The Greatest is Self-motivation

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

"Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly." - Stephen R. Covey

“You can motivate by fear. And you can motivate by reward. But both of these methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self-motivation.” - Homer Rice

"When you know what you want,and you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get it ." - Jim Rohn

Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. Do you agree?

Develop Your Will Power

Have you seen the following videos from my Inspiring Videos blog?

• Nick Vujici - Life Without limbs
• A lady married and have baby although without arms
• A small girl skates under 40 cars
• Man who determined to fly

After having seen the above videos, I believe you will agree with me that "Where there's a will, there's a way."

Too many develop every talent except the talent to use all other talents - Will power. In our every day tasks, we need will power to get things done. With it, many could overcome boredom, drudgery and obstacles. The most valuable education is that which trains us to do what should be done, when it should be done, whether we feel like it or not.

"Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear." - Dan Millman

"People do not lack strength; they lack will." - Victor Hugo

"Willpower is the strength of mind to carry out one's goals." - Sandy Anderson

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” - Confucius

An ounce of will power is worth a pound of knowledge. It takes guts to leave ruts. Successful men acquire the will power to make themselves do what success demands. They do the things failures don't like to do or can't make themselves do.

"There are dozens of success traits; but will power is the tool that builds them all. To develop will power or discipline, do one useful thing every day for no other reason than that you don't feel like doing it. In my 40 years of studying psychology, that's the best exercise I've found for developing will power" - the method of Wm. James, Harvard psychologist.

Well, what ways do you employ to strengthen your will power?

The Art of Leadership

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it" - Dwight Eisenhower

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” - John C. Maxwell

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” - John Quincy Adams

"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be" - Rosalynn Carter

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." - Peter F. Drucker

"Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall" - Stephen Covey

The bible in Matthew 15:14 (NKJV) tell us that "... if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.". Thus, make sure you choose or be a good leader!

Action generates inspiration

"Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running." - Zig Ziglar

We all need someone or something to inspire us to bring out our best. Nevertheless, genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.

The great composer doesn't work because he's inspired. He's inspired because he works. Action generates inspiration ten times for every time inspiration generates action.

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” - Frank Tibolt

Don't procrastinate

"Procrastination is the thief of time." - Edward Young

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." - Christopher Parker

"Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." - Parkinson's Law

"Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible." - George Claude Lorimer

"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait... The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count." - Robert Anthony

The best way to get something done is to begin.

Never wait for the proper mood to start a thing, nor until the spirit moves you. Make your own mood. Move your own spirit. How? ACT. Do something - anything. Inspiration seldom generates action. Action always creates inspiration.

The Power of Hope

Start every day with an inspiring thought. "Great hopes make great men." - Thomas Fuller

Hope is one of those things in life you cannot do without. - LeRoy Douglas

Hope is the power that gives us the power to step out and try. "The important thing is not that we can live on hope alone, but that life is not worth living without it." - Harvey Milk

“Where there's life, there's hope.” - Terence. There's hope for every failure, as long as he doesn't blame others for his fate.

“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” - Albert Einstein

The Powers of Words

Do not underestimate the powers of words.

Confucius was once asked what he would do if he were to be made the Emperor of China. Without hesitation, he said, "I would teach my people with great inspiring words, so that by the use and application of these words, they shall grow strong."
