Motivational Power Quote

Personal Motivation

"People who are unable to motivate themselves

must be content with mediocrity,

no matter how impressive their other talents."

Andrew Carnegie, entrepreneur   

    

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Personal motivation  

Personal motivation becomes the key that unlocks the door of our enthusiasm and to a productive life.  

When we have a high level of personal motivation we have a high level of enthusiasm and it shows in our work ethics and in our relationships. We attract people into our life as a result of our enthusiasm.  

We will also find people with high level of enthusiasm approach their days with a positive can do attitude that helps them greatly in successfully overcoming their obstacles. 

A person who lacks personal motivation also lacks enthusiasm and it shows in their efforts, in their relationships and the path that they will follow in their lives.  

Personal motivation is a thin slice of difference in people and under stress the person that's personally motivated will find a way to prevail.  

When people want a job done and done well they select the person with personal motivation that will product the results. Be that person and you will achieve amazing results.

Hi Lou, We are the only ones who can motivate ourselves, in the end no one can do it for us.  Although, I have to admit to love reading your motivational posts!

Lou, great quote and insight to the quote!  They really explain well what factors into our success, if you have to have someone or something outside of yourself motivate you, that motivation isn't going to last much past the first really difficult task or trial!

Thanks for the motivation! You see this in sports also, I know some who are so talented, but lack the motivation to excel.

Great post.  I am reminded that sometimes when I am motivated I neglect to project that enthusiasm.  Thanks!
