MOTIVATION FOR A BETTER FUTURE

 

Daily news all over the world leaves much to be desired. The information you are constantly bombarded with by the newspapers, radio, cable news, television and news stations on the internet, are appalling. You wonder why there is much negative news sprinkled with little good news. You ponder why good news, does not get much air time or written about, as much as bad news. Your guess is as good as mine. The macabre, dangerous and sensational scandals, gruesome killings and disasters are what make news headlines to people.

Where do you fall into, in the scheme of happenings in the world? What are your hopes and dreams? How are you living daily? what are the fears holding you down from becoming who you want to be? How can you create a better future in the midst of all the negative events all around you?

You deserve a better future despite the pains, horrors and negative reporting everywhere. Let’s explore how you can live a dream lifestyle of prosperity and abundance in the same world full of disappointments and frustration.

Think of your hopes and ambitions

When you were a kid, you were in a world of your own, and you had wonderful dreams of greatness. Your playtime was a time of fantasy playing one hero or another. You even told your parents you shall become the president of your country some day.  As a child you were fearless, had no inhibitions and anything you wanted you could get. You believed you could touch the sky innocently. But as you become older, those dreams fade away and are substituted with fear of virtually everything, with the fear of failure taking prime position. Your hopes and dreams, disappeared as you told yourself they were childhood fantasies.

The mistake of passing off your future greatness, and accepting a mediocre lifestyle will hunt you for the rest of your life if you do nothing, to reverse the erosion of those childhood dreams of greatness. 

You must recapture your hopes and aspirations once again, if you want to live your dreams. Ask yourself this; what does it cost you to achieve your ambition? The answer is plain and simple; your decision, plans, action and persistence till you achieve the objective you set. So you are already down, why fear a fall. Why not try to rise up again from your fallen position? Who knows you may just succeed with a little push. As the saying goes, no venture no success.

Don’t focus on past failures and current frustrations

Failure is a learning curve, all great men must face someday in the future. To learn from failure, is the insight you need to succeed. Failure means experience gathering. Failure is not final but normal, since you are human and you don’t have all the answers. The key point is that you learn a big lesson from it and get back on your feet again. It is the person that stays down when he fails that is a real failure.

You can get a huge lesson of resilience from the faith a child learning to stand up and walk. She will fall many times, yet she will not give up but continues to try, until she is able to get up and stand firmly on her feet. She does this laboriously, day by day and finally after mustering great courage, and sterling determination succeeds in walking.

Have you ever wondered why she is so determined to walk? The answer lies in the child’s DNA coding. It is in her genes because she is human. She was programmed to conquer and dominate her environment. A child does not entertain any fear of failure hence falling does not deter her from trying once again, despite the pain she feels when she falls day by day. The second reason a child continues to rise up when she falls is because she has her parents, cheering her and encouraging her to continue on the part of progress each time she falls. Her parents urge her to dare and conquer and because of this support, conquer she will with laughter, grace and happiness written all over her face, as she succeeds on this bid to stand and walk.

Be reminded that you were once a child, and the same capacity the child has is in you. You shall conquer all your failures and frustrations, if you are determined. Just become a child once more in your mind, and take on whatever impediments you face, with that inborn power to win inside you and you will succeed. Always engage the help of your supporters, to cheer you on to victory when your belief in yourself wanes, and you will be successful.

Think abundance not scarcity

As you think in your heart, so you will become. I ask you; what do you desire irrespective of the present troubles, frustrations and failures? I urge you to begin a new by thinking abundance. Change your thinking from lack to abundance. You must change how you see. Seeing with your eyes is merely physical, but seeing with your mind is having a vision. I ask you once again; what do you see? Let your mind, set on having abundance physically, materially, and spiritually.

 

Whatever you desire according to the law of attraction, wants you but you must maintain a heart of expectancy. So think joy rather than sorrow, prosperity rather than poverty. Think wealth and abundance and imagine you have what you desire. Visualize it daily, and see yourself living the life of your dreams, and set goals to pursue the wealth you have imagined. Create goals and put those goals into action.  As you pursue those goals, it will move you closer and closer, to the paradise you have imagined and scarcity will disappear.

Replace fear with faith

There is a thin line between what you fear and what you have deep conviction for. To enjoy a lift in all areas of your life, replace fear with faith. Fear drains your energy and relegates you to a shadow of yourself. Whereas, faith is an energy booster which gives you a vibrant outlook of happiness, and the belief that whatever you want you can get.

A popular acronym describes fear as; “false evidence appearing real”. Fear is a figment of your fertile imagination. Fear is mostly fueled by lack of knowledge or understanding of how a thing works due to lack of experience. Ignorance of any kind can be chased away by seeking understanding. Just get the knowledge of what you fear and the fear is gone. Knowledge will build your faith and as you become more action oriented, and gain more experience moving towards your goals, fear dies naturally and you are better motivated to pursue and enjoy a brighter future.  

Think of unlimited opportunities everywhere

Position yourself to take advantage of opportunities that abound everywhere. There are a thousand and one opportunities, every day but you must be ready to take them. Opportunity does not wait for anyone, but it goes to only those that are prepared to snatch it. Good luck favors only those who accept opportunity.

You may ask? How does one prepare to take the next opportunity to create a better future? You take opportunity, by being motivated to learn all you can of any business or enterprise you wish to venture. Get all the information you can about the business process, where raw materials are sourced cheaply, how to market your products or services and where to sell finished products or services at competitive prices.  Build lots of relationship with helpers and leverage on their help. Get a mentor if you must, and by all means take massive action to exploit new opportunities, without procrastination and your life will improve.

Seize the day and flourish

Seize new found opportunities, apply renewed zeal, seize the day in all areas of your life to maximize your life. Become a new person, live a purpose driven life and break away from mediocrity.

Set big goals, pursue them with passion and endure all impediments that you may face, on your way to greatness in your chosen line or vocation. Taking prompt actions on opportunities, will train up your ability, to make quick and effective decisions with practice. Know when to seek for help from experts and from friends. Leverage on their help to achieve more.

Get information and learn from experts day by day in your line of business or service. Be dogged and unflinching in frustrating circumstances, and turn adversity into a school of learning, not a pity party.

Stay focused on the end goal, and before long that new life you seek, will unfold itself to you. Sooner than later, you will begin to enjoy that abundant life style where everything and all circumstances, turn out for your best interest.  

Conclusion   

To remain motivated for a better future, you must think about your hopes and ambitions, look away from past failures and present frustrations, think abundance not scarcity, replace fear with faith, think of unlimited opportunities everywhere and seize the day to flourish.

If you follow through with these suggestions, your future will burst forth in abundance.
