Why being desperate is an advantage

Orlando Motivational Speakers
i talk about this in my first book. It’s the concept of having a serious wakeup call in life. A message so strong that we become a different person because of it.

 

Motivation, deep motivation, is rare. Which is why it’s so challenging to become a different, better person.

 

Without full-on conviction, our odds – of pushing through and transforming ourselves – are against us.

Seriously low odds.

Odds that never help anyone.

Please don’t misunderstand, i get the high motivation we carry during the honeymoon phase of “wanting” to change.

But we have to acknowledge and accept that the number of people who actually reach and sustain lifetime change is in the single digits.

Odds are against us.

All of us.

Always.

This is not meant to discourage you.

It’s meant to help you find what you need to do the thing you say you want to do.

  • Change careers.
  • Walk away from a codependent relationship.
  • Become an entrepreneur.
  • Reclaim your physical vitality.
  • Write and publish that book.
  • Travel.
  • Follow your heart.

Go.

Do you have enough of this to last a lifetime?

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
At least a million…enough to last a lifetime of distractions, naysayers, temptation, pain, hurt, regret, failure, etc.

 

Do you have enough of this to last a lifetime?

What?

Motivation.

Motivation is like a fire, unless you continue to add fuel to it, it will go out.

What you get if you’re willing to push yourself

Apple Watch photo
Spent 3 hours here yesterday – replaced iPhone X screen that cracked from a bike ride drop. Who’s got time to push personal boundaries?

 

Apple Store Mall at Millenia
My local ‘go-to’ Apple Store Mall at Millenia. Tons of tourists.

 

Bumper sticker calm
Calmer than you are?  At a stoplight.  Yesterday, driving home from Apple Store.

 

 

What you get if you’re willing to push yourself:

  1. Pushback (many people won’t like your ambition – it reminds them how little they have)
  2. Discovery (you go places you’ve never been)
  3. Opportunity (karma attracts good things and ‘lucky’ breaks)
  4. Pain (you will fail, so know it’s coming and make it temporary)

My word for 2018?

Go!

Great seats.

Standing ovation well deserved.

 

Satisfied?

There’s a gap between where you are and where you want to be?

Many gaps.

Does this fuel you to close the gaps?

Does it frighten you into analysis paralysis?

Do you generate momentum to close gaps?

Does momentum seem to keep burying you in overwhelm?

Our answers reveal our attitude.

Hint: You likely have too many things vying for your attention. Figure it out.

The key to it all?

School crossing
Yesterday these children were highly motivated to cross when the crossing guard signaled them to cross. It felt like a tsunami of pre-pubescent energy was going to overrun me.

 

The key to it all?

Do you have a definitive answer?

i believe you should.

Our answers don’t have to match.

But we should both have convincing answers.

Mine?

Motivation.
