Discover 4 Killers of Motivation - By: Jed McCall

You must avoid them like a swarm of nasty stinging hornets! If your motivation is on a see-saw, up and down never constant, have you ever tried to pinpoint why that is and tried to change ? Many times you will have read about the force of the negative and the power of the positive, they move back and forth one against the other.

There is another way to look at this - Reality - yes take a reality check and recognise that the world is a big mirror reflecting back to us what ever we project to the world. Understand this one idea and find your most empowering mindset possible - the world is yours for the taking.

To bring about great change you will need to take great action - but not all at once. Think about the see-saw of life, if two people sit on one end, the other end can only be up in the air, however if you add a little more weight to each end you will maintain balance. To obtain balance you move and change small managable pieces of your life at a time.

Once you fall into any of the following traps, you can instantly lose your energy and drive so essential to getting you moving:

1. You Desire More - you want to live a fulfilling life full of the good things, just wanting this is not enough, want is insufficient to motivate you and move you forward. You must have a clear and vivid picture of what you want to achieve, a specific target, your goal must be so clear and real to you that you can see, touch and taste it.

You want to start your own home based business or get in shape and lose a few inches. Turn these desires into a vivid picture that you have broken down into small steps, the small steps necessary to reach your goals. Spend as much time as you need to investigate what you have to do to make these changes and work them into a clear vision of your future.

2. Reasons and Excuses - For you to get from where you are now to where you want to be, will mean change, taking some risks and feeling uncomfortable. These things put people off and they come up with excuses and reasons not to do anything at all, including their plan of change.

As soon as an excuse comes to mind all of the energy and drive to move you forward will disappear. To avoid this happening, pull your favourite excuse out into the open (you know which excuses I mean), and hammer them into the dust with facts that prove these reasons to be fake.

3. A Stumble On The Road - The most frequent and important trap to beware of. The smallest setback is often enough to bring all your desires for change to a shuddering halt. You need to play some mind games and tell yourself regularly, that a stumble along the road is part of the learning process and necessary to bring more insight into your journey.

4. What No Results - Following your strategy closely but not getting results, you could be following the wrong road map. Your motivation will disappear and your strategy will be abandoned. The problem is your goal is right, your path is wrong. Re-visit the plan, do not abandon the goal that could bring you untold happiness. If you can see the moves to bring the plan around, great. Otherwise follow the strategy of someone who has already achieved what you desire.
