The Two Forces of Motivation

Motivation is the thought form or energy that propels us towards an action or a set of actions. In our modern day society many attempt to be 'motivated' or have 'motivation' in order to achieve vast sums of wealth or success. A whole industry relies upon these forces and hopes to promote many motivational type services to these people. Many people seek motivation to achieve their goals because often, they do not have the required motivation within them. Those that are motivated naturally tend to secure well paying and successful jobs and or careers but it's important to note that motivation isn't only tied to money driven pursuits.

Sports people have to be motivated in order to achieve their successes. Unless they are motivated they would not have the dedication and the discipline that it takes to achieve their personal goals. Many sports people have said that it was their motivation, drive and determination that took them to the top of their field.

Many of our professions attract people because of their motivation to make a difference. For example, doctors and nurses need to be motivated by the wish to help people in order to have the dedication and tenacity to endure the many years of study. People that join the police force do so because they are motivated to keep the public safe. It also takes great motivation, will power and discipline to become a successful sales consultant because one must hear 'no' a hundred times before they hear a 'yes'.

There are two types of motivation: intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation is the type of motivation that comes from the activity that you partake in. A motivation that is derived from the simple act of whatever you choose to do. A doctor works to cure sick people and this act can give him further motivation to continue to act in the way.

Extrinsic motivation is the type whereby the motivational forces come from outside of the person. A good example of this is the pursuit of money. People act in a certain way because they believe money will be given to them as long as they continue striving and working away at such an objective. Many people will strive for more motivation, and go on to research heavily into the field in the need to obtain more of it to reach their goals. Many will purchase motivational programs, and audio discs or go on to attend motivational seminars and the like. In the last twenty years it can be said that a whole new industry has been formed. This self help or motivational industry has been formed to serve the new needs of people requiring more motivation.

Motivation is a powerful force that can drive a person to achieve great things. Without motivation, there would be no progress both from a personal perspective and a worldly perspective.

What is Motivation?

Motivation is the characteristic that helps you achieve your goal. It is the drive that pushes you to work hard and reach whatever it is that you are after. It is the energy that gives you the strength to get up and keep going - even when things are not going your way.

Unfortunately, we cannot buy motivation - it is not something that is bottled up and sold in shops. The good news though is that we can all cultivate this 'motivation'. The only thing we need though is a desire to change. We then need to work on ourselves, conquer our fears and push ourselves forward to reach our desired destination.

Motivational books are one of the prime ways through which you can motivate yourself. Listening to some inspiring music is another way - attending motivational seminars can also have good, long lasting effect on your lives.

Motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic (internal and external) - With extrinsic motivation, you are motivated by rewards from an external source - you will be inspired by the recognition that you will get from external sources. Intrinsic motivation is something internal - you are motivated to reach your goal for your own internal benefits - Example - reading a book so that you can get the grade you are after versus reading a book so that you can learn something.

Intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic motivation. But for many finding intrinsic motivation is not easy - it has to come from inside out. But once you get it, intrinsic motivation is much more powerful than the extrinsic.

Levels of motivation can go up and down. When you are down, it is important to work on yourself, by reading books or whatever helps you, and get your motivation levels up. Otherwise you lose the purpose in your life and it can affect your mental and physical health.

10 Ways to Motivate Yourself




Wish we could all stay motivated forever - but we all know that that is not possible. There are however steps you can take to get yourself back into groove sooner rather than staying low for long periods of time. Here are my top ten ways to get yourself motivated:

1. Motivation Books: This is my number one tip. Books written by experts are full of tips and strategies to motivate you. True motivational stories are inspirational.

2. Motivational Music: Music can always do wonders to your mood - Buy good motivating CDs, MP3s or download from iTunes. You can just let It play in the background and continue doing your work. I like to listen to positive music - irrespective of whether or not I need a dose of motivation.

3. Audio Books: These again can be played in the background - does not require too much of your involvement (like books). Listening to interview podcasts with successful people is another effective method.

4. Take a Walk: Sometimes just getting away from you work and taking a walk can be very effective. It refreshes your mind and helps you get clarity on issues at hand.

5. Motivational Quotes: Just a few well written quotes can do wonders to your mood. This is why desktop calendars with good quotes are so popular. Reading a quote at the start of the day can help you start your day on a positive note.

6. Past Successes: Remember your past successes. Remind yourself how you worked through the obstacles and achieved your goal at the end. This can be quite uplifting.

7. Become Picky: Be very picky about the type of news you consume (in the media). Too much television or too much depressing news can have negative effect.

8. Break Up Your Goal: Break your goal into simple actionable steps. Do a few easy ones first. Once you can actually see what it will take to get your goal, things will seem far more attainable.

9. Deadline: Set yourself a deadline - share with others that you plan to finish something before a certain day.

10. End Result: Spend some time thinking and listing down all that you will gain by moving ahead on a project - at the same time also list down what you will lose by working on a project. Sometimes just seeing it all paper can work miracles on your mind.

The Lazy Man's Steps to Becoming Self Motivated


It took great effort and careful planning for me to get off my duff and become a self-motivated person. To be successful, you must be able to motivate yourself. The steps I am about to share with you, I learned from my own experience and by observing the methods of some very successful people.

Figure out your “why”

Successful, motivated people always have a “why”. Determine what your “why” is. What part of your lifestyle would you really like to change? What parts of your life are you really, really tired of? Pinpoint these issues.

Here is my first list of “whys”

• I needed to spend more time reading and learning

• I wanted to make healthier choices in my eating and exercising.

• I was desperately tired of being inundated by a massive debt load.

• I was tired of being obligated to drive through the busiest traffic of the day and spend the best part of my day at an office surrounded by negative people that I really didn’t care to spend my time with.

• I was tired of telling my 12 year old son that I couldn’t afford the faster racing go kart or parts that would make him more competitive with the other racers.

• I was tired of hauling his kart and equipment in the back of our pickup instead of in a nice enclosed trailer like the other racers had.

• I didn’t want to be an “average joe”, or what I call “the cream of the crap”

Put a picture to your “why” ”

Once you have identified what your “why” is, put a picture to it. What would it look like if you already had the results that you attained by achieving your “why”. Spend several minutes every day visualizing those pictures. Play them in your head like a little movie.

I can see myself pulling in to my parking area in the pit at the kart racing facility with my 1-Ton GMC diesel pickup pulling a 20 foot enclosed trailer. When I open the rear fold down door, I roll out 3 matching karts. All of them are brand new and each has a different style of engine to run in 3 different classes. One runs a Yamaha KT100, one runs a TaG motor, and the 3rd is an 80cc shifter kart. As I peer into the back of the trailer, I see a workbench with cabinet drawers where I keep all my tools and spare parts neatly organized…..you get the point. See things as you wish for them to be.

Make some simple changes”

Start by making some simple changes in your routine. Don’t set yourself up to fail by trying to make sweeping changes that you can’t possible keep up with. Begin small, develop habits, and grow from there. Here are some suggestions that may help you get started.

Drink at least 2 quarts of water every day. I couldn’t believe how much more energy I had during the day after I began doing that. In addition, I have not gotten a cold or the flu since I started drinking water like that.

If you have a pattern of skipping breakfast, as many do, purchase some protein powder and begin to drink protein shakes as a substitute for breakfast that you can drink in the car during your commute. It is commonly known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There are good reasons that you should not skip this meal. This is a quick and simple way to get some nourishment to start your day right without taking time out to prepare and eat a meal.

Go on a 30 day fast from television. You would be surprised how much time can be recovered by eliminating TV. Use that time productively. It can be utilized much better on physical exercise, playing games with family members, reading personal development information, starting and developing a part time income producing activity, or working on projects around the home. I guarantee, you will feel much better about yourself when you involve yourself in these types of activities than if you spend three hours watching “Wheel of Fortune”, and reruns of “Friends”.

Create a detailed daily schedule (and stick to it) ”

Here is a sample of my schedule for one day during the week while I was still working at my job before my part time business had grown enough to become my full time income.

5:30 Alarm goes off. Spend 15 minutes visualizing success.

5:45 Shower, Shave, Dress for success, Breakfast drink

6:15 Scripture reading and prayer for 30 minutes

6:45 Leave the house for a 15 minute commute to work.

7:00 Job

10:00 Break time – spend 15 minutes walking and visualizing success

12:00 Lunch time – find a quiet location to read training material for business

1:00 Resume working at job

3:00 Break time – another 15 minute walk and more visualizing

4:00 Leave work for 15-30 minute commute home (any necessary errands can be run during this time before I arrive home.

4:30 Home based business for 3 hours.

7:30 Eat dinner and spend time with family (children’s homework, walking, games, etc.)

9:00 Spend an hour reading self improvement material and journalizing

10:00 Sleep

Write down a schedule for each day of the week. Be sure to schedule time for everything that is important. It is critical that you make time to do things with your spouse and your children. Never overlook your physical health, your spiritual health, and your mental health. Sometimes, there are unforeseeable issues that come up which require attention. Your schedule can be flexible, but only to the point that you are careful that you only change it to do something that will take you closer to your goals or rewards. Notice that there is no time set aside in my schedule for television, newspaper reading, or anything else that will not take me closer to my goals. Those activities are an enemy of success.

Start over now! ”

Everything in your life is like it is because of the choices that you have made. Everything you have done to get where you are today is already in the past and can’t be changed. All you have left is the present and the future. You have heard the phrase “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Nothing could be more truthful. Forget about the past, except for what you can learn from it. Start over today and become the person that you want to be. Begin now to create the new way of living that you desire. Your new way of life awaits you.

Different Ways to Make Your Boobs Grow

There are just as many ways to grow boobs as there are reasons why women want their boobs bigger. One of the reasons a woman may want to have bigger boobs is maybe they didn't develop very well during puberty, and she feels inadequate against her friends who have larger breasts. Sometimes, having small breasts make a woman feel like they are a boy, and can contribute to low self esteem. Growing bigger boobs may make them feel better about themselves, and boost their confidence.

While this may not seem like a good reason for growing boobs to some people, this may be because they themselves already have decent sized breasts. One thing is for sure, if you're growing boobs, no matter how big, it better be for yourself, and not because some guy wants you to enlarge them. Guys come and go, but your boobs are there to stay. If you are wanting bigger breasts because you think some guy will love you if they are bigger, this is not a reason, and you will regret it later. It is also something you should think long and hard about as well. Some people assume that if you have big boobs you are stupid, and many will treat you that way.

Now having said that, growing boobs can be done in many ways, both quickly, and over time. The fastest way to have large breasts is to have breast implant surgery. There have been many technological advances in breast enhancements over the years, and with new materials for implants, they are easy and relatively safe for almost anyone. There are even ways to get breast implants for free, and there are some websites where all you have to do is put in your profile, make a bid of how much money you need for your boob job, and men donate to your cause. What's the catch? Well these men may want to chat online with you, and may even want something more.

There are many advertisements online that say growing boobs can be done without surgery, with creams, herbal supplements, and other different techniques. Thinking that growing boobs in this way is a good idea, there is one thing to say, buyer beware. Many of the creams and things that are offered, don't work, or can be purchased on your own for much less money, and many of the exercise techniques that are offered can be found for free. It is important when growing boobs that you look at each of these websites closely, and don't be taken in by all the hype. Many sites will try to play on your feelings of inadequacies, or low self esteem. Those that try to do this should be avoided at all costs, because these will surely make false claims. In the end, not only will you not grow boobs, but your self esteem may even plummet further.

In the end, if you are interested in growing boobs, you should first speak with your healthcare provider to find out if there are any ways they can suggest. Talk to them first before you start taking any supplements, or trying to apply any creams or lotions. Some of these may actually contain ingredients that are unhealthy, and down right dangerous.

Ladies Do You Want To Feel Sexy? Then Try This

Sometime, things just get so darn boring. It makes you see life like a 1950s movie without a touch of color to brighten up the day. But if you thought that there's no way you can perk up, think again.

Resort to some things that will cheer you up, boost your confidence, and eventually make a life that is full of life!

For ladies out there, you may opt for a sexy bra instead of the usual types of brasseries that you have. Most fashion experts contend that wearing sexy things like a sexy bra will definitely make you feel sexy.

However, the big question is: what makes a sexy bra? Is it the material, the design, the color, or the person who is wearing it?

Some of you might prefer to answer with the latter choice in mind. But nevertheless, sexy bra is still a bra and needs a little more positive characteristics to give you the support and comfort that you need.

So, when choosing a sexy bra, it is still important to consider these following pointers so that you'll not only feel sexy but confident and comfortable as well.

1. When you want to show some flesh and your sexy bra might just do the job for you, consider the color of your tops and your sexy bra as well. Do not show beige sexy bra straps under spaghetti-strap tops.

2. Do not wear plastic strap sexy bras with halter-tops. It will not be a pretty sight even if you are wearing a sexy bra.

3. A single hook looks very neat, but it is not practical for fuller busts. A fastening with two or three hooks is much comfortable and supportive even during some hot steamy nights.

4. All straps should have adjustable levels fort the hooks to accommodate fluctuation of weight or washing changes. A stretch sexy bra with Lycra will get bigger over time and may not look sexy anymore, so does a sexy bra woven with a firm cotton material.

5. Women often wear sexy bras that are too tight thinking that it will give their breasts that needed lift. This should not be the case. A sexy bra can give you that much needed lift to show off those eye-popping cleavage at the same time fits just right. With this, you do not only look sexy but more confident.

6. Have a wardrobe of sexy bra. Think of the occasion that will call for it. Sexy bra looks good with laces on and looks even great with evening gowns or even with a simple night lingerie.

Have fun with it!

7. Remember that if your sexy bra lets your breast bulge above the cup or out of the sides near the armpits, creating lumps under the clothes, then the cups are too small.

8. On the other hand, if the cup material puckers or the breast doesn't entirely fill a molded cup, then it is just too big.

9. Likewise, if your sexy bra rides up in the back and is higher than the front, then the band is too long.

10. A nice, comfy sexy bra should never leave red marks on the skin after it's taken off because it means that your sexy bra is just too small.

11. A colorful, laced sexy bra is a definite turn-on. But remember not to wear then under a white or light-colored shirt. This will not make a good impression on you.

12. Do use a matching halter bra and pull it down with a low-back adaptor. This will definitely make you look sexy and cool.

There you have it! Just follow these simple rules on the dos and donts" of wearing a sexy bra and you'll never have an embarrassing moment. Indeed, a sexy bra partnered with a confident wearer equals a one hot summer night.

That is what chemistry is all about!
