Don’t be against yourself. If you are not for yourself, no one is going to be for you. Remember that your life is about you, not about others.
If you cannot motivate yourself, if you can’t inspire yourself, no one is going to motivate you, no one is going to inspire you.
What you can’t do for yourself, no one can do it for you. If you want to motivate yourself, how is how:
Failure is an opportunity to learn
‘Failure is an opportunity to provide great customer service.’– Andy Ellis
When you fail at something, you are not a failure. You are a learner. Failure is not about you. You are just trying to learn something. You are not a failure. Never call yourself a failure. Nothing happens without first screwing it up. If you want to grow, if you want to get better at what you do, all you need to do is to find the courage to embrace failure. Remember, if you are not failing, you are playing it too safe. If you are not failing, you are not risking enough. To grow, you must take risks.
Do not blame other people for your mistakes
‘When mistakes happen, don’t waste energy blaming people; invest energy in building better systems.’– Andy Ellis
When you make a mistake, don’t blame other people for your mistake. Mistake is not about you. It is about your curiosity. It is about your education, about your learning. When you make a mistake, it shows that you are getting things done, that you are trying to get better at what you are doing. If you are not screwing up, you are not doing enough. You are too scared to even get out of your comfort zone. Look, whether you want to hear it or not, you are done with your comfort zone. If you want to be successful, you must get out of your comfort zone.
Retain the confidence of the new learner
‘Retain the confidence of the new learner, and temper it with the caution of the old hand.’– Andy Ellis
Life is about learning. If you want to add value to your life, if you want to add value to the lives of those around you, if you want to change the world around you, you must ‘retain the confidence of the learner’. When it comes to success, learning is everything. If you are not learning, you are unlearning. If you want to grow, just keep learning. You must never stop learning about life. Learning is good for your life. It takes you to a whole new world. If you want to be better than your old self, you must embrace learning.
Don’t forget your blessings
‘Your blessings exist only if you remember to count them.’– Andy Ellis
Appreciate your life. You have a lot to be grateful for. You have so many things to celebrate. You are not happy because you have forgotten what the Lord has done for you. Before you start complaining about everything, rememebr this: ‘It is a gift just to be alive.’ Your life is not a mistake. You are here to make a difference. If you don’t appreciate what you have, you are not going to be happy with your life. And you will find it really hard to attract good things to you. If you want more things, you must first appreciate what you already have.
Remember these:
Poor things attract poor things.
Weak things attract weak things.
Strong things attract strong things.
Success attracts success. Failure attracts failure.
Negative people attract other negative people.
Successful people attract other successful people.
Positive people attract other positive people.
So, what are you attracting?
