ys of answering all the problems life throws at you。
24。 Create your relationship。
〃We are each angels with only one wing； so we can only fly and embarrass each other。〃 We can't create our truest selves without creating relationships in the process。 Relationships are everywhere。 In relationship； most of think with our emotions； not our minds。 Don't think with your feelings though。 Think with your mind and you'll be able to create the relationships you want in your life。 They just don't 〃happen〃 to you。
25。 Be where you are。
Most of us don't ever focus。 We're constantly feel this type of psychic chaos because we're always thinking about too many things at once。 Focus on what you want and it will e to you life。 Focus on being a happy and motivated person and that's who you will be。 FOCUS。
26。 Act like a hero。
We need heroes in our lives。 They are not a sign of weakness； they are a source of strength。 〃Without heroes； we are just plain people and we don't know how far we can go。〃 Heroes show us what is possible for a human being is able to acplish； therefore are very useful for anyone interested in self motivation。 You don't have to have just one hero； choose a number for them。 Put their pictures up。 Bee an expert in their lives。 Collect books about them。 Let your heroes lives inspire you。 They're only people like we are。 What distinguish them from us is their great level of self motivation。 To passively adore them is an insult to our potential。 Instead of looking up to our heroes； it's much more beneficial to look into them。
27。 Accept your will power。 *
Lot of people say they don't have will power。 But if you think you don't have will power； your under minding your own success。 Everyone has will power。 To be listening to this program you got to have will power。 The first step in developing your will power is to attempt it's existence。 The 2nd step is to know that your will power is like a muscle in your arm is yours to develop。 Your in charge of making it strong or let it bee weak。 Will power is not strengthened by random external circumstances。 Will power is an inside game。 Make a promise to yourself to be clear and truthful about your own will power。 It's always there。
28。 Say 〃No〃 to yourself。 ****
A lot of people are afraid of the word 〃discipline〃 but the root of the word 〃discipline〃 is the word 〃disciple。〃 When your self disciplined； you simply decided in the matter of the word to bee your own 〃disciple。〃 Once you make that decision； your life's adventures bees more interesting。 You see yourself as a different person。 You start to gain your own SELF RESPECT。 〃Self respect is the fruit of discipline。 The sense of dignity growths with the ability to say 'no' to oneself。〃 … Abraham Hassel。 〃When we say no to temptation； the power of that 'temptation' passes into our will power。〃 … Emerson。 We should do 2 things everyday that we don't want to do。 By doing this； we bee more aware of our will power。
29。 Make new word connections。
If you associate the word 〃will power〃 as harsh punishment you'll weaken your resolve to build it。 To increase your resolve； you need to think about 〃new word connections。〃 i。e。 weight lifters think failure as success。 Be more aware of the language you use and guide that language to more personal power。
30。 Deprogram yourself。
If you watch/listen to news programs on a regular basis； you belong to a very hypnotic cult。 You need to be de programmed。 Start be altering how you listen to the media。 Program out all the negative and cynical thoughts that you allow to flow into your mind unchecked when you hear the news。 Once you bee better at factoring out all the negative media； make your own news。 Be your own breaking story。
31。 Open the present。 ****
Practice being awake in the present moment。 Make the most awareness of this moment。 Don't live the past unless you like guilt。 Don't live in the future unless you like fear。 Just stay focused on today。 Watch what happens to your motivation。
32。 Serve and grow rich。
You can motivate yourself by increasing the flow of money into your life。 Most people are even embarrassed to think this way。 They don't want to think and grow rich because they'll be though as being greedy。 They believe to make money； you have to take it away from someone else。 Or they don't want to e across as being obsessed with money。 You know who are the people that are really obsessed with money？ People who think they don't have enough。 They obsess of money all day long。 It's in their family discussions； it's in their minds at night； it bees a destructive part of their relationships during the day。 〃Our first duty in life is not to be poor〃 … George Bernard Shaw。 The road to not being poor always travels through your professional relationships。 The more serve those relationships； the more productive you'll bee and the more money you'll make。 Allow yourself to link your financial well being with your increase passion for others。 If I live in poverty； how much love and attention can I give my children or to my fellow humans。 How much help can I give to others if I'm always worrying about being in debt。
33。 Imitate 'Columbo'
In your professional life； always be CURIOUS。 When you meet with someone think of yourself as a detective。 Ask questions。 By asking questions in your relationships； your already creating the relationship。 Your already self motivated。 Your not waiting for the other person to make it happen。
34。 Give away some power。 ****
Motivate yourself by giving someone else the ideas for self motivation。 You can have any experience you want in life； simply by giving away that experience to someone else。 It's called 〃Instant Karma。〃 If you want to be motivated； shift your inspiration to someone else。 Point out their strengths。 Offer encouragement and support。 Watch what it does for you。
35。 Talk to yourself。 * ****
Don't be nervous talking to yourself。 We associate it with 'insanity'。 But Plato said； 〃Thinking was the soul talking to itself。〃 There is no one better to talk to then yourself when you really want to get things worked out。 No other person has enough information about your problems。 No one knows your skills and capabilities better。 We get our creative thinking going each morning by asking ourselves 2 questions。 1。 What's good in my life？ 2。 What is there still to be done？ Because thought always perceive action。 Talking to yourself is a proven way to get motivated。
36。 Schedule your ebacks。
Progress toward your goals is never going to be a straight line； It's always going to be a wavy line。 You'll go up and e down a little。 Two steps forward and one step back。 Now most people will get discouraged when they take the two steps back； they think they're failing。 But they really hasn't。 They really in sync with the natural rhythm of progress。 Now once you understand this rhythm； you can look ahead on your calendar to refresh； renew； and recover。 Schedule your eback while you're still on top。 Schedule a block of time to get away。 Even to get away from what you love。 Because ing back is going to be that much more exciting when you've been renewed。
37。 Live you're true life。 *
〃When you say you fear death； you're really saying you've not lived you're true life。〃 This fear cloaks the world in true suffering。 How do you know what you're true life is？ How do you know how to live it？ First； find out what makes you happy and start doing that。 i。e。 if writing makes you happy； start writing。 Don't just wait until something is offered to you。 Be proactive about your happiness。 There is no goal better than this one。 To know as you lay in you're death bed that you've lived you're true life。 You did what it was that made you happy。
38。 Get up on the right side of the bed。
Get up on the right side of you're brain。 Dreams； and energy； and creative insight es from the right side of the brain。 Linear； logical； short term； and short sighted thinking es from the left side of the brain。 The best explanation of how whole brain thinking surpasses just one sided thinking is in a book called； 〃Frankenstein's castle。〃 … Wilson。 We have more control in drawing vital energy and creative ideas from right brain then we ever realized。 And what stimulates the right brain the most is a high sense of purpose。 If you had to carry a bag of sand around town； you're left brain would say it was boring。 But if you had to carry your daughter that weighed the same as the bag of sand； then you would carry her with more energy。 That energy es from the right side of the brain。 Purpose gives you that energy。 Self motivation increases when the left brain gets good at telling the right brain what to do。
39。 Use your magic machine。 *
Most people wait for an external crisis to finally kick in their whole brain thinking。 But the leads to a life of reaction other than creation。 The 3 best ways to activate whole brain thinking are through 1。 goal setting。 2。 Joyful work。 3。 Revitalizing play。 So rather wait for some external crisis to appear； you can create an internal challenge of your own。 Goals and games。 Goals and games motivate you more than anything else in the world。
40。 Get your stars out。
〃Make sure you get your stars out。〃 Let the universe that is in you shine freely。 Don't try too hard to force things； just get your stars out and let them shine。
41。 Be a finisher。
Do you want to know where fatigue really es from？ It doesn't e from working too hard。 All the research shows that fatigue es from not finishing your work。 〃Nothing is more fatiguing than the hanging on of an unpleted task。〃 … William James。 The best way to change your belief system is to change the truth about you。 To believe that you are a good finisher； you have to build a personal record of finishing tasks。 Each day make a list of small tasks and finish them。 We motivate ourselves by finishing things。
42。 Invent games。
Whatever it is that you have to do； whether it's a major project at work or a huge cleaning job a home； turning it into a game will always give you higher energy and self motivation。
43。 Interact。 ****
There's a huge difference between active relaxation and passive relaxation。 Active relaxation refreshes and restores the mind。 It keeps it flexible and toned for thinking。 Great thinkers have known this secret for a long time。 Some people use to paint to relax； others play the violin。 They can relax one side of the brain while stimulating the other。 When they return to work； their mind is sharper than ever。 Most of use simply deaden the mind when we want to relax。 We rent mindless videos； read magazines； we drink； we smoke； we eat until we're foggy and blotted。 The problem with this form of relaxation is that we dulls our creativity and it makes it hard to e back into consciousness。 But when we find ways to link thinking into our relaxation； we bee players in the game of life and not just spectators。
44。 Live a whole life today。
〃Make each day you're masterpiece。〃 While other people focus on some special day in the future； you should always focus on today。 Practice sessions are every bit as important than any championship game。 There is no reason to make TODAY the proudest day of your life。 Today is the macrocosm of you're entire life。 It's your whole life in miniature。 You got eternity in the palm of your hand。 Life is now。 Life is not later on。 And the more we hypnotize ourselves into thinking that we have all the time in the world to do what we want to do； the more we sleep walk and the more we miss life。
45。 Wele your problems。
Ever solution has a problem。 You can't have one without the other。 So why do we say we hate problems。 Why do we claim we want a hassle free existence？ Deep down； where our wisdom lives； we know that problems are not to be feared。 Problems are simply tough games for the athletes of the mind。 And true athletes always want to get a game going。 If you learn to love the opportunities your problems present； then your motivational energizes will always rise。 Remember； every solution has a problem。
46。 Drive a library。
One of the greatest opportunities you improve yourself lies in your drive time using audio tapes。 Use audio tapes to educate and motivate yourself while you drive。 If we leave what we think about to cha
