How to Motivate Yourself and Stay Motivated

By on April 6, 2003 in Ideas

Home Based Business Opportunities: What motivates us to do the things that we do? Why do we think and behave as we do? What influences people to do what they do?

Is is all because of that one word MONEY, which drives us to do what we do? I think not.

The word “motivation” means different things to different people. One thing for sure is that you can’t buy a jar of it: it has to come from within yourself. A person’s brain needs constant motivational input just as muscles need exercise, engines need petrol and plants need water.

I used to think that motivation was a slick American fad and that it wasn’t for me. After all, I was very motivated already!

People are the product of their thoughts and the aim of motivational material is to improve the quality of your thoughts. Motivation is nothing more than encouragement and we all perform better for it. Friends of mine say that I am a good motivator, because I simply encourage others.
