Fantatstic Tips on Career, Life and Business Development
I get asked to do a lot of “motivational speaking” at events but the trouble is that I don’t believe that people need motivation…in fact I’d go as far as to say motivation does work…well not in the long term term anyway.
You see I believe it’s not motivation that people want…what the really want is to be inspired.
You might ask what’s the difference.
Motivation and Inspiration are two very different things.
We are conditioned to believe that being in the middle is the safest place to be, but it’s actually the most dangerous place to be as it locks you into a life of ‘average.’
Successful people know this and understand that you have to take extraordinary steps in order to achieve what you really want in life.
There will always be things that happen to us in life that can challenge us, stop us from moving forward or impact our progress. We can look upon these as “defining moments”
It’s not what happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us that creates the difference in our lives – or more accurately how we respond to these events that define us.
In the midst of these challenges you have a choice – do you emerge the same or do you come out stronger?
The biggest reason that people and companies do not change is due to fear.
You have to embrace fear to use it a leverage for making change in your life, business or career.
