So why should you keep a success journal?
Motivation is the set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behaviour. The term is generally used for human motivation but, theoretically, it can be used to describe the causes for animal behaviour as well. This lesson refers to human motivation.
According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality, or avoiding mortality.
As Earl Nightingale said it, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going. It”’s as simple as that!”
Goals give our lives www.ASENSEOFDIRECTION.com.
A goal or objective is a projected state of affairs that a person or a system plans or intends to achieve ““ a personal or organizational desired result from some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavour to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.
According to the book “The Top 10 Habits of Millionaires” by Keith Cameron Smith ““ Our society can be broken down into five groups of people: the very poor, poor, middle class, rich, and very rich. Very poor people think day to day. Poor people think week to week. Middle-class people think month to month. Rich people think year to year. And very rich people think decade to decade.
There are three primary goals that can be found in the mind-sets of these five social groups.
- The primary goal for very poor and poor people is survival.
- The primary goal for middle-class people is comfort.
- The primary goal for the rich and very rich is freedom.
A desire or an intention only becomes a goal if one activates an action to achieving it.
As the great George Bernard Shaw put it, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.”
Your dreams form your unique imagination or creativity that can ignite action or motivate you to take control and direct your life.
Albert Einstein once said that, “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” When asked why? He explained that one”’s knowledge is of the past and one”’s imagination is of the future.
I like Charles Kettering”’s quote, “My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.”
What do you spend your time thinking about?
Your thoughts are like a ship”’s rudder. They determine which direction you are going in life. Successful people focus their thoughts on what they want and others focus their thoughts on what they don”™t want.
How you focus your thinking is a personal choice or your responsibility.
As Anthony Robbins says, “It”’s in the moments of your decision that your destiny is shaped.”
Making the choice to live the life you desire gives you control of the amazing journey that each one of us call “LIFE!”
People who have goals tend to demonstrate it in subsequent actions. Knowing what you want out of life is essential because whether we are consciously, or subconsciously, acting in a certain way, the object or purpose of our behaviour is the emotional feelings we believe will result from our actions.
The goals that human beings possess can be consider as being arranged in hierarchy. Such that higher order goals are more abstract than lower order goals. According to Abraham Maslow”’s “˜Hierarchy of Needs”™, ” What a man can be, he must be.”
For instance, a person may have a goal to become an educated person. In order to achieve this goal, they may have a goal to get a college degree. In order to obtain a college degree, they may have the goal to complete a college application, and to complete a college application they may have the goal of reach for a pen. Behaviour may also be directed from the bottom up, meaning that lower order goals may briefly shift attention. For instance, if one smells smoke while reaching for a pen, their new may be to investigate the smell of smoke.
You can continuously monitor whether goals have been achieved through a process called self-regulation.
One of my most favourite quotes is on a magnet … on my fridge. I don”™t know who originally came up with it, so if you do please drop me an email and let me know. Here it is: “The Road To Success Is Always Under Construction.”
Self-regulated learners are cognizant of their academic strengths and weaknesses, and they have a repertoire of strategies they appropriately apply to tackle the day-to-day challenges of academic tasks. These learners hold incremental beliefs about intelligence (as opposed to fixed views of intelligence) and attribute their successes or failures to factors (e.g., effort expended on a task, effective use of strategies) within their control.
When asked what he believed was the secret of his success, Jerry Rice replied, “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.”
Self-control is the ability to control your emotions and desires, it is the capacity of efficient management to the future.
In psychology it is sometimes called self-regulation, and exerting self-control through the executive functions in decision making is thought to deplete a resource in the ego.
Ego depletion refers to the idea that self-control or will-power is an exhaustible resource that can be used up. When that energy is low (rather than high), mental activity that requires self-control is impaired. In other words, using one’s self-control impairs the ability to control one’s self later on. In this sense, the idea of (limited) will-power is correct.
In an illustrated experiment on ego depletion, participants who controlled themselves by trying not to laugh while watching a comedian did worse on a later task that required self-control compared to participants who did not have to control their laughter while watching the video.
So what can we do about it?
Early research on ego depletion has been performed by Roy Baumeister, Mark Muraven, and their colleagues. And from studies they suggest that a positive mood stimulus could help restore the depleted energy. They report on four studies where the positive mood stimulus was a surprise gift or short clips of stand-up comedy. That”’s funny, (excuse the pun) but I once read from the series of books, “˜Chicken Soup For The Soul”™, that a doctor prescribed his patient to stop at “˜Blockbuster”™ on his way home and pick-up half a dozen funny movies ““ this was right after he diagnosed his patient with cancer. Moral of the story… Laughter as I”™m sure you will have heard is the best remedy of all.
The research on ego depletion is experimental and does not consider in depth the mechanisms by which performance is restored, whether it is because of an actual restoration of self-regulatory resources or provides an additional motivation to press on with a depleted self remains an open question. But hey, I”™ll be looking out my “˜Laurel and Hardy”™ videos tonight!
According to Paul McKenna, the world”’s leading hypnotist and Britain”’s most successful self-improvement author. “You will always get more of what you focus on.”
Here are 3 steps you can take immediately to begin your journey.
First, examine your business and personal relationships carefully. Is there any situation you wouldn’t get into again if you had it to do over?
Second, make a list of every single thing in your life that would make you happy and then think about what you could do to begin achieving them.
Third, allow yourself to dream and fantasize about your ideal life, what it would look like and feel like, and then do something every day to make it a reality.
YOU ARE THE MASTER DESIGNER OF YOUR LIFE!
Goal-setting ideally involves establishing specific, measurable and time-targeted objectives. Work on the theory of goal-setting suggests that it can serve as an effective tool for making progress by ensuring that participants have a clear awareness of what they must do to achieve or help achieve an objective. On a personal level, the process of setting goals allows people to specify and then work towards their own objectives ““ most commonly financial or career-based goals. Goal-setting comprises a major component of Personal Development. To achieve a goal, usually, one must be focused.
When you achieve your goal it is immensely pleasurable.
Take a moment to write down a detailed description of your ideal life.
Do it now!
Efficient goal-work includes recognizing and resolving any guilt, inner conflict or limiting belief that might cause one to sabotage one’s efforts. By setting clearly-defined goals, one can subsequently measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. One can see progress in what might have seemed a long, perhaps impossible, grind.
You are learning new … beneficial … successful habits!
Patience … a little time … a little effort … and a commitment.
