STAY MOTIVATED: RESET YOUR DAY!
Whether your goals are short term or long term, whether to lose weight or get healthy through diet and exercise or to stop smoking; get a job, find a better job or get a promotion; gain control of your finances or reduce your debt, or improve your relationships with family, friends, peers or a higher power... Whatever your goals are, you can only achieve them by the actions you take each day. Tomorrow is just a promise. Only today, right now, offers opportunity. And the biggest setback to your success comes from getting side-tracked. Your challenge throughout the day is to get back on course. Don’t give up; don’t put off ’til tomorrow; don’t criticize yourself for slipping. Instead, RESET YOUR DAY and get going again!
As Brian Tracy, best-selling author and motivational speaker, says, "Character is the ability to follow through on a resolution long after the emotion with which it was made has passed." Getting motivated is easy. Maintaining that drive is hard. It's the little decisions you make each hour, the day-in and day-out persistence that bring results. You start off on the right path, then something or someone instantly sends your day off in the wrong direction. There go those promises you made to yourself! Your next decision is crucial: Don't throw away the whole day. No matter what negative emotion you're feeling, you can RESET YOUR DAY. Just stop and take a few moments to focus on the reasons behind your goals. Then you can move forward with renewed motivation and determination, back on your path to success.
