Motivation and Self Improvement

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting
flunking 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
embarrassment. 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. 

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how
do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to
Z…

A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and
places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.

C – Consider things from every angle and aspect. Motivation
comes from determination. To be able to understand life,
you should feel the sun from both sides.

D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed
once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his
invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make
motivation as your steering wheel.

E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if
nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if
you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are
happy.

F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures.
Don’t lose sight of them!

G – Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation
and self improvement take place? At work? At home? At
school? When you exert extra effort in doing things you'll
get back much more than you put in. 

H – Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle there for a
moment, but these little stars will be your driving force. 

I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t allow other
people to get the best of you. Stay away from toxic people
– the kind of friends who hates to hear about your success.

J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself.
And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K – Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a
person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life
finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.

L – Learn to love your self. Now isn’t that easy?

M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are
put into work clothes.

N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.

O – Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude
and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways – how they want
things to be, and how they should be. 

P – Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation.
It lets us learn ways to recover from our mistakes.

Q – Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose
your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation.
We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get
started before others will get on their feet and try to
push us around. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built
the ark.

S – Stop procrastinating.

T – Take control of your life. Discipline and self control
goes synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in
self improvement.

U – Understand others. You very well know how to talk, you
should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first,
and to be understood second.

V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat
on a dry land.

W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing.
And to believe is something that is rooted out from the
roots of motivation and self improvement.

X – X Factor is what will make you different from the
others. When you are motivated, you tend to put the
“extras” on your life like extra time for family, extra
help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or
talks like you. Value your life and existence, because
you’re just going to spend it once.

Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!    1   2
