Positive Growth Benefits You Most

If you’ve already positively grown in some way today, keep growing. Build on that momentum and you will stay green and growing. If you’ve encountered nothing but stress, frustration and disappointment today, keep growing. Sometimes in order to bring yourself to the point of positive growth, you will have to think and push through periods of challenge and uncertainty. Through it all, positive growth benefits you most.

A good example of positively growing through a period of challenge and uncertainty is the Aesop’s Fable on “The Crow and the Pitcher.”

“A crow, about to die of thirst, flew with joy to a pitcher, which he saw at a distance. But when he came up to it, he found the water so low that with all his stooping and straining he was unable to reach it. So he tried to break the pitcher, then to overturn it, but his strength was not sufficient to do either. At last, seeing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher, and so raised the water to the brim and quenched his thirst.”

I hope Aesop’s Fable was as refreshing and satisfying a read for you, as it was for me. Why? It leads back to my ultimate point that positive growth benefits you most. It doesn’t matter if you’re having a good day or a challenging day, when your commitment to life is to continuously and positively grow—you can and you will.

It was Eric Butterworth who said it best when he said, “Don’t go through life, grow through life.”

Can you identify – right now – where you’ve positively grown today?

Did you start your day off in a much better mood and mode than you have in days past?

Did you focus and learn from a mistake you made today or yesterday?

Did you choose to exercise, eat right and drink the number of glasses of water you promised yourself that you would months ago?

Did you forgive someone who may have hurt or wronged you in any way?

Did you tell a family member or close friend that hasn’t heard you say those three special words in a long time that you love them aloud?

Time will pass and keep on going no matter what you do. You can settle on being a do nothing person or being an ever positively growing person. Your best strategy is to keep on going and growing, too. Benefit from and make use of every moment.

I encourage people all the time by saying, Do not be afraid of growing slowly; be afraid of not growing at all while you watch countless hours pass you by.

When your day is great, keep growing! When your day is exhausting from challenge, uncertainty or disappointment, keep growing! In every unique and pivotal moment, commit to keeping yourself growing forward. And as you grow, the positive possibilities will grow ever more significant in your world because—Positive Growth Benefits You Most.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Knots Free Media Launches Online Magazine, MOTIVATION 

Knots Free Media Pleased To Announce The Birth of MOTIVATION, The New Online Publication MOTIVATIONmagazine.com

  
      BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 17, 2012 /Knots FREE Media/ –
Ty Howard knows a little something about motivation; he’s been a professional motivational speaker for over sixteen years. He is also the founder of MOTIVATIONmagazine.com, the new online publication that is destined to set the standard and tone for "What Green & Growing People Read."

       Published by Knots Free Media, the magazine providing "Everything MOTIVATION" hit the World Wide Web this month with Howard as the founding Publisher and Editor-in-Chief.

       "Our new online magazine is here to give a big boost of MOTIVATION to a world in great need of encouragement, increased hope, practical strategies for success, and solutions to achieving and living better," Howard said. "It gives us a chance to explore new topics and formats. This isn’t a rehashing of motivational and self-help information that you can already find elsewhere on the Internet. The magazine and the website are well integrated, and will consistently deliver a balanced dose of motivation, offering readers insightful, fun, interactive, precise, and up-to-date information and strategies."

       Regular topic categories (Channels) on MOTIVATION will include personal, professional, business, entrepreneurship, finance, relationships, education, health and fitness, and service.

       "It’s going to be the most comprehensive and reliable source of motivation on the market," says Howard. "We’ve taken a unique ‘motivation’ approach that will enlighten, engage, entertain, inspire and energize people from all walks of life—no matter what educational or socio-economic level they are currently on."

       The inaugural quarterly issue — which spotlights Howard on the magazine’s cover — will set the tone for MOTIVATION moving forward with its team of twenty-two expert writers. The Winter 2012 issue’s theme is "The Pursuit of MOTIVATION: Getting & Staying Motivated."

       Editorial features that span the first issue of the online magazine include:

• Find Your Motivation and Use It! Ty Howard says sometimes when we struggle and we lose our motivation, we have to find some type of source or connection to get it back again. List 5 strategies on how a person can find their motivation and use it.

• Get Your Finances on Track: Not satisfied with the current status of your finances? Do you desire or attempt to make changes but don’t get the end results you were hoping for? Stacie Price lists ways for you to get your finances back on track.

• Leap to Sustainable Motivation: Sylvia Baffour says a common challenge that employees face in the workplace is staying motivated and productive amidst common distractions such as, procrastination, co-worker back-stabbing, missed promotions, office gossip. Learn how to surround yourself with encouraging and energizing co-workers at work.

• Get Fresh: Get fresh, it’s not illegal. There is a need for companies to offer fresh customer service, says Michael D. Brown, the author of the book Fresh Customer Service.

• Get F.I.T. for Life: I bet you can think of two people in your life who are the exact same age but live a completely different quality of life, health and attitude. One is grumpy, sickly and struggles to move their body. The other is vibrant, optimistic and stays extremely active with sports or other activities they love. Who do you want to follow?

• Mentoring Teens: For years, I fought the text messaging movement, believing it was impersonal and would only lead to a generation that could not spell because using acronyms has become the communication dubbed as cool, taking the place of Pig Latin which was cool back in the day. Learn from Ian Humphrey how you too can mentor teens using cell phone text messaging.

• Pursue Motivation & Happiness: Grand Master Jhoon Rhee believes that the universal purpose and values of human life are the first three things we must teach children. The three universal values are "TBL," which stands for TRUTH, BEAUTY, and LOVE. Truth, Beauty, and Love are good values, because they lead us to find the purpose of life, motivation, and happiness.

Is your company, like many other companies today, struggling with and fighting to get ahead of the many challenges eroding employees, sales, the company, and ultimately, the bottom line?

Challenges like —
• Attracting Good Talent

• Controlling Your Brand
• Keeping Up Communication
• Creating Opportunities
• Excelling in Creativity & Innovation

If your employees start the day in a good mood – a motivated mood – it can have a huge impact on the company’s performance! It can be the difference between your company continuing to miss one desired outcome after another, or celebrating the successful accomplishment of one desired outcome after another.

To create and maintain a company culture where every employee is committed to and Excelling in Excellence will require more than a single executive or manager rallying the troops. It will require an experienced group of professionals who know how to motivate and empower professionals on all levels to continuously peak perform, and make Excelling in Excellence “the norm.” This is where and why you should register your entire office and yourself to attend the Motivational BOOM^TM Seminar (Spring Event) on Friday, May 25, 2012 in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Motivational BOOM^TM Seminar will give you and your employees proven strategies to sharpen your business skills, ignite your motivation, effectively communicate and work as a successful productive team, accelerate your efficiency, cope with and embrace change, do passionate and meaningful work, boost you back to performing at your peak, continuously increase sales, achieve desired outcomes, and help you to increase your income.
