Read MoreWhat’s your mission of the day?
Morning Motivation What if you wake up every morning and assign yourself one duty, one task—one mission—for the day? It can be anything— clean the house, register for that class, make that phone call, finish the to-do list, write three pages, edit a scene, not eat a pan of brownies, abstain from biting your nails, be kind, smile at strangers, think positively—whatever will help you create what it is you want to create. Try it! Be specific. Create a daily mission. Be on a mission. Create from it. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreAre you living in the clouds?
Morning Motivation There’s a difference between thinking you can and actually taking action to see if you do. The power of positive thought is just that—powerful. But, if it’s not followed up with and combined with conscious creating those thoughts will never become literal things—they will stay in the ethers, in the figurative clouds, in your imagination alone. What you want to create will never actually manifest if you don’t take action to create it. If you are living in the clouds of your thoughts it’s time you get grounded in reality taking very real actions to create your dreams. No matter how positive, thoughts alone will not get you where you want to...
Read MoreAre you stopping when you get stopped?
Morning Motivation When you arrive at the point where something stops you, don’t actually stop, get creative and figure out how to keep going instead! Climb over that fence, jump that hurdle, scale that wall, solve that problem, go around it, suck it up and stick to it. What’s the worst thing that could happen? You could get a few scratches from the barbed wire. You could pull a hamstring. You could fall. There could be another block around the corner. It could suck after you suck it up. Big deal! If you don’t ever try to keep going after you’ve been stopped how will you ever know for sure it will hurt, it will be impossible, it will be that bad, or if,...
Read MoreDo you remember?
Morning Motivation Do you remember where you were? Do you remember how you felt? Do you remember how it impacted you, your family, your community, the country, the world? Do you remember the aftermath? Good. Don’t ever forget. Remember the fallen. Honor them with gratitude, love, hope. Give thanks for what you have–your life. Create a better tomorrow from it. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreAre you creating a solid foundation?
Morning Motivation Do you have a strong enough foundation from which to grow from, to build from, to create from? Are your basic needs met? Are you working hard but still able to smile, to free your mind to create from what you have? Or are you stressing out—overextended and out of your body? Your first priority must be to build a foundation that you are able to create more than just survival. Create a foundation that allows you to thrive! Do whatever it takes to dig out and create a clean slate. Downsize. Simplify. Learn to get back to the basics. Enjoy life with less. Stop keeping up with the Joneses. Take the pressure off. Create a foundation that...
Read MoreAre you stopping to smell the roses?
Morning Motivation Sometimes you need to create calm. Sometimes you need to create a slower pace. Sometimes you need to create peace. Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses. Don’t hesitate to create whatever you need whenever you need it! Yes, creating paid bills is vital, creating new revenue is key to expansion, but without taking care of your mental and physical wellbeing, none of it matters. Don’t forget to create a healthy, happy you—the basis for creating everything else you want. Stop. Breathe. Take in the quiet. Rejuvenate your energy. Create what you need when you need it. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreIs the tide turning?
Morning Motivation Even if it feels like it isn’t, the tide is always turning. If it’s low, it will inevitably become high. If it’s high, it will eventually be low again. The only thing that never changes is that everything changes! Just keep creating from what you have until it does. Things will get better. You will find the answer. You will discover the solution. You will get to the other side. It is important to practice patience and keep your balance as you weather the turning tides. Be patient. Keep your balance. The tide will turn. Create from change—something you always have. What are you going to create? ...
Read MoreCan a Dream Motivate You?
Can a Dream Motivate You? That is exactly the question The Declare Your Dream Experimental Motivation Project is setting out to examine and to discover. Can a dream motivate you? What if that dream is someone else’s dream? What if the dream is your own? Think about a dream you have that makes your heart race at the very thought of it. Think about a dream someone else had that inspired you to dream in a bigger way or motivated you to begin dreaming in the first place. Think about the power of a dream to motivate you, others, a community, a nation, the world. “And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a...
Read MoreWhat are you building?
Morning Motivation Instead of getting slowed down or stopped by feeling overwhelmed with how much there is to do to build what you want to build, keep your eye on the prize. Stay focused on what you are building. Stay focused on why you are building it. Stay the course. There’s power in consistent, focused, long-term action toward a specific goal—what you are building. Whether you’re building health, a business, a community, a school, or an education, work back from the big picture to figure out the steps you need to take. Where do you start? Create a course of action—a blueprint, a map, a plan—by figuring out the materials you’ll need for the...
