There are many points and times where we will find ourselves motivated, but how do we go about sustaining and amplifying our motivation in order to achieve success? Too many people fail because they allow themselves to get distracted by losing their clear vision of what they want. We must be intentional about our attention to our goals. We must set time aside to give that vision attention so that it is always in the forefront of our mind and will help keep us motivated and better focused when distractions come our way. Next, we must put in some effort take action every day. Without action, it won't matter how much we believe and expect success. Without effort and action it won't matter how clear our vision is. Without effort and action, our goal cannot be achieved. So, the next question is how do we amplify that motivation? We must be acutely aware of our attitude and our environment. We must be very intentional and directive with our thoughts. We must choose a positive attitude, a grateful attitude, and attitude of joy! When we are faced with challenges, we must not look at how hard something may be or what we may lose by doing it, but focus on the positives, the ways we will change, the new things we will be able to do! We must be aware of our environment and create a positive physical and emotional place for us to thrive. If you have a weightloss goal, be sure to set up your kitchen environment so that it will help you succeed. Clear out the junk and bring in more of the good foods your body needs. Prepare your refrigerator and cabinets so the things you want to eat more of are easily accessible. Surround yourself with others who are striving toward the same kinds of goals. Spend time with people who will support you and not try to talk you into "cheating." Surround yourself with the kind of people that will lift you up when you are struggling and will challenge you to always be better. Spend time with those that will lovingly kick you in the butt when you need it, but support you through it at the same time! In order to sustain and amplify your motivation, you need to be sure you are intentional with your attention and effort as well as your attitude and environment.
