Recently, i finished reading " 100 ways to motivate yourself " by Steve Chandler and i find it very inspiring and provide the catalyst to success by first keep yourself motivated. Below are the summary and excerpts from the book.)
1)Get on your deathbed
Imagine yourself going to pass away in no time. What will you be thinking?
Most of us will feel a tinge of regret for not accomplishing our goals and dreams
So we should do what we want today as if we will not be able to do that tomorrow
By programming your mind in this way , you will aware of the gift of life.
2)Stay hungry
We must have desire to succeed
By creating a vision of what we want to be, we will be motivated by our vision and goals.
In long term, we will then live into the picture as if it is already true
3) Tell yourself a lie
Lying to yourself by creating a vision of who we want to be, mke it as great as possible
Fake it until you make it
4) Keep your eye on the price
Focus on what you want
keep reminding yourself what you want in life
Focus on what we want instead of negative possibilities
5) Learn to sweat in peace
Push yourself as hard as possible. ( not over the limit)
Remember " the harder you are on yourself, the easier life is on you"
Pick out something harder than usual to do, confront the challenge instead of letting challenges to confront you
6)Simplify your life
Weed out all the activities that dont contribute to your projected goal to reduce distraction
Combine your task to simplify it
7) Look for the gold
See the best in others
See life as full of happiness
See opportunities in every crisis
Remember " What you are is What you see "
8)Push all the button
Prepare all the material that motivate you so that you are motivated all the times
9)Build a track record
0n :
1) Finished task
2) What i am going to do
being organised give you a sense of accomplishment
10) Welcome the unexpected
Be creative--come up with all kinds of creative solution to the challenges in life
11) Find your master key
Find an instruction book on how to make your life work
recommendation (from me) 1) your roadmap to success by john C maxwell
2) The key to richness--napoleon hill
3) 7 habit of highly effective people by Stephen R covey
12) Put your library on wheel
Even when you are driving or on car, you can listen to audiobook to motivate yourself
there are many website for audiobook like learn out aloud, bookshouldbefree.com.
13) Definite plan your work
Keep your work up to date
14) Bounce your thought
Reprogramming your dominant thought toward postive one
Bounce your thought
Think optimistically more and more often until it feel natural
15) Light your lazy dynamite
Do something you dun like slowly ,begin slowly
At least you do it
The more you do, the more you like it
Break job into smaller piece
16) Choose the happy few
Politely walk away from friend who dont support the changes in your life
Associate with people with positive thinking
Make a list of friend who are optimistic and happy
17) Learn to play a role
You are the thinker who determine who you will be
Your thought wil shape your life
Your emotion are yours to make, our emotion are result of our thinking
so think positively
18) Dont just do something, sit there
Be still and completely relax
just be with yourself, away from all the distraction
you wil be talking to your soul
Discover your inner self
19)Use your brain chemical
Stimulate your mind to unleash the chemical which make you happy
Program your mind to think positively
20) Leave high school forever
We are self concious when we are adolescent
we worry what other think of us
Why should we let other to dictate our life and the way we act?
Do what you think are correct, dont be detered by others remark
21) Learn to lose your coolDont be timid and non-assertive
dare to look bad and lose face
Just be who you are, be honest with yourself
