Self Motivation: The Power of Love

"Why after attending a seminar motivation, motivation does not last long?" In another article I have discussed that it may decrease motivation. Expected permanent motivation, is the first mistake. The second reason is that we will lose motivation if we only expect motivation from the outside. For the strongest motivation comes from yourself.

In many NLP books mentioned that there are only two motivating factors that pursuing pleasure and avoiding suffering or pain. But if I kerucutkan again, there is only one motivating factor, that is love. The greater our love, the greater the motivation to get up.

Look, many desperate people to commit suicide because of broken love. This illustrates that love has the power to move us, even for things that bad and unreasonable. Maybe you have a lot of listening to stories of love trash, anything done "for love".

Joe Vitale realized the power of love as the primary motivator when he saw the movie 50 First Dates (2004) (First date 50) which describes the efforts of a man who every day try to make seroang women fall for him. Business is done every day, because the idol girl have memory capable of remembering only 1 day. This is just one of several love stories in movies.

You can use the power of love is to gain self-motivation. Of course, not limited to the love of the opposite sex, but love other things too. When you love your job, you will have enough motivation at work. Look pemasin football, in the middle of a tight schedule, they still enjoy playing in the field, because they love the profession as pesebak ball.

However, there is the strongest love. When you do not have this love, so you've wasted your life. This is the greatest love, which motivates the mujahideen on the battlefield. Not afraid to die, not afraid of pain, fear nothing, for the sake of this love. Is no other love, the love of God.

Because the work is part of worship. So did the business is part of worship. And, as worship is our love for God, then our business work and also is the embodiment of our love for God. Should, when we work and business, we will have a high motivation.

Have?

Let us pancangkan our intention, that the work of our business and to worship. Let us fertilizer our consciousness, that business and our work is one manifestation of our love for God.

Is there a feeling our love for God? If you feel less, then our faith must be increased again. For the love of God is only owned by those who believe.

As for those who believe, really, really love to God. (Surat al-Baqara: 165)

Focus on Your Strength

A fatal mistake is often done by many people is to fix all his flaws and weaknesses. Instead should not improve, it remains to be done, but with the right proportions. You will spend benyak when trying to fix all the shortcomings and weaknesses.

Everyone has flaws and weaknesses. You and me, we are not alone. Even successful people also have a bunch of weaknesses and shortcomings. They are not without shortcomings and weaknesses, they can be successful because they focus on their strengths rather than fix any shortcomings or weaknesses.

Even if you want to improve yourself, choose the things most important to you. You can not fix it because going to spend your life. All people are given the advantages and disadvantages. Optimize your strengths and you will soon get a brilliant result.

How?

1. Identify your strengths. What do you do well, excel, and most produce?
2. How do I use your strengths to achieve your goals.
3. Learn more about how to achieve your goals. Identify the assets and skills required.
4. You will find (perhaps) some of the skills you need but you can not. Maybe this is your shortcomings.

If you want to correct deficiencies, then focus on improving these shortcomings. This is a deficiency that you need to fix, so do not you fix all the deficiencies. Only the required course. Thus, you will not spend time on things that are not important.

But in addition we repair deficiencies, there are actually other things you can do, namely to cover shortages. What's the difference? Shortfall is not always by yourself. You can cover the shortage by working together, delegation, or outsourcing.

Meanwhile, you can focus on your strengths. Use your power as optimal as possible so that the results would be great or you become a person of extraordinary. With this mindset, you will not be time wasted, you will focus on important things. Achievement and success will be achieved. [Revolusi Waktu]
