Be Intentional

in motivation •  7 years ago 

There are many times that we like to make excuses for not getting to where we would like to be in life. Why do we do this? Why do we compare ourselves to others especially when they are where we want to be. That brings me to today's point.

Many times we feel that we need to be motivated or inspired to make the first move in the right direction. We need to be intentional about what we want to do in life. We need to be productive even when we don't feel motivated because the rewards that come from this productivity will ignite the motivation that we are reaching for.

I attached an excerpt from a book called Useful Belief by Chris Helder. I think it sums up the point I'm trying to make. In addition to the excerpt, I will equate it to science. There are many kinds of energy out there but the main two are potential energy and activation energy. Potential energy is stored energy where an object just needs a push to start the anticipated activation, i.e. pushing a ball off a table to start motion throughout a room or igniting the wick of a firework.

We all have so much pinned up potential energy for 2018. The question I will leave you with is "What is your activation energy?" What will ignite your fire?
