I just discovered Bryan Elliot’s YouTube series “Behind the Brand” with this video of Seth Godin. As I greatly admire Seth’s work, I went ahead and watched. I found it well worth my time, and feel it’s well worth yours. Overcome disappointment, and move forward.

Some Thoughts On Motivation
A few months ago I made the decision to live move effectively. I’ve been feeling stuck for some time, with the associated feelings of powerlessness and frustration. I’m not a fan.
I’ve understood for decades the power of the mind. That we can actively, proactively engage our thoughts and change the way we interact with the world. And that doing so is powerful and game-changing.
I was stuck in some old frustrations: regret, guilt, getting overwhelmed with all the potentials. All come from fear. All weren’t rationale. All held me back. And I got sick of it.
I’ve also known that what I feed my mind impacts my energy, my focus and my drive. I’m now shifting what I put into my head. What I watch, listen to.
I’m reading more. Such works as Good To Great, The Power of Habit, The 4 Disciplines of Execution. Every day I want to grow. Every day I want to be better when I go to bed than I was when I woke up.
I’m starting my day with a focus on motivation, on positive energy. This week, I’m opting for motivational videos (the one below is what I watched today). It does feel a bit silly right now, even with all I’ve studied showing the truth to doing this. When I get past the notions of “what others might think”, though, I feel better. The day feels lighter, and have more energy. It’s easier to say “no” to the things that hold me back.
The funniest part in all this: “what other’s might think” has done nothing for me. It adds nothing to my life. And, really, in the end, what have I to loose?
One day at a time. One action at a time. Each moment, each step, each day moves me forward. And that’s where I want to be.
You going to join me there?

Questioning Assumptions: Driving Growth
My mind is both my most powerful asset and my biggest liability. I’m both propelled forward and held back. Thus I constantly question my mind, my assumptions, my drive. I seek out opportunities to grow.
