***** Positive Thinking, Happy Living

Here's another Zig Ziglar quote I came across the other day:

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

Nice quote. And it really pulls on the fact that consistency is the key - that nothing just happens and lasts forever...

That you cannot attend a rah-rah seminar and then be set for life.

That you and I have to put in effort every single day without fail in order to create the sort of business and life we desire.

Think about it: exercise doesn't last. Eating well doesn't last. Relaxation doesn't last.

In today’s fast-paced life, the wins usually go to those with exceptional skills and abilities. The old quote is true, “The race is not always won by the swift and the strong, but that is the way to bet.”

With this in mind, and with your desire to become increasingly successful, here are some ways to accelerate your abilities, thus enabling you to achieve greater and greater things.

What is the purpose of your life? Working, eating and sleeping is no life. There must be some good purpose and some noble cause of your living. If you are living without a purpose then, I am sorry to say, you are living the life of an animal.

What do you want to do for yourself and for others? What do you want to achieve in your life? What do you want to tell others and to yourself? Why you are here in this world? Get up, open your eyes, look straight in the mirror and tell to yourself the real purpose of your own life, loudly and clearly.

When working toward goals or striving for success in any endeavor, self-discipline is one vital quality you need to have. Most of us cringe at the thought because it brings to mind instant visions of sacrifice, difficulty and strain.

However, discipline doesn’t have to be so hard. The problem occurs when you try to go from having no self-discipline to forcing yourself to undertake a heavy load of responsibility. Talk about pressure!

Below are three easy ways to become more disciplined with a minimum of discomfort:

I am in love and it’s a matter of great excitement, joy and happiness for me. No doubt, I am flying in the air without wings. I am feeling so good that I want to share my joy with you and, therefore, invite you to join me in this adventure of self-love.

I am deeply in love but with nobody except me and it’s true, though it may look strange to you. I love the person who is within my body. I am my own man, my own person, and my own lover. I am in harmony with my mind, heart and soul. I am truly and happily in love with my inner-self.

Have you ever made a New Year's resolution? Maybe you resolved to lose weight, stop smoking or get fit. Did you see it through? The vast majority of people you probably didn't and by the end of January you, too, will be back into their old habit patterns after promising this year would be different from last year. Sound familiar?

Motivation often comes down to individuals and circumstances and what works today may not work tomorrow, which is why it can feel difficult and time-consuming. But work done willingly is always better than work done unwillingly and your people's commitment to their work is worth its weight in gold (even at today's prices!) so let's 'think positive' and take a look at motivation.

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the "push" to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend's tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

Have you ever heard the saying that attitude is everything? If you have, then you may know it to be true. While it can be difficult to be positive all the time, being an optimist has been linked to many things, including better health. Doctors will tell you that patients who are optimistic about treatment are those that always recover faster than those who are pessimistic. When you are positive, you can accomplish things that some may have thought were unrealistic. A positive attitude can help you build strong relationships as well as create increased motivation.

If you cannot love, you can't live because love is the soul of life. Can you imagine of living without soul? Of course not!
What love really is?

Love is much more than the romantic feelings, physical attraction, or sexual desires between a man and woman. Love is the divine force within you which keeps you motivated to do the things you love to do. When you are in love your excitement level crosses all boundaries thus giving you the most powerful inner strength you need to excel in any field of life.

Are you in love?
