You keep looking for motivation and you probably keep waiting for motivation before you get
up and do something.
Well, that's not how you find motivation.
Let me help you with why you struggle with motivation and I'll give you answers of how
to find motivation.
Let's find it.Okay, you see this?
Motivation is not number 1.
Everybody thinks "Once I find motivation then I'll get going."
But if you notice it's really difficult to find motivation is because it's number 3.
If you could find number 1 and number 2, motivation is natural.
In fact, watch this.
Right here motivation, it's literally an equation.
1 + 2 equals number 3.
So, motivation is not the first thing a person really got to be looking for to get themselves
up and moving.
But as I mentor and coach people and I do a lot of mentoring and a lot of coaching.
I teach seminars.
I have anywhere between 500 to 1200 people at each one of my classes.
And I have 1 to 2 of those classes every single month.
And I've been doing this for 10 years.
Right here in Salt Lake City, I held 1 to 2 classes a month and there's a lot of people
I coach.
A lot of people that I train.
And along the way, I found that motivation is not the top of the equation.
And I"ve also found that people really do struggle and they keep thinking that motivation
is going to come through a drink or a pill or some kind of gel or some other thing.
But motivation is the end of an equation.
So, if you would live this equation in a proper order, you'll notice that you don't even really
have to think about motivation.
Because they just a side benefit.
It's a result of the first 2 things.
So, I'm going to walk you through what these 2 things are so you can build up this.
Because that way, when you wake up in the morning, you want to get out of bed.
And when you look at your calendar, you want to do what's on your calendar.
Instead of that moaning and groaning of "Ugh!
I had to do this today."
And you know what it's like to not have motivation.
It's like an energy drain.
It's like you don't even want to talk to people.
They don't want to do anything.
Hey, you're not alone.
There's a lot of people who struggle with this.
You're not alone.
But there's not many people figuring it out.
And I think that explains why there's not many actually setting goals and working on
their goals everyday.
Did you know that there's small tiny percent of people who actually work on their goals
every single day.
It seems like there's a lot of people.
But there's a lot of people who talk about it but there's not a lot of people who act
on it.
Because they don't have motivation.
They just don't have it.
Okay, so what's number 1?
Number 1 is to choose this.
You got to choose this.
Number 1 is to choose a direction.
You choose a direction.
You see, why have motivation when you don't know where you're going?
I mean Imagine if I put a blindfold on you and I said, "Get across the room as fast as
you can."
Well, I would give you the direction but you be blind to it.
You can't even see it.
And I could tell you about it but you couldn't see it.
And when we don't have a direction that we've picked that we can see, well we're going to
walk across the room in a very slow and super cautious way because we don't want to run
in to something.
We don't want to crush into something.
And so, we can have all the motivation in the world but when we don't know which way
to point it, we don't tap into it.
You could have motivation inside of you and actually right now, you do.
You have a reservoir of motivation inside.
But the motivation is waiting for you to pick a direction.
And you know how you kind of bounce around the ideas of what direction to go in life?
And you're not quite sure.
Well, the longer you wait to make a decision, your motivation starts to close down.
And it becomes a little more tough everyday to access that motivation.
That's why the people I mentor and the people I coach, I suggest to them picking some direction
is better than having no direction.
Some direction is better than no direction.
Because then you can keep your motivation alive.
Because if you have some direction plus this one, you can tap into motivation every single
day.
But if you remove this, you can't even get in to this.
So, you pick some type of direction.
And that begins the process of pulling up your motivation.
Because now it's going back to the same room.
And you're in the room and I take the blindfold off and I say, "Okay, get across the room."
You can get across the room like 20 times as fast.
And why?
The reason you can get across there is because you can see where you're going.
And you can tap into that energy that you have.
So, if you fell like you're moving slowly through life, you have not picked the direction
of where to go.
And instead of worrying about if it's right or wrong, head somewhere.
You're a good person.
And being a good person no matter what you pick is going to be a good decision.
It's a lot easier to course correct a vehicle that is moving than a vehicle that just sitting
there.
You just the steering wheel.
And the vehicle doesn't even move.
But if you can get moving, you can make turns and adjustments.
And it's a lot easier because your motivation is opened up and started to come out of you.
So, that's what you're looking at is pick a direction.
Okay, what's number 2?
Number 2 is this.
It's a good one.
Really good one.
Makes a big difference.
Okay, what it says is clarity of self.
So this means, Who are you?
What are you doing?
So this is where you're going and this is who are you.
So, if you pick a direction and then you actually stop and fonder for a moment and actually
study this for a moment of like, who are you?
What are you doing in this life?
What do you want to build and create in this life?
This is like your identity statement.
This is like where you want to go.
But this is who you are as you're heading this direction.
People today lack identity and they lack direction.
That's why they don't have motivation.
They lack identity and they lack direction.
So, this is what you do.
You get a pad paper out and you start being playful in writing down a description about
yourself.
Really, it's like... if you want to go to vacation, there's a description of the lodge
or description of the area.
Or you're going to buy something and there's a description on the back package or the front
of the package.
Well, if we look at you, what would be the description that's written across you?
Like what does this say about you?
Because a person who has great direction but has low understanding.
Low understanding of their identity, they're going to get small motivation.
But a person who has direction and they're clear about their identity.
Boom!
They're going to go.
Because they know who they are and they know where they're going.
You hear that?
You know who you are, you know where you're going.
Motivation?
Wam!
Just going to come flying to the surface.
So grab a pad of paper and get on your computer and write yourself a paragraph about yay big.
And literally this describe yourself.
And write down all the cool things about you.
And then write another little paragraph about what you wish you could do in the next month.
Where do you want to be in the next month?
Where do you want to go in the next month?
Make a decision, write a description.
Make a decision, write a description, activate motivation.
Activate.
Make a decision, write a description, activate motivation.
That's the 1, 2, 3.
That's the 1 + 2 equals 3.
That's the equation that you're missing in your life right now.
So, you might be the kind of person who literally takes this on and does this.
And then you're probably the kind of person where you're friends are going to wonder what
has gotten into you?
They're going to wonder where did you get all this motivation.
How come you're so alive with energy?
And then you could share with them.
"I did the 1, 2, 3.
I did it.
I did the 1, 2 ,3."
And it's so works.
We've got to know who we are.
I bet you might have forgot.
And you got to know where you're going.
And you probably haven't made that decision.
And that's why you don't have this.
But because you're going to do it, you're friends are going to notice.
And there's going to see this difference and this change and then teach them.
Help them.
And if you have kids and they're struggling in school, it's because you're struggling
right here.
Kids lose their identity so fast.
They don't even know who they are.
They're just a kid.
Sit down with your son or your daughter.
Help them.
And then find out where they want to go, what they want to do.
What do they want to create in the next couple of months?
If you're spouse is struggling with motivation, they don't know who they are and they don't
know where they're going.
And that's why they just sit there on the couch and watch TV.
That's why they sit there on the couch and stare at their phone all day long.
That's why they stay in bed and they don't get out of bed.
It's not there.
They don't know who they are.
If you need to help your spouse, write a paragraph about your spouse.
If you need to help your child, write a paragraph about your child and help them.
And then help them come up with some small direction they can point themselves in.
And read this to them.
And share this idea with them.
You can help them.
And it can start to wake up their motivation.
It's in them.
They just need to do step 1 and 2.
So maybe you go first and then turn to that person you love and care about and help them
out.
It really makes a difference.
Motivation is real but it's step 3.
