Try to be honest with yourself. List only those things that you know, to the best of your ability that you'd really like to have.
Next Tom Seaver Youth Jersey , clearly define what you think you have to do to get what you've listed. In other words, what are going to have to do to achieve your core desire? This won't be easy, because you won't always know how to do what it takes.
If you're not willing to make a plan for achieving an item on your list, then it isn't a genuine core desire, and the motivating force to get it won't be there. So Ken Griffey Youth Jersey , take it off your list. Be careful not to be too hasty in deleting an item just because you don't immediately see how you're going to get it. If you act too hastily, you may miss one of your core desires.
Not knowing how to do something doesn't mean that you don't want it. Don't place any limitations on yourself as you go through this process. If you can't see how you're going to achieve a core desire easily and quickly, don't assume that it isn't a core desire. It is only when you're willing to give up or quit on it that you can determine that it isn't a genuine core desire.
In deciding what to include on your list, one of your criteria should be what you would do if money were not an issue. Ask yourself: ?What would I like to be doing in this area of my life if money were not in issue?? This question frees up your thinking to be as big as you want it to be.
Some other questions you should ask yourself to determine if something is a genuine core desire are: ?What would I do if only I had the time.? ?What makes me laugh?? ?What did I enjoy doing when I was a young adult?? ?If I could have anything I wanted, what would it be??
It's important that you do not put any limits on your thinking Tony Perez Youth Jersey , instead try to be as honest and introspective as possible. It doesn't matter what your core desire is. If the desire is great enough then you want to do it. Remember when you're working toward a genuine core desire, your motivation will automatically engage. Then you will have the power to act effectively to get what you want.
Here are five ways that will help you clearly define the direction you must take to get that core desire you want:
1. Use mentors. If you want to know how to do something, talk to people who are skilled in or successful at it. Ask them how to do it. For example, if you want to make $300,000 a year Reggie Sanders Youth Jersey , don't ask someone who is earning $50,000 to teach you. He or she will be able to teach you only how they got to their level of income.
2. Become an avid reader. For every core desire there is at least one if not multiple books on the subject. There is at least one of more publications or industry trade journals on your core desire as well.
3. Listen to audio programs. There are thousands of CD's and DVD's available, pertaining to nearly every area of life, to help you achieve your core desires.
4. Attend seminars on a regular basis. Attend as many as you can every year, at least four a year. Just be sure that the seminar is in the same field as is one of your genuine core desires.
5. Take educational courses. Courses are potentially among the most powerful and helpful experiences you will ever have. They typically last two to five days and are designed to help you overcome personal obstacles that hinder your growth Chris Sabo Youth Jersey , that keep you stuck, and limit your power to achieve your core desires. Before you take any course, be sure that it's a reputable one and that it will help you to achieve one of your core desires.
There will always be risks and obstacles in achieving your core desires. There will be risks and problems in every area of your life, including financial. You cannot let them stop you. It's a fact that when you're working toward a genuine core desire, fear is not a limiting force anymore. If it's a genuine core desire George Foster Youth Jersey , fear will not stop you. You might have some doubts. You might even have a great deal of fear every now and then, but you won't let doubts and fear stop you. You'll do it anyway.
The reason why most people give up or quit is that their supposed core desire is, in realty, not genuine. It's doesn't radiate an all encompassing motivational force. When it is genuine core desire it may take several shots and adjustments before you achieve it, but you will achieve it.
