What Motivation can do for You
by Garrett J. Braunreiter, CSCS, The Energy Coach

1. It puts the fire within you - the fire that gets your inner power going. You're lazy. No ambition. No energy. No imagination. You just don't care. You're totally without interest. You expect some magic pill will solve all of your health and weight problems and give you a perfect body. You expect life to hand you your dream job, dream house, and lots of money without any effort on your part.

What bothers me about most people who are like this, is that YOU HAVE the makings of having a leaner body, tons of energy, and vibrant health. YOU HAVE the ability to live the life you want. YOU CAN DO IT. You've got what it takes.

But you're selling yourself short. Guess you may just be stuck where you are for the rest of your life.

I can hear the obscenities like fireworks.

"You don't know me, mister! You can't talk to me like that. Take your newsletter, your coaching, and YOU straight to h _ _ l!"

GOOD. You've got it. You've GOT IT. I KNEW you had it in you - if you just got motivated. NOW you're fired up.

Now GET GOING. Show me up. Show up others who don't believe in you. Show YOURSELF that you can do it.

2. It reveals your talents, talents you realize you didn't have. Do you know your true potential? Never write yourself off. There is ALWAYS the possibility of reaching within and experience knowing and finding yourself (a tremendous experience). You become a changed person, in every fiber of your being.

3. You go all-out; you're not a hold-out. No person should ever, ever, ever give up on himself, or ever, ever, ever think defeat.

But why is it that some people never seem to get going even though their ability is obvious? Do YOU go all-out, or are you a hold-out? In other words, do you do things half-ass (pardon my language), holding back your true capacity, as if you're AFRAID of giving it all you've got? Those who really get ahead in life are the all-outs, not the hold-outs.

4. You use ALL of your mind. In other words, you wish positive, but think negative. You have wonderful ideas and goals, and darn it, if you had the time, if you didn't have kids, if you had the money, if you weren't married, if you lived in a better part of the country, if you were more motivated, well, you could achieve.

A lot of people have this problem. I call it an internal arm-wrestling match.

You've got drive and ambition on the one hand, resistance on the other. Subconsciously you EXPECT to make a mess of anything you try to undertake; won't lose weight, won't have more energy, will fail business, won't get promotion, whatever.

So you never go further than paying lip service to what you want. And you don't do it.

That part of you that wishes positive is YOUR TRUE SELF. Your strong self. The part that goes away with action is your negative self. Your internal arm-wrestling match is where you rationalize your failure and make excuses for not doing anything.

All you have to do to get motivated is take ONE, just ONE, idea or goal you want to achieve, and DO IT NOW. Like, NOW. Not tomorrow. NOW. Break the hesitation and get going. If you don't, you'll be second-rate for life. You don't need to be that way. STOP BEING THAT WAY.

5. Keeps you open for more motivational experiences. Sooner or later some idea is going to hit you right square between the eyes, with power to excite and drive you, and it can have the most dramatic and lasting effect on your entire life.

To that end, a great way to keep yourself open to this experience is to read and listen to positive, inspiring books, such as the biographies of people who have gone "rags to riches," developing their talents to their maximum, solved problems, and succeeded in spite of everything. These publications make you think, really think.
