How to get juiced up about life – What must you do? |
Are you one of the people to whom Abraham Lincoln was referring to when he made this famous quote?
Do you always seem to put things off until tomorrow, is confidence holding you back?
Or are you able to motivate yourself daily, if you are able to do this great, keep it going, motivation can sometimes be difficult to maintain, hold on to your motivation no matter what it is….if you have it…keep it.
If not don’t panic, don’t worry, help is at hand.But first, your desire to change needs to be acknowledged, without this acknowledgment to change, sadly the status quo will remain and you will not succeed in your attempts to change. WHY? I can hear you shouting at the computer screen, WHY?
Please allow me to clarify one vital point, you need to know the cost of the change, just like in any purchase you make, it is important to know how much it will cost you!If you do not understand what the cost of change is your chances of success are limited. Which is why most diets fail, you start out with good intentions, you eat exactly what the diet sheet tells you, but before long you slip back into eating what you ate before and your weight remains the same.
Why did this happen? In simple terms you had not calculated the cost, for cost in this example read sacrifice. You were not prepared to sacrifice the cream bun, the fried breakfast, that extra biscuit. The results gained would not justify the sacrifice you would have to make.
It can be better described as the following formula:-D x V x P > C
DISSATISFACTION WITH STATUS QUO
First of all, you must be really discontent with the way things are at present.
VISION
You should have a clear vision of the situation that you look forward to attaining through the change. You should also be clear as to why you want it.
PRACTICAL STEPS
You should be aware of the steps involved to implement the change. An action plan detailing the things you need to do has to be drawn up.
D x V x P is the formula of your desire for change.COST OF CHANGING
What will you have to let go in order to make way for the change? How much will the change cost you? Will it affect your beliefs and ideologies? The underlying rule is that you will proceed with the change only if your desire to change is greater than the costs of the change. Is there a motivation to change!
