IWYK, Inc.'s Motivation Monday March - April 2013 | Seite 2

It’s WHO You Know, Inc. MOTIVATION MONDAY It’s no secret that today we are talking motivation. I also want to talk about happiness. The two go hand-in-hand wouldn’t you say? Motivation can lead to happiness. How so? The spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Let’s see how his words can benefit you. 1. “…what you think” - Be positive! Negative thoughts will block motivation, progression, and happiness in your life. It can consume you. Learn to think positive thoughts even when times get tough. 2. “…what you say” – I am a firm believer that what you put out into the Universe will come back to you. Whatever you think and feel comes up and eventually comes out. If you are thinking positive thoughts, you speak encouraging words to others which, in turn, motivates you to continue on a positive path. 3. “…what you do” - There are plenty of times when I have to do things that I don’t like to do. In order for me to stay motivated and happy, I had to learn to love what I do. This can be such a daunting task, but think about it. If you have a positive attitude and learn to first be content with what you do, you will then begin to like it, and that like may grow to love. When you love what you do you become more motivated in life and that leads to happiness. written by ~ Dawn Ja’Net President
