Find your Dedication

Do you have what it takes to be a dedicated person?  If you are, then you will have every chance at succeeding.  Why?  Because being dedicated means that you will stay focused, you will get up when knocked down, and you will learn from the tough times and improve for the future.  

If you don’t think you are a dedicated person, let me ask you why not?  What do you need to change to become one?  

One of the big things you can to help you be dedicated is have a very specific reason to stick to whatever you want to be dedicated at. This is your why.  For example, let’s say you want to improve health habits. You want to eat and feel better but as soon as you start it’s only a matter of days or even hours before you fall off the wagon.  This happens because your why isn’t big enough or isn’t sunk in enough yet.  To help you with this, pick a bigger and more meaningful reason why.  An example of a fitness why could be: I want to get fit to feel better.  However that brownie, those chips, oh look fast food may get you to deviate from your plan and your why to “feel better”  It may be strong for some but not all.  A stronger example could be: I want to be able to keep up with my kids and show them what it takes to be healthy.  Now you’re including your family and wanting to be there for them and show them what dedication, and healthy looks like.  Finding your why is a great way stay dedicated and focused on your goals.  Here’s an article to help you find your why. http://jonesintomotivate.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-your-why.html

Be a Light in the Darkness

Life may have seemed to throw a rock slide in front of your success tunnel and blocking your way to your goal.  It may have seemed to diminish all the hope and excitement from the people around you leaving you in darkness.  Don’t let it stop you and take away your hope and excitement.  Be a light.  Be the person who will dig out and push through the rock wall.  Be the person who is a light in the darkness attracting and spreading your hope and excitement to everyone that you meet.  Yes life will get hard, but stronger and braver than that.  Push yourself, don’t stop.  Be the light when times get dark.

Rep, Rep, Rep

Do it again, and again, and again, and again.  It can seem monotonous at times but keep going, keep pushing yourself.  If you want to achieve your dreams and goals, make sure you repeat the tasks needed and check in.  Will it seem boring at times, yes, but keep going.  Mix it up and change it up a little bit to keep life interesting but always keep your goals in mind and complete the tasks needed to get closer to them.  Just like a bodybuilder who wants to bulk up, rep, rep, rep.  

There will be days that you want to give up and slow down.  Don’t fret and don’t stress over it.  Everyone feels that way at some point, and usually multiple times!  But what set’s the successful people apart from others, they didn’t let those days stop them.  They kept pushing ahead, and did what they needed to get closer to their goal.  

Rep, Rep, Rep.  Again, Again, Again.  Keep pushing, you will get closer to your dreams, so keep pushing!

What is your WHY?

 Why do you want to be successful?  Why do you want to get ahead in life?  Why are you reading this? (To help you find the answer hopefully!) Why is a small word but can have a profound impact on your life.  If you can reveal and understand your why for doing something, you be much more successful attaining it.  Whether your hope is to get fit, join a team, have a better relationship with your loved one, earn more, etc.  Whatever you want to become better in, discover the reason why you want to be better at it.  What’s the driving force?  When you know what it is, write it down and put it someplace you see often to be a visual reminder.  Remember that your why isn’t a goal, it’s the reason why you set that goal.  So sit down, think, and discover your WHY.  Write it down, put it in a place you will see it daily, and get closer to your dreams!
