It's not about others; it's about you winning, and winning over yourself. By doing so, you will provide inspiration and encouragement to all around you.

To be an inspiration to others you have to first inspire yourself. There are times in our lives when things don't always go the way in which we had planned or wanted them to go. These are sometimes life's lessons which are thrown our way and which we have to solve in order to be able to move on. It was what experience is gained through toughing out these challenges that make us a better person.

Rather than look at issues as problems, look at them as challenges. What challenges do I have today? Rather that 'what problems do I have to face today'. How we communicate to ourselves is key to how your mind replies with the answers. One of the most important things we can to is to constantly talk to our conscious and unconscious mind each day, each minute of the day. What you say to yourself will eventually manifest itself in the 'real world'. So be careful what message you are giving yourself.

That is why it is so important to keep yourself positive spirited and motivated.

You can do this through different mediums. Books, Audio books, online forums, blogs or plug into a website which offers inspirational messages each day delivered to your inbox.
You can also ensure you have a positive circle of friends that are always inspiring each other and supporting each other.
If you have a home business you may wish to join organisations such as a business networking group, or the local chamber of commerce to meet like minded people who you can 'bounce' ideas off, and whom can put you in touch with others who are able to support you if you have any issues or problems.

Motivation has to be an everyday thing. If you drop your guard for one moment and the negativity or 'doubt' gremlins get in this can be very damaging and sometimes lead you into a spiral where you can't seem to find your way out easily.

Practicing good habits also helps to motivate you. Remember anything done consistently will aid to better motivation for yourself, and if you omit a positive personality, then other positive people will appear to automatically surround you creating a buffer to the world of procrastination and demotivation.

Do you realise it takes 21 days to ingrain a new habit, just 21 days. SO if you want to change the way you are currently doing things, give yourself 21 days of change, 21 days of breaking that old self destructing habit and forcing in a new more positive habit which WILL make the difference.

Here's to your new found motivation!
