our victory； not to hurt them； but to create you。
69。 Try your mother down。
We first learn how to explain to world to ourselves from our parents； more especially our mothers。 This can be a disaster if the child has a pessimistic mother。 The disaster can only be temporary。 Optimism can be learned at any age。 It's not self motivating to blame mom if your a pessimists。 Blaming others is never self motivating because it strengthens the belief that your life is being influenced by forces outside of yourself。 Love your mom。 But change yourself。
70。 Face the sun。
〃When you face the sun； the shadows always fall behind you〃 … Helen Keller。 This is her way of remending optimistic thinking。 When you look at what you face grows in your life； what you ignore falls behind you。 If you turn and only look at the shadows； they bee your life。
71。 Look inside。
Most of us wait to discover who we are from the impressions we get from other people。 〃Oh do you think I'm like that。。。〃 If we get positive feedback； that's great。 It helps build us up。 But ideally； your journey should be internal。 Travel deeper and deeper inside to find out your own potential。 Your potential is your true identity。 It only waits for self motivation to e alive。
72。 Go to war。 *
Research shows during times for war suicide rates go down。 We don't to wait for something tragic。 We don't have wait until we go to war to attack us from without。 We can get the same vitality by challenging ourselves from within。 〃All battles are first won or lost in the mind。〃 Joan of Ark。 Ask yourself what would you do if you had only one year to live。 How would I live differently？ What exactly would I do？ This exercise can reveal skills inside of you that your not using today。
73。 Make small change。
When practicing self motivation； it can be mon that you get a lot of different type of mood swings。 Sometimes you'll be on a real high on the idea of who you can be and set up to change yourself overnight。 Then your old habits will pull you back to who you use to be and then you bee demoralized。 You have eventually accept the idea that great things are created slowly。 Great painting； great building。 So why can't you see that great people are also created slowly。 So if you willing to see yourself as a masterpiece in progress； then you'll love small changes。 You'll be excited by a tiny thing you did differently today。 You should celebrate because your moving in the direction of self creation。
74。 Do something badly。 ****
Sometimes we don't do things because we not sure we cannot do them well。 We feel that we are not 〃in the mood〃 or our energy levels is not are the right state to do that task that we have。 So we put it off or wait for inspiration to arrive。 We're so afraid to do things until we're sure we can do them well； we end up not doing anything。 This is the source of all writers block btw。 〃If a thing is worth doing； it's worth doing badly。〃 If your not motivated to do something you know you need to do； just decide to do it badly。 Add a little self deprecated humor。 Be edic about what your doing。 And then enjoy what happens to you once your in the process。
75。 Be a visioneer。
The principle of 〃visioneering。〃 You cannot do anything you cannot picture yourself doing。 Visioneering is just another word for picturing yourself。 Once you make the picturing process conscious and deliberate； you begin to create the self you want to be。
76。 Shine your light。 ****
Taking things lightly was the most spiritually advanced thing you can do to improve your effectiveness in life。 After all； it's God's angels that take themselves so lightly that they are able to fly。 And if his angels takes themselves so lightly； imagine how lightly he takes himself。 Your own motivational level will always be lifted with humor。 Anytime your stuck； ask yourself to take things lightly。 Ask yourself to look for some funny solutions。 Laughter will destroy all limits to your thinking。 When your laughing； your open to anything。
77。 Be a list writer。 ****
Never hesitate to site down and make lists。 The more you write down what it is that you want； the more you can dictate your future。 A goal gains power when you write it down and it gains MORE POWER every time you write it down。 Now we're always looking for motivation in what others have written。 But if you bee a creative list maker； you'll learn how to motivate yourself by what you've written。
78。 Be the change。 ****
Don't try to change other people。 It doesn't work。 You'll waste your life trying。 We talk to our children for hours in what we think they should do with their life。 But children don't change from what we say； they learn from what we do。 By being what you want them to be； you can lead by inspiration。 What you tell people to do often goes right by them。 Who you are； doesn't。 The change in you is contagious。 When you yourself change； watch how the people around you change。
79。 See the gold。 ****
In every circumstance； we can look for the gold or we can look for the filth。 And what we look for； we'll find。 Opportunities are only available to a careful observer。 Your opportunities will multiple when and only when you choose to see them。
80。 Simplify。
Why run a simple set of basic plays？ It's hard to be aggressive when your confused。 When you simplify your life； it gathers energy。
81。 Pin life down。
Countering moves is still countering。 Enter a wrestling match with a plan。 A serious of moves thought out ahead of time。 A goal without an action plan is a day dream。 Before any adventure； take time to plan。 Let life respond to you。 If your making all the first moves you'll be surprised on how often you can 〃pin life down。〃
82。 Strengthen your purpose。 *
Energy es from purpose。 If the left side of the brain tells the right side there's a sufficient crisis； the right side sends energy and sometimes super human energy。 That's why there's a difference from people who set and achieve goals all day and people who just do whatever they feel like doing。 The first person； there's always added purpose。 To the other person； there is boredom and confusion。 The two greatest robbers of energy。 Because we are totally responsible for our own sense of purpose； that also means we're totally responsible for the energy of our lives。
83。 Go on a news fast。
〃New fast。〃 Stop watching the news for a few weeks。 If you go for a period of time without listening to or reading the news； you'll notice an optimism and upswing upon your life and energy。 Your mind is yours to fill with whatever you want。 The more you accept the responsibility of filling it； the easier it will be to build an optimistic and effective mind set。
84。 Choose an action。
When you find yourself worrying about something； always ask yourself an 〃action question。〃 〃What can I do about this right now？〃 And then do it。 Any small thing。 Anything that worries you should be acted on。 Not just thought about。 Even small actions that starts to chase away your fears and put you back in control to what you want。
85。 Be a thinker。
There are 2 kinds of workers； the whiners and the thinkers。 The whiners are very smart； dedicated employees that worked long hours； but when they e into the presidents office it was always to plain。 They are great at finding fault with other managers and pointing out what's wrong with the system。 But they drain the president because they are so negative and it's hard to make them feel better。 Then after that； the president is depressed。 The thinkers however had a different way of ing to the office with problems。 The thinkers e to the president with ideas。 They see the same problems as the whiners but they already thought about possible solution。 When your mitted to self motivation； you'll follow into the realm of the thinker naturally。 You'll be more valuable to your pany and yourself。
86。 Choose enjoyment。 ****
There's a huge difference between 〃pleasure〃 and 〃enjoyment。〃 And when we're absolutely clear about the difference； we can grow faster in being who we want to be。 What we do for pleasure； for example； routine sex； eating； drinking； all kind of short term stuff； that's different than what we do for enjoyment。 Enjoyment always involve a use of a skill and it always involves facing a challenge。 Things like sailing； gardening； golfing； any kind of activity like that involving skills meeting a challenge results in enjoyment。 People who get clear on the difference begins to know how to consciously put more enjoyment into their lives。
87。 Read mystery novels。
The person with the highest IQ measured remends reading mystery novels。 They are brain builders。 The brain can be built as surely and quickly as the muscles in the body。 So the next time curling up to a good mystery； don't feel guilty。 It might be the most productive thing you done all day。
88。 Express your thoughts。
Go ahead and feel your feelings。 But when it's time to talk； be thoughtful and express your thoughts。
89。 Use your weaknesses。
Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses on separate pieces of paper。 Place the list of strength somewhere where you'll see it again because just looking at it will pick you up。 Now look at your list of so called weaknesses and study them for a while。 Stay with it until you feel no shape or guilt about them。 Allow them to bee interesting characteristics instead of something negative。 Ask yourself how each characteristic can be useful to you。 i。e。 Arnold's accent became a strength。 Now there isn't anything on your list of weakness that can't be a strength if you think about it long enough。
90。 Try being your problem。 *
Whatever type of problem your facing； the most self motivational process that I know of is to immediately say to yourself； 〃I'm the problem。〃 Because once you see yourself as the problem； you can see yourself as the solution。 By seeing ourselves as victims of our problems； we lose the power to solve them。 To activate the power inside ourselves we need to take only 2 essential steps。 1。 Own the problem。 2。 Create the solution。
91。 Inflate your goal。 ****
This self motivator can be used as an intellectual tool。 Take a certain goal of yourself and double it or triple it or multiple it by ten。 And then ask yourself quite seriously what would you have to do to achieve that new goal。 Remember； this is just a self contained game and not a promise to anyone else。 But it is a game that's fun to play。 Why？ Because it works。
92。 e to your own rescue。 ****
1。 You can't leave a place you never been。 2。 No one is ing。 I use to believe I can run from all my freighting thoughts and beliefs about myself。 But all that ever did was create deeper internal fears and conflicts。 What I needed to do was to get all my fears into the sunshine and demystify them。 Once I systematically was able to do that； I was able to dismantle the fears like bomb squid does to a bomb。 Acceptance and full conscious of those fears was the place I've never been。 Once I was in that place； I could leave。 The notion that no one is ing is more terrifying。 You can much happier if you value independence and self…reliancy then depending on someone else。 So when you accept the idea that no one is ing； it's actually that very powerful moment。 It means you accepted that you are enough。 You can actually handle problems yourself。 You can grow。 You can get strong。 You can generate your own happiness。 And paradoxically； from that position of independence truly great relationships can be built because they are not based on dependency。 They are not based on fear。 They are based on mutual independence and love。 See how much better you are at self motivation once you begin to celebrate the news that you are enough。
93。 Push your own buttons。
Motivation never has to be accidental。 Any form of motivation。 A lot of people like to motivate themselves musically for example。 But you don't have to wait for hours until a certain song es on the radio that picks up your spirits。 You can control what songs you hear。 If there are certain songs that lifts you up； create a greatest hits motivation tape for yourself。 You got much more control over your environment than you ever realized。 Learn how to push your own buttons。
94。 Strengthen your rehearsal。
The harder yo
