Dear Friend, 

I’ve been thinking about motivation for 30 years, first for myself, then for you.

Here’s what I found. We already have all the motivation we need. Where? Inside.

If you’re skeptical I understand. But hear me out. You’ve already motivated yourself in the past, whether it was to pass a test, muster up the courage to speak to that attractive person at the club, or to get a new job. What if you could tap into unlimited, sustainable motivation?

That’s what this post/podcast is about. Now, watch/listen above, or read below for how the most successful people find their everlasting motivation.

All my best, 

Peter ❤️

Motivation

1. Create a compelling vision.

   Know what you want and why. Get emotional about it- Emotions drive human behavior, followed up by logic.

   1. Motivation- What do you love about your: (what already motivates you?)

      Work: Meeting new people, learning, sharing, connecting

      Life: 5 quality minutes per day with family

      Play: fun, laughing, reading, gardening, intimacy

Below is a sample of a True Self form I created to help my clients get what they want. Answer these questions and let me know what happens. It may surprise you ;-)

My Vision (Purpose, Goal, Outcome) 

______________________________________________________________________________

Do you believe this is possible? Yes ___  No ___  Maybe ___

Answer why this must happen: (Pleasure: keep this positive)

______________________________________________________________________________

What does it mean if it doesn’t happen: (Pain: this is negative, use strong language)

______________________________________________________________________________

My Excuses (beliefs) _____________________________________________________________

My top 5 Values 1____________   2___________   3__________   4__________   5___________

2. Reframe Everything

Frank my therapist taught me this- No matter what happens to me, what I see, whom I encounter, if I can find the benefit in it, my life will be better.

Try it. The next time someone cuts you off, criticizes you, misinterprets your intentions, ignores you, what message is the universe/God giving you? What good can come of it. How can this benefit you and your life?

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, get better answers.”
