Motivation Begins With Motion

Motivaton Begins with Motion
We often hear about the word motivation. Often times it is in the negative such as: they just don't have any motivation. Maybe their self esteem is low so they are not motivated to do anything. What ever the reason if you think about it motivation begins with motion.
I have an idea. I make a choice. I express the idea and choice and then I must put into action the expression of this thought. If I do nothing then there is no motion or action so nothing happens with the great idea that I had.
If we look at a thesaurus we can see another word in the same family that carries the same idea. This word is progress. Someone may ask you what progress have you made on the idea that you shared with me yesterday? At that point our excitment may soar or it could fall to the floor and that depends on the action that you took after expressing your idea.
Immediately I think of the word procrastination. Have you ever said oh, I will get around to it someday but that someday never seems to come because your motivation is unactive. When we have an idea it is like inspiration and this inspiration only last for a brief moment. When that inspiration comes we have to act quickly on it or else it will be lost.
If we keep thinking about this idea of motivation we may come up with a purpose. We may think about the purpose of the idea and what we could do with it. How could it help us or someone else? So the idea behind this motivation is motion. If we have a thought or idea we should act quickly on that thought.
We have talked about being surrounded by the negative and often times that steals the opportunity that is laying in front of us. At times I feel like we need to install filters on our ears and filter out all of the negative we hear. If you have a great idea start the motion forward and don't stop. Filter out the negative thoughts and words and accept the inspiration as a dream or opportunity to move forward and change your life.
Be like the little train in the children's story that kept saying I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I know I can.
Motivationally,
