Yesterday, I talked about starting now and not waiting. Well, I discovered another tid-bit of love to share with you guys. What is this little challenging nugget? Motivation via emotions.
"You are more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action." -Jerome Bruner.
Did you get that? Feel free to read it again for clarification, I will be sure there aren't any typos. You will never feel inclined to improve your self esteem. At least I never did. And if you do, it will never be consistent enough to make the maximum amount of impact. Growth needs to stop being an optional choice. It needs to be a priority. You are not doing yourself justice if you accept complacency. If you don't feel like growing, welcome to the club. We cannot drive our motivations solely off of emotions. If we do, we will never be in control of our lives. I am speaking to myself right now, if you care to know. This is one of the biggest areas of growth that I am striving for in 2015. If I can dedicate myself to improving daily, regardless of my emotions or attitude, I allow for guaranteed growth. I am committing to consistency, I am committing to reliability. And that is my "word for the year." Reliable. Above all else, I want my behavior to be reliable. There will be days when I fall off the wagon, but if I commit to something, I want to win or fall down swinging. God gives to those he trusts. I want to earn his trust. My behavior needs to be reliable. I will make 2015 the best year yet. With commitment to excellence, the proper attitude, and achieved reliability, there is no room for anything else. This year is going to be fought for. This is the beginning of a year of intentionality, in convenience or not.
