Читать книгу Motivate Yourself - Donovan Andro - Страница 6

Wherever you are in your life right now, you may have arrived at the point where you are asking yourself: Is this it?

When you read that statement ‘This is it’ where are you putting the emphasis?

• This is it? – could mean you are questioning the quality of your life.

• This is it – could mean you realize there is no time like the present and life is for living right now.

• This is it – could mean you are celebrating a new-found experience.

Where you put the emphasis will reflect how you feel about your life right now!

So many people I meet have a diminished perspective of who they are and what they are capable of. They often completely underestimate what is possible for them in their lives.

In this book, I will be introducing you to tools that have helped hundreds of people break through their limitations and release their true potential.

I have had the privilege of working with thousands of people in over 20 countries; and after 25 years of experience, I can safely say that people fall into roughly speaking five categories. See if you can find yourself in one of the following:

1. You know what you want but are waiting for some future circumstances to happen before you can feel happy and fulfilled.

2. You know what you would like but do not feel you have the ability, confidence or resources to achieve it.

3. You don't know what you want but do know what you don't want.

4. You have lost sight of what's possible and have disengaged and resigned yourself to mediocrity.

5. You know what you want and are going for it but are often hampered by negative thoughts that inhibit your progress or journey.

Whichever category you find yourself in, this book will help you to move forward in a more positive and dynamic way.

So, ask yourself again: ‘Why did I pick up this book?’ There are a number of reasons and personal circumstances that may have prompted you to seek more motivation, meaning, purpose and fulfilment, so let's spend a little bit of time examining the plethora of reasons that may have prompted you to pick up this book.

• You may have reached a plateau in your life, and you are on a quest for more motivation and drive.

• You may be questioning the meaning of your life and your sense of fulfilment and purpose.

• Perhaps you have started a new job, or you are looking for your first job; maybe you have been made redundant and are having to take a long close look at what you want to do next.

• Perhaps your children have finally flown the nest and you are left with bags more time than you originally had as the lion's share of your life has been focused on looking after your family; now you finally have some time for yourself.

• Perhaps a major event may has caused you to take a harder, more analytical, view of your life.

• You may be simply looking for a boost of energy and drive so that you can start the next phase of your life in a more purposeful way.

Whatever circumstances you find yourself in, this book has the tools to help you motivate yourself, find meaning and discover your purpose, get a greater sense of fulfilment which will accelerate through to the next exciting stage of your life's adventure.

Together, we are going to go on a journey, and we will be travelling through different emotional landscapes until you arrive at a point where you feel ready to get motivated, engaged and purposeful in your life.

All you need to travel is this book and your journal.

How to read this book

I have organized the book into three distinct sections:

1. Discover yourself – A journey to yourself

Here we explore what lights you up, what makes your life worth living, what you hold most precious and dear.

2. Free yourself – What gets in the way of your happiness?

Here we will be surfacing all your negative thoughts and feelings that stop you from being the wonderful, self-resourcing person you could be.

Also in this section, we begin the work of re-wiring your existing mindset to make you a motivated and more fulfilled individual.

3. Motivate your life – Design the life you want to live

The third and final section provides a step-by-step guide including tools and tips you can implement immediately.
