Motivation for Motivators

Everyone needs to be re-motivated from time to time.

As an entrepreneur I am motivated about growing my business.

As a life long learner I am motivated about learning new concepts.

As a creative thinker I am motivated about discovering new ideas.

As a motivational business speaker I am motivated by delivering my presentations and the feedback to them.

As a business author and writer I am motivated by publishing my articles and the occasional comments.

As a professional speaker I am motivated by attending the convention of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. I just returned from the annual CAPS convention. I’m recharged and eargerly preparing for 2009. I know that it will be a challenging and rewarding year.

Motivation:It’s Cold outside

Motivation: It’s Cold outside

It was time for me to get up and go for a run. But it was cold in the room and warm in the bed.

I wasn’t motivated to get up because I was comfortable and getting up would disturb that comfort. So I laid in bed a bit longer. Enventually I got up and went for my run. The transition from warm comfortable bed to cold room and then even colder outside was still uncomfortable.

Once I was moving – it was easier to keep moving. I needed the motivation to move – to make the first moves. That was the hard part. We only need motivation to do things that are uncomfortable. Then we are surprized at how easy it is to keep moving.

I needed motivation to escape the warm bed and open the front door to the cold outside. Once I started those first steps little motivation was needed to keep me running.

We need motivation to change to make those transitions from comfortable to uncomfortable. The transition might only last seconds or minutes.

Canadian born actor, Jim Carey, is publishing a self-help book on motivation. One of his insights is based on his personal experience. He was feeling depressed and Prosac didn’t work. So he changed his diet and in particular added vegetables. Then he felt better.

Wow! Imagine that Jim. Eat healthy and feel healthy.

I wonder if Jim gave his mother credit for that advice.

I wonder how many mothers are trying to drum that into the heads of their children. Well now they have funny guy, Jim Carey on their side. Is it maturity setting in?
