There are two factors that motivate us, as humans, to succeed. Most people are not really aware of the fact that it takes a strong force to get us to change anything. These two factors are:
- Fear
- Desire
Fear -
Have you ever noticed how it takes hitting rock bottom to get us off our butts and recognize that we need to change? Did we have signs along the way that were obvious we were heading in the wrong direction? Usually. Our fear of change is so strong that it takes a stronger fear such as illness, failure or even death to wake us up and push us to make a change.
Desire –
Desire is the other intense motivator. When we fall in love the feelings are so intense we are willing to do just about anything to keep those feelings alive. We take risks and do things we would not normally do. Desire can come in many forms – Keeping our kids safe and happy; Keeping the boss happy or at least off our backs; Not disappointing our loved ones – the list goes on and on.
So how do you tap into these two factors and succeed? First, by understanding them. Second, get out of your daily routine, network with peers, visit friends, start by changing small things first. And third, find quiet time for yourself. Get your spirit on board.
