It was said to me recently by a Family Member “What right do I have to try and MOTIVATE others when I am one of the biggest Negative People around”.

That really hurt me and I did try and reply them back, but that look, that reply that feeling, knocked me for six.

It got me to thinking what right do i have. Well let me share with you MY RIGHT TO MOTIVATE.

I have struggled all through my life, I have seen the worse in people and I have seen the Joy in people. I’ve gone without and I have gone hungry. I have had everyone around me but no one beside me, I have stood on my own when everyone was or is against me, I did what I wanted to do even when others put me down, spoke down to me, slated me and told me I wasn’t worth it.

Even though where I started in life to where I am now is a Journey that NOT many people will do. Now I look around and I see the life that I, ME, MYSELF have provided for my family. They did not do this, I did it. MY Desire for change, for knowledge, to be better than I was last month. That has kept me moving forward.

I can look back on my life and use what has happened as a lesson, as a story to help others. I share my experience, I share my heart break and sadness and every time that I do I move a step further in my journey.

Where I am today, is not where I will be in a Years Time. When I say that I don’t mean in physical location, what I mean is, in me. Mentally where I am.

Everyone of us has the RIGHT to Motivate or to HELP someone, we all experience different events in our life. You might not think it but your story is important, if not to you then to someone else.

Don’t ever think you are the ONLY Person going through what you are. Millions of others are going through it as well and they all want that ONE Person to say – Where ever you want to go you will get there.

How dare anyone, no matter if it is loved ones, uplines, managers, employees, employers, co-workers, tell you that you do not have the right to Motivate. Admittingly through experience comes wisdom, reading a book and then repeating the book word for word is not perfect, but it gives you a foundation to start with.

If I didn’t experience what I did when I was growing up, I wouldn’t have thought to myself I want to be better or I want change. My journey started with a Thought, and guess what?

We ALL Have the power of Thought. That must mean we all have the power to better ourselves.

It Starts With YOU

Motivation is the driving force behind life-enhancing change. It comes from knowing exactly what you want to do and having an insatiable, burning desire to do what’s necessary to get it. It keeps your dream on track as it is the power of motivation that keeps you going when the going gets tough.

Here’s a few tips to help you supercharge your motivation:

Create a picture board and fill it with images of your desired goals. The car you want to own, the house you want to live in, the area where you want to live yes, they’re the obvious ones. Others could be pictures of holiday destinations, trophies, first-class travel tickets, clothes you want to buy, fine restaurants you want to frequent – whatever you can think of that gets your pulse racing.
GET ANGRY. If you want to change your life for the better then get angry about where you’re at now. Having a blasé attitude towards change isn’t what’s needed and it won’t create a strong desire within you. So ask: “Why do I want to change?” Is it because you’re FED UP with debts? Does your job DRIVE YOU CRAZY? Is your life DULL AND PRECITABLE? Are you SICK AND TIRED of doing the same thing week in week out? Are you BORED BEYOND BELIEF by the dull, uninspiring, unhappy people you associate with? THEN GET ANGRY ABOUT IT. And I mean REAL ANGRY. Write it all down, all of the frustrating, unrewarding, miserable lot of it that makes every day a dull slog until your final days. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
Speaking of your final days, start to appreciate the value of time. Time is one of the most precious resources you have and it is also a NON RENEWABLE resource. You can either use it fully or squander it. If you want to create change you’re going to have to invest a lot of time to make it happen. Start to reduce the time you waste on irrelevancies: Television, newspapers, lie-ins, weekends spent shopping, partying, dining out, visiting an endless line of relatives and friends – these won’t help you get what you want and all of them will rob time from you. Valuable time that you can use much more effectively by investing it in YOU. Remember this: You have a finite amount of time here on Earth. You don’t know how much time you have – no one does. But it’s how you use the time you have that counts. So make your time count and that means starting from right NOW.
Conformity. Are you a mindless little sheep who’s way too timid to pursue your own way? Do you have to follow where everyone else goes, doing exactly what everyone else does and therefore, who gets the same levels of happiness as all the other little sheep? Seriously, does this describe YOU? Are you too frightened to be different than all of the other sheep because they wouldn’t like it if you decided to follow a different path? So you dutifully trot along following all the other sheep because if they’re doing it then that’s how it is right? But if you do what everyone else does you’ll just get what everyone else gets. Do you want to be a mindless, timid little sheep who blindly follows all the other sheep? Or do you want to be a leader, a warrior who possesses the courage to be uniquely you and to do what you want to do and make your dreams happen? If so then this means you have to be more like a tiger than a sheep. Do you really want to be a sheep? I mean, haven’t we got enough sheep already?
Fear your fear. Fear is the force that is determined to stop you in your tracks and rob your dreams from you. But it can only do this if you let it. Are you going to let this cruel destructive charlatan trample on your dreams, steal your happiness and crush your spirit? Imagine this thought haunting your final days: “I didn’t do the things I wanted because I was too frightened to live”. And by then, it’ll be far too late to conquer fear. Refuse to let fear spoil your life and start taking action – now!
