5 Motivation Myths
There are many reasons people use
for not being motivated to reach for more.
They'll use these reasons again and again,
and stick with them forever. There isn't
much that will make them let go of their
strongly held beliefs about success in life
and why they can't achieve it.
These reasons are merely myths and should
be avoided. Below are five of the
most common myths about motivation and success.
1. IT ISN'T MEANT FOR ME
Many people think that happiness and success
are things that other people can enjoy, but
not themselves. This simply isn't true.
Each person, whether they are happy or unhappy,
has the same amount of time during the day. They
can only do one thing at a time. It is what they
do with that time that makes the difference. You
can do anything you want, if you use your time
wisely. With persistence and desire, you can
accomplish anything.
2. IT ISN'T POSSIBLE
This statement has been used many times
throughout history. Going to the moon isn't
possible. Breaking the 4 minute mile isn't
possible. It doesn't matter what the subject
is, someone has said it can't be done.
After thousands of have proven the naysayers
wrong, don't you think you can do it too?
You can. People have won against the odds
before and they'll do it again.
3. IT'S TOO HARD
When you first think of getting
to work on a goal or project, it
can be a little overwhelming. It
can seem too large for one person
to handle.
After you learn more about it, your
goal becomes more manageable. You
may see a huge shadow of a scary
monster, but you will soon find
that it is only a small kitten
casting that large shadow.
4. IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG
When you think of the end product, the
main goal, it can seem like it will take
a very long time. There is a secret
to making this easier. Break the goal down.
When you have a main goal, break it
down into smaller goals. That way
you'll find success much faster and
more frequently. This will accomplish
two things; you will be motivated to
keep going and you will reach small
successes along the way.
5. I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH
This is one of the deadliest myths.
A lack of confidence can put a quick
and untimely end to thousands of of dreams,
wishes, and goals.
It will take time, patience, and hard
work but you will learn. If you
are dedicated to succeeding, you'll
put in the time, and you'll have
the knowledge and confidence to carry
through until the end.
Now you know the myths and the truths.
No more excuses, only successes. Set
your goals, get moving, and smile
on your continuing success!
