Inside this chest pounds a heart so steady. Inside this head lives a brain so alive. And somewhere in between rests a spirit so gentle, even the tiniest of scratches leaves a scar. . . . How would you describe your spirit, Dear Reader? What inspires you? What shakes you to your core? (Such easy questions to answer, I know!) 🙈 We’re in this thing … Continue reading SnapDragon Speaks: On The Gentle Spirit.
Hi everyone, I want to talk about motivation today. I had a few conversations lately about how we can motivate ourselves and maybe also others. It is an important topic, right? I think I am not shy to make changes in my life. I actually enjoy it very much and too much stability in one place kind of scares me. I think the way I … Continue reading Motivation
Hi everyone, I am wondering if you have thought about what keeps us going in life. We all have our ups and downs. What motivates us to go up when we are down instead of just staying in the down? I noticed two things that help me with this: meaning and hope. And I often discover that those are already within me and I might … Continue reading Meaning and Hope
“Wash out this tired notion that the best is yet to come.” – Dave Matthews I had to remind myself this week that motivation comes from within. It certainly does not come from the expensive, fancy bike I ordered and have been waiting for the past 7 weeks. It was supposed to be delivered next week. I cancelled the order. I got to thinking, and … Continue reading Motivation Comes From Within
By Ellen Jayne | We all believe we have control over our life, enough to make daily decisions to influence it for the better. But when we reach the extent of that control, have we learned to let go? Continue reading Your Convoluted Sense of Control
By Ellen Jayne | We can’t control countless components of life, but we’d be childish to let the chunks we can change cascade through the cracks. So, where do we start? At the beginning. Continue reading Mastering Your Morning Momentum
Hi everyone, This week was a very busy week for me. I was able to do much more work than usual thanks to a deadline. That got me thinking: what other than deadlines motivate me? So, let’s talk about it. Motivation is the push that gets us to do things. It can be internal or external. Internal motivation is when we do things because of … Continue reading Motivation
I know I keep rambling about dreams, goals, path and passion, without which we wouldn’t be anywhere. One can work hard, but without dreams that person would get no where because he/she wouldn’t know where to get. “You’ll never reach a destination if you haven’t set it first.” – Me Okay, we established we need dreams so we can work upon them; otherwise, we work … Continue reading Dreams aren’t enough. What else is required?
We talk so much about motivation and how it works and how it can help us get sh*t done, but I believe we forget one thing: motivation goes away from time to time. So what are we going to do in those times? How do we still go forward? In my opinion, this disappearing motivation is one of the biggest momentum killers. We still want … Continue reading Motivation versus Commitment
The more I listen to different successful people on YouTube, the more I wonder why not more of us get to similar levels of success. While writing these words I realized something: working hard is hard. Yes, it’s not a surprize or a revelation, but without a strong commitment, there is no way someone can go through the hell created sometimes by the hard work. … Continue reading Hard work is… Hard
How often do you have a crazy idea and after that you think it will never become a reality? You get from excited to sad very quickly, don’t you? That’s because the actual reality doesn’t match with the future one if you don’t know how it can be done. And that happens all the time, but once you really start thinking about it, you … Continue reading Impossible? Think again!
The week is almost done, but we still have lots of things to do. You’re probably tired because of all the things you’ve done so far, therefore I’d like to help you find some motivation to push forward until you complete your goals for this week. Here are some quotes that I find very powerful. “If you live for the weekends and vacations, … Continue reading Fuel for Your Soul
Oh wait, you already saw it… I don’t know what I’m going to write today! I just wished to write something different. I was bored of do-this-do-that stuff.Even my homepage is full of stories I don’t want to read. Right now, a beautiful and soothing meditation music is playing behind me. I’m not feeling charged today. But I am feeling inspired. And with the above sentence, … Continue reading The Story Without A Title
Believing in ourselves when no one else does is one of the biggest challenges we face in our daily journey. It really doesn’t matter what’s about, but whenever we try to do something and people around us have the audacity to decide what we can do and what we can’t, it might trigger inside us one of the two things: we either believe in … Continue reading Never Stop Believing – Video
This is one of the topics approached by most people and it’s interesting to see why. Tom Bilyeu said that most people ask him how to find their passion so I guess it’s a pretty interesting thing. What’s more interesting is that the people who ask this feel they need more in their lives. They feel that they are not doing what they were … Continue reading Passion and motivation are not the same thing
We all love inspiring quotes and I believe that on Mondays we need it the most so I made a short list with some quotes I find inspiring. “It doesn’t matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop.” – Confucius “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” – Carol Burnett “Don’t … Continue reading Motivational Quotes
Since it’s Monday again and maybe the energy level is not that great, here is something that might help with this (I found it very helpful). I honestly cannot decide which one is my favorite step. I like to take action every day and to keep the momentum going. Which rule is your favorite? Continue reading Motivational Monday
I listened to this podcast today where Tom Bilyeu talked with Ed Mylett about some interesting ideas. One of the things that hit me hard was the story about the time Ed Mylett went to the doctor. He said that this doctor had a different approach in addressing the health issues Ed had. Instead of prescribing some meds and getting to the next patient, … Continue reading Motivation through other people
In my “journeys” on YouTube while listening to what the greatest people have to say about everything, I’ve noticed that so many of them got awesome because they were at a very low point in their lives and they decided to do something about it. It’s interesting how we feel the need of some sort of change when we’re suffering and it seems … Continue reading From great pain to great motivation
Thanks to beckyallinclusive I remembered that there is a way to boost our motivation. It is recommended for us to write our goals down and read them daily for maintaining our motivation levels up. But what if we don’t know our goals? What if we need more time to find them and we also need motivation for that search? A great way to … Continue reading The Motivational Dream Chart
