DON'T LIVE A COMFORTABLE LIFE- SELF DISCIPLINE MOTIVATION
It’s time for you to recognize the person that you are being not the person that you have to be. It’s time for you to be more motivated
than you've ever been in your entire life rather than settling for what you
have.
Chances are you
didn't wake up one day and think I just want to be a mediocre person; I want to
be like everybody else. No, you had a burning desire to learn, grow, and
evolve. The problem is that you settled into a world that said it's okay to be
comfortable, it's okay to stay where you are. But the fact is if you're staying
where you are you're going backward.
You see to be motivated means to move through things. The word motivation comes from the Latin of motive. What is your motive for doing what you're doing? Let’s be honest you have goals, you have dreams, you have ambitions.
We all do we are what
the Greeks called teleological. We are goal-centered creatures, we need
targets, things to aim for but most of us are just settling for things that
don't give us the greatest joy the fact is we are all here to grow to evolve. And
to contribute Jim Rohn famously said that the difference between us and all of
the other animals on the planet is that we have the dignity of choice.
a tree doesn't think
to itself well you know what I've had enough of growing I'm just gonna stay
here. No, it does what it is meant to do. Every living soul every living cell
lives for one reason it lives to grow, to express itself fully.
Every day when we're
not allowing ourselves to be who we are truly capable of being there is a part
of us that is dying. the question I want to ask you right now is who do you
want to become?
What is it that you want to leave on this earth? in the book
the seven habits of highly effective people by dr Stephen covey, he talks about
the first two habits to be proactive, to be active to have the motivation to
move through. But the biggest challenge that we all face in moving through life
is the challenges that we have going on inside our own mind.
A part of us that
wants us to stay where we are to stay with what is familiar to stay with what
is comfortable to us. there is a disease in the world right now and it's called
being comfortable, settling for what you have. We are not settlers, we are
hunters, we are gatherers. we are designed to move to evolve to move through the biggest battle we will ever face and it's the battle inside
our mind.
Right now or tomorrow
when you wake up the battle begins with a part of you that is motivated to keep
you where you are. and another part that wants you to get up and get on and
make your life and the world a better place.
The second habit in
the seven habits of highly effective people is, to begin with, the end in mind.
the end of what? the day, the week, the month. No, your life. your life is
running out and what do you want the legacy of your life to take a moment
now to imagine being at your own funeral.
what do you want people to be saying about you what is the
impact that you want to have seen when you start to think about the end in mind
you can start to allow yourself to be motivated to go out and create, to go and
close the gap between where you are and where you're capable of being.
From my experience of having worked in the field of personal
development for over 30 years, I can tell you that the majority of people are
suffering right now. because they're settling for a life of mediocrity, they're
settling to be stuck in the middle of a rugged mountain which is what the word
means.
You are here to grow
and it's time for you to recognize that your future is unwritten. and you have
the power to change. today make that commitment to no longer live life by
chance, but to live an extraordinary life by design.
As you think about
advancing, evolving, and getting better, to be motivated isn't a destination
it's a commitment to get better. and every single day you're not gonna feel
like doing so many things and that is what the disease of being comfortable has
done. it has made so many of us go well you know what I just don't feel like it.
say this right now, what is not feeling like anything got to do with what I
need to do based on who I want to become?
It’s time for you to
recognize and create a new identity. the word identity really means you
identify with the person that you are. the person you have practiced being and
all you're doing are recreating that with a new identity, with the version of
yourself that you are inspired and motivated to go and carve out. Every single
day your future is unwritten. and you have the power to change.
It’s time for you not
just to be a hero, in the beginning, it's time for you to be a hero every single
day. as you turn down the voice, the voice of stay where you are don't do this
it's not worth it and turns up the genius inside you, the guiding voice that
wants you to advance, wants you to be motivated to go out and make you and the
lives of people around you better.
Thousands of years
ago it was recognized that people would start things with great intentions to
be a hero in the beginning, only for their enthusiasm to go out the back door
before they knew it it's time for you to rise up. and move to a place that
you've not gone before to boldly go where you have not gone before.
It’s time for you to
be an example not just to yourself but all the people around you that are
settling for a life of unfulfillment, dissatisfaction. it's a time like never
before for you to have the motive, for you to be motivated to go above and
beyond anything that you have done before. let's do this.
