Four Keys to Inspiring Yourself Daily and Why It’s So Important

The thing about people that never ceases to amaze me is that so many individuals  are searching for happiness and success in life but refuse to accept what the one simple key to that success is. History has proven over and over that 85% to 90 % of the world will just get by. It’s in the numbers everywhere you care to look: 10% of sales people make 90% of all sales, 10% or less of the population makes over $100,000 per year and less than 1.3 % of all individuals playing sports with aspirations of turning professional will actually make it.

Despite all the statistics and data people fail to understand what the key to success in the world really is. Individuals and even companies search and search for the “magic bullet” feeling that sucess will be found in the X’s and O’s.  When it is so simple to see, if it has to be boiled down to one thing and one thing alone, its inspiration that will drive the motivation to fuel all the other things required to be in that 10% elite group.

I hear it over and over “I don’t need the rah, rah stuff and most times it’s from some loser that can’t even pay their bills.

Now, I’m sorry to sound so negative and do not mean to hurt anyone’s feelings but I’m so tired of seeing people whine and complain about not getting what they want out of life while they stumble through life refusing to understand that  it is their own lack of motivation that holds them back.

What right do I have to be giving this kind of advice? Certainly there are many people more successful than I am, who have greater struggles but I would gladly trade may pack of problems for most peoples. In my life I have overcome physical difficulties that lead to emotional struggles, financial problems, loss of loved ones and health issues. Through it all, the one constant factor that has always sustained me and allowed me to move forward towards my dreams has been the ability to keep myself motivated every day.

So here are 4 simple ways to get your blood pump’n and your butt jump’n everyday:

Music – They say that music sooths the savage beast will it also can get you energized and pumped up to attack the world. Why do you think so many high performing athletes have iPods plugged into their ears before competing? Think of the excitement and enthusiasm in a rock concert? Find your favorite music to listen to when you need a pick me up and let it “rock your world”.

Words – Words are powerful and can stir the soul. Find a source for short motivational quotes that can energize you.

Laughter - It is impossible to laugh and be down at the same time. We all need to get daily doses of laughter as much as possible. We can find humor on the internet, television or the daily comic strips. It’s everywhere we just need to look and laugh.

Stories - There are so many inspirational true stories out there in the world. Everyday there are individuals performing heroic deeds, overcoming hardships and winning in life against overwhelming odds. Stories that if we allow them, will make us feel like we can conquer the world.

I truly believe that motivation comes from within and inspiration can be found all around us in the most unusual places. This inspiration is critical to light the fire of motivation in our lives.

Good Selling
