Your Intention "Just as an archer requires a target before he can shoot his arrow, you need a target before you can get motivated to achieve it."4 Your intention is a synergistic combination of three elements: desire, belief, and acceptance. It determines your motivation and how successfully you attain your goals... More Steve Jobs' 12 Rules of Success
Discontent as a Motivator Discontent, anxiety, and anger, if you use and harness it in a positive way, are some of the most powerful motivations you can have. Use them if you're not happy with where you are right now. Find an area of discontent, think things through, and taking action. Emotional Intelligence (EI) "Emotional Intelligence" refers to your capacity to recognize your own feelings and those of others, for motivating yourself, and for managing emotions well in yourself and in your relationships. "It describes abilities distinct from, but complementary to, academic intelligence, the purely cognitive capabilities measured by IQ. Many people who are book smart lack emotional intelligence but lack emotional intelligence end up working for people who have lower IQs than they but who excel in emotional intelligence skills."1 Case in Point Jim Clark When asked "What Traits Should Every Good Entrepreneur Possess?", Jim Clark who a billionaire who was involved in starting Netscape, Silicon Graphics and many other start-up ventures, answered, "Discontent and anxiety." Creative Visualization Creative visualization helps you use your natural creative imagination in a more conscious way to create a clear image, idea or feeling sense of what you really want and to achieve your goal by focusing constantly on it and giving it your positive energy until it becomes objective reality... More Fear as a Motivator You have two ways to go with fear. You can weaken the negative ones or strengthen the empowering ones.4 Take in mind a goal that you wish to achieve. Be specific about what you want and why you want it. Once you have your chosen goal in mind, it's time to create some fear. Imagine that you lived the rest of your life never having achieved your goal, and you never realized your potential or what you were capable of. Create as horrible a picture as you can about this possible future. Think about how you'll feel about yourself, how others will feel about you, and how much it will hurt to know that you'll never do the things you wanted to do. And most effective of all, you never became the person you always knew you could be. You now have fear working for you. Human beings will do most anything to avoid an intensely painful situation. By using this to your advantage you will be motivated to achieve your goal and avoid the pain of regret.4
