Are you out of shape and trying to make a change? Are you trying hard enough to make this dream of being thin a reality? If you are still overweight or are not comfortable with your weight and think that you should not weight as much as you do then the answer to that question is NO! You are not trying hard enough, but that’s okay, all you need is a little bit of motivation and work ethic. Most people who are overweight develop unhealthy habits at a young age, which is difficult to understand considering the fact that Physical Education is a required class all throughout grade school in the United States and many other countries. It is not that people don’t want to be healthy and thin, it is simply that they do not want to have to work for their body.

Bad Habits – Your Free Ticket to Failure
There were several self help texts and books around many years ago, but these were hidden deep within obscure libraries and unless you had already heard of the author, you really had no chance of finding them on your own.
Nowadays, there is the internet with its millions of websites, discussion forums and mailing lists that with literally one click of a search engine, you can have millions of websites brought before your eyes without you even having to leave your chair. You can find information about the psychology of self help, about the process of self help. You can see stories of individuals who have achieved success through self help techniques and guides – anything you want is there for you to see. So, let me ask you, my friend, what is stopping you from achieving the success you want?
There are some people in life who succeed no matter how many obstacles and hindrances they have in their way. Their house can burn down, they will get another one. Their business may collapse and they can go completely bankrupt, they will get up and start another business. They can lose a leg, they will sign up to run a marathon.
Then there are some people who will fail no matter how many wonderful opportunities they have. The goose that lays the golden eggs could land in their lap and they would cook it and eat it. Why is this? There are many reasons to do with motivation and the ability to spot opportunities and seize them when they come. But another reason is that people who fail have BAD habits. They do not put themselves in the way of success because they have bad habits ingrained into everything that they do.
If you come home every evening and slump in front of the television with a drink instead of doing something energetic like going for a run, or going out to meet friends, then what will you gain? It is very likely that you will not gain much except weight. An important point to note is that those happy, successful people you see on television spend hardly any time sitting watching TV themselves!
If you create an atmosphere of success around you then chances are high that you will attract more success to you. This can be achieved by adopting successful habits and ditching all those bad habits completely. Make a habit of looking after your appearance. If you look like a successful person, then you will feel like one and you will BE one!
Make a habit of doing things which are aimed at success. Learn more about your field by reading for half an hour everyday rather than watching TV. Those little tips you pick up by reading about your subject or reading trade journals could really help you when you least expect it.
Think about your life and how you can stop those bad habits which waste your time and achieve nothing and try to introduce one or two good habits into your life. Read more, or walk more. Take up a hobby which will keep you interested and interesting to others around you. You never know, it could just be the path to success that you are looking for.
Motivation: A to Z
People often ask how to get motivated and stay that way. One of my favourite quotes from Zig Ziglar is that “motivation is like bathing – recommended once a day”. The premise behind the quite is simple – motivation is not something that you do once and then forget about it.
There are a lot of ways that you can motivate yourself on a daily basis. One of my favourite ways is to find a really nice rock that you enjoy looking at – it could even be one of those ones from the stones that are engraved with an inspirational word. My rock says “HOPE” on it. Every morning, I wake up and put that rock in my pocket and I remember all of the things I hope to happen in the future and I consider the things that I must do in order to make those things happen. During the day, when I feel discouraged, I reach into my pocket and pull out that rock and remember why I’m doing what I’m doing.
A friend of mine recently sent me an email that had the A-Z guide to Motivation and Happiness. I’m not sure who the author is, but I thought I’d share it with you today.
A – Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
B – Believe in your self, and in what you can do.
C – Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.
D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.
E – Enjoy! Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.
F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t lose sight of them.
G – Give more than what is enough.
H – Hang on to your dreams – they are your driving force.
I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to get the best of you. Stay away from toxic people.
J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be you. The key to failure is to try to please everyone.
K – Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.
L – Learn to love yourself.
M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.
N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.
O – Open your eyes. You need to see things how you want them to be!
P – Practice makes perfect.
Q – Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah build the ark.
S – Stop procrastinating.
T – Take control of your life.
U – Understand others.
V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.
W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.
X – “X”-amine yourself. Be true to who you are!
Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to spend it once.
Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!
