What Kind of Motivation Do You Have? Have you ever wondered why some things and not others motivate you? The evolving Science of Motivation has your answer. In a nutshell, motivation is complicated and layered. If you didn’t already know that, you have felt it many times. But it all begins with 4 kinds of motivation: 1) Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of you. You do it because you are compelled to - usually by someone else. 2) Intrinsic motivation is done for internal and personal reasons. This can be called your WHY. 3) Introjected motivation is similar. The difference is that if something is not done, you feel guilty. 4) Identified motivation is when you know something needs to be done but have not decided to do it yet. What kind do you have?  All of them. All types of motivation can be in play at any time. They can also overlap. However, when you discover your Intrinsic motivation - your WHY- you will find the momentum you are seeking.

Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams
One of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?” 
No matter how challenging a situation. 
Answering that question always reveals a clear path.
As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question, too. 
My answer usually goes something like this -
“Can you do it? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”
Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. To ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunities.
When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way. But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.
The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.

What gives you pleasant dreams and a feeling of happiness?

Stand up? Take a step? Repeat?

Do This Instead of Setting Goals

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent
If you’re like many folks, you have so much on your plate that it’s challenging to keep up— forget about moving closer to your goal. 
There’s good news: you are not alone.
Everyone lives according to the 80/20 rule, which almost everybody has heard about. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of all causes of any event.
However, to get what you want in life, there is a slight twist to the equation that says,
80% of the things you focus on have nothing to do with what you ultimately want. They are simply the busyness of life.
20% of the things you focus on in your life have everything to do with getting what you want and will yield the most significant return for your efforts.
When you eliminate, delegate, or ignore the 80% and hyper-focus on the 20%, the math changes, and suddenly, you are living your best life 100% of the time.
Focusing on your best 20% changes everything.

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best
Personal growth is a journey. It can be a lot of work. It’s also more fun to follow the rules of ‘Natural Law.’
1) The Law of Vibration states that thoughts are things. They are one of the most potent forms of energy. What you think about, you bring about. Pay attention to your thoughts.
2) According to the Law of Polarity, nothing exists without an opposite. Love, hate, hot, cold, yin, and yang. Opposites are different forms of the same thing. Embrace them.
3) The Law of Rhythm states life is a pendulum. What swings left must swing right.  
4) Every effect must have a cause; every cause must have an effect. That’s the Law of Cause and Effect. Everything in life is perpetual and never-ending.
You can speed up your success by understanding how these always-present forces are at work in your life.

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire
Not a day passes by without someone asking, "How do I get another person to help me get what I want?"
Persuading others is one key to getting what you want in life—and here's a big secret: It's NOT about you!
You'll get what you want faster by focusing on how you can help others solve their problem - and "Ladder of Desire."
This is how it works:
1) Most folks lecture others. That's a low level of communication and rarely builds a real connection.
2) A more practical solution is to show others the way and explain how to solve their problem. 
3) The most potent way is to offer to take care of their dilemma. That is the top rung of the 'Ladder of Desire.' Everybody wants their problems to disappear. Make that happen, and you'll be a Hero!
When you follow this approach, you make friends, prove your value, and are more likely to have your favor returned. Do good first.
