In this episode: We are using imagery to shift your mindset from negative to positive. 

Imagine finally taking off seven coats you've been wearing on top of each other for years and years. You've forgotten that some people consciously choose to live without seven layers of coats on even though most people are living that way.

You remember the possibilities you imagined your life would be when you were a child. You decide to take off the coats and start running joyfully through the spring fields you forgot about. You move into the light where you finally begin to laugh and live feeling inspired every day instead of simply walking around reacting to life, complaining, counting down the days to the next weekend or vacation until you finally die.

Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution, and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.

Let us continue the conversation of H. O. P. E.  In this episode " P" stands for PURPOSE.  What is your purpose?  Tips on cultivating your purpose to sustain your life and your business.  Often time we question our purpose.  However, I do not want you to overthink your purpose.  Your purpose or others say "your why " was created for you and you only.  

Your inner drive is that feeling of determination, deep inside, that gets you to carry on, even when you've lost your motivation. It's your will to carry on even when you feel like it will be impossible to continue. Your inner drive is essential when it comes to whether or not you'll accomplish what you set out to do. It ultimately determines whether you succeed or fail in achieving your goals. If you feel like your inner drive is waning, here are five ways you can manage it and keep you on track to conquer your goals. 

Practice Optimism

Continuing to remain hopeful and confident that you will achieve success is extremely important for maintaining your inner drive. If you find you lack internal drive, look for sources of inspiration and draw from them. Find people that have similar mindsets to help build your confidence and feel better about your journey.

Make a Habit of Journaling

It isn’t easy to make a habit of journaling, but it will be well worth the effort when it comes to managing your inner drive. Detailing your thoughts and feelings on paper is an excellent way to control your thoughts and feelings more clearly. You can use journaling to vent your frustrations, or as a way to gain inspiration.

Create a Sense of Community

Surrounding yourself with inspirational people can also help to manage your inner drive. When you can connect with communities that share similar ideals with you, you can find encouragement in their journey. Communities, whether professional or personal, are the support structures that you need to surround yourself with when the apathy starts to set in.

Visualize Your Success

Merely visualizing your success should be enough motivation for you to push forward toward accomplishing your goals. Imagine how you feel when you achieve your goals, the rewards you receive, and how it will change your life. To help you visualize your success, you can create a vision board or Pinterest board that will provide you with further incentive to continue on your journey.

Practice Meditation

Meditation is practiced by many successful entrepreneurs and has been around for centuries. The great thing is you only need a few minutes to gain the many benefits meditation has to offer. Meditation will not only help to clear your mind so you can focus on your journey to success, but it will also inspire you to keep going when things get tough.

When you can manage your inner drive, you have a higher chance of achieving your goals, no matter how big or small they are. Do something today that will get your closer to reaching your goals.
