Motivation - The Energy Behind Action
June 29, 2008
Many people think motivation is just an emotion, or a thought. Its not! Motivation is the energy behind action.
No motivation and your actions are empty; without substance. However, if you add motivation to your actions, they become powerful and effective.
Motivation is the sister of intent, and together, they make us effective or ineffective people.
How is Motivation Energy?
Motivation begins with a thought or a desire. These thoughts or desires have real energy within them, and they energize whatever they touch. If these are in conversation, they energize your speech and the hearing of those that listen to them. This is a fact.
Every good salesman knows he cannot sell anything unless he is motivated and believes what he is doing is also good for those who buy. If the salesman is not sold, he will never sell. Being sold is his motivation energizing his thoughts, speech and finally actions.
The fact that motivation is energy is seen most easily in those people whose task it is, to convince others. You simply cannot convince others unless you are convinced. You cannot be convinced unless you are motivated.
Motivation Dispels Procrastination
Putting things off; a common human trait, is also a cause of a great many human ills and unhappy situations. If you are motivated, however, you just do it as the slogan goes, and step by step you eventually progress.
Do not procrastinate. If you do, youre ideas, your thoughts become impotent, and you become impotent with them.
How to Become Motivated
There is an old prayer, where a saint is walking along with road in his bare feet, his shoes long ruined and discarded. He prayed for shoes. Just then he saw a man without feet! He withdrew his prayer, and thanked God for all his blessings.
You need no more to become motivated than to realize if you are reasonably healthy, and have the basics of life, you are more than well off. Your motivation then should be to be better in what you do, how you look, what you say, and most of all, how you are.
One needs no more than to realize most of the people in the world do not have the basics of life, yet they survive. If you ponded that thought, your motivation comes of itself.
Turning Motivation into Action
This is the easiest part of the discussion. One turns motivation into action by setting goals. Your goals must be somehow realistic, and somehow achievable. They should be (in part anyway) achievable in a reasonable amount of time. Motivation somehow needs some reward, like a horse needing a bit of sugar after working a while.
Your actions, now charged with motivation, and having a destination (goal) are the stuff that built empires. The stuff that put man on the moon, and every other wonderful achievement in mans history.
You can apply these simple facts in your life, and you will see it improve for the better, no matter what. You must be motivated, and your motivation will energize your actions. An action, energized by motivation, and having a goal has a very large chance of success, regardless of its magnitude.
