Stay Motivated
- By Mark Machaalani
- Published 11/20/2006
To become a successful person, there is no doubt that you must set short and long term goals. The achievement of the goals you establish results in the success you desire to achieve. Now to attain these goals, your mental diet must contain a great deal of vitamin M, which stands for Motivation!
Motivation is the source of nourishment your mind yearns for whilst on the journey of achieving these goals. It is important to realise that a healthy diet must remain healthy consistently. Aristotle once said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."
Therefore, a healthy beginning to a diet is not an effective diet unless it is a continuous and an on going process. In saying this, not only must you get motivated, you must STAY motivated.
Remember to feed your mind and body with vitamin M, day in day out, so that you remain on top of your game, ready for any obstacle that may lie between the path from where you are now, and where you want to be.

What a motivational and good piece of writing. Short, straight to the point and very effective. I have been applying the principle of consistency to what ever I do and can certainly conclude that in relation to achieving ones desired goals, it is a source of nourishment and success.

Nice post Mark, but HOW exactly do we get this dose of Vitamin M? It's not like we can open a tap and drink it :)

Hi Eddie - The answer is:
Visualization. By constantly reminding yourself WHY you're after that goal. What rewards you'll receive when you achieve it?
By thinking about the reasons you started in the first place will help you stay on that goal.
There's no point chasing a goal that no longer rewards you :)

That's an extremely relevant point Mark. The power of thought and visualisation is key to implanting a strong desire into your subconcious mind. Once an idea is implanted into your subconcious, infinite intelligence kicks in and suddenly you have unlimited power to guide you and motivate you towards your goals. When this happens you find that a higher power, if you will, is pushing you towards where you want to be.
Bear in mind that your subconcious is indifferent to the thoughts that you implant on it - it doesn't ask questions but merely acts on orders from your conscious mind. So, watch your thoughts closely!
