Quote: Twenty Years From Now …

Quotes

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover.”
– Mark Twain

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Health Pursuit Blog

In today’s animated video, Dan Pink speaks about the truth behind what really motivates us to perform better, at home and in the work place.

Here are three aspects he discusses:

  1. A couple of US studies which call into question that:
    1. If you reward something your get more of the behaviour you want, and
    2. If you punish something you get less of it.
  2. 3 essential motivation factors which lead to better performance and personal satisfaction.
  3. How problems start to arise when the profit motive becomes unhinged from the purpose motive

In order to successfully achieve your goals, dreams and aspirations, it is essential that you are aligned with what really motivates you.  If not you’ll struggle to achieve your goals.

Needs some assistance to create goals which really motivate you?  To empower you to transform your results and achieve greater success?  If so,  then I’d love to help you.  Please contact me now by clicking here so we can discuss options for achieve your goals.

Overcoming Obstacles Is Part Of Achieving Goals

Everybody has obstacles to over come in their life.  Some make excuses while some do whatever it takes to get past them.

If you have important goals to achieve, it is important that you learn to let go of excuses and resolve the obstacles.  Otherwise you get frustrated and won’t get very far.

Watch this great short video adopted from Steven Claunch’s “Overcoming Obstacles” talk.

Watch the video to hear his inspirational words on this topic.  He’s an inspiring young man with a great message.

Remember, if you want to empower yourself to transform your results and achieve more goal success, then you need to get better at overcoming obstacles.

5 Obstacles To Resolve When Setting Goals

Setting new goals can be exiting.  They can also feel a bit intimidating if they are big enough.  Either way, if you want to successfully achieve your goals, you will have to make some changes.  And here is where the challenge of obstacles begins.

Achieving Goals Requires You To Make Some Changes

Making changes requires you to stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone, in order to make progress.  It requires you to replace old habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting with new ones.  As you move beyond your old patterns, your old comfortable ways  will be challenged, making you uncomfortable.  It’s essential to push through the discomfort so that you can undertake the new habits long enough to break the old habits.
