The Inspirational Booster
by Ty Howard
Motivation Is Your Choice
has to shutdown too.
~ Ty Howard
We all have been around at least one friend, family member, co-worker or stranger who was unmotivated. If you’re an upbeat and self-motivated person this can be draining on your energy and personal drive. If you’re a person whose level of motivation can go either way each day, it can be even tougher for you to not get sucked into this person’s unmotivated web.
A good friend of mine, Jackie, calls me regularly to talk about her life and day. Jackie tends to STAND OUT from all my other friends who call because she seems to always be unmotivated about life, work, you name. I honestly think she could win fifty thousand tax dollars, right here and now, and she would move very slowly to pick it up, and would turn around for her picture to be taken with a snarl and the most unmotivated “Yaaay, woo woo” you’ve ever heard in financial prize winning history.
The reality is—no one is motivated one hundred percent of the time. We all have our days of feeling unmotivated. Yes, even professional motivational speakers too! *Smile* If you’re unmotivated, that’s not someone else’s fault. Take full responsibility for your emotions and life challenges, and know that you have the ability to put into action your own method(s) for bouncing back to a higher level of motivation.
Never allow the negative character or actions of another person to sway you into being unmotivated. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to be and stay motivated. Nor should you shutdown your motivation to live small in order to comfort someone else who is unmotivated. Motivation is always yours to choose, maintain, and celebrate each and every day.
Your choices are made in every moment, word, thought, and action. Those choices are driven by what you focus upon. When you choose to be unmotivated, you choose to be sluggish, worried-filled, negative, and unhealthy. When you choose to be motivated, you choose to be highly active, creative, positive, and healthy. Focus on and choose the best, without ceasing, and that’s exactly what you’ll have.
Your life is a gift not because someone says it is, but because you know and see it as such. I truly hope that you too will choose and use positive and healthy levels of motivation without hesitation or reluctance?any time YOU wish.
