If you were to climb to the top of the mountain and finally reach that all-knowing guru who holds the secret to life and are granted one question, what would it be? Some would ask the secret to great wealth. Others would seek to learn how to live a long and healthy life without aging.

A select few might want to know how to motivate themselves and others.If we acquire the skills to motivate ourselves and others then we have the basic tools to acquire almost everything else that a good life requires. It might be disappointing when the old man at the top of the mountain answers simply, “To know thyself and be kind.”

These are wise words and hold much truth, but it’s a pretty broad answer. To motivate or be motivated requires learning and dedication. Motivation is a skill that can be easily learned if you possess dedication. Yet, it takes an honest effort to remain dedicated to anything you really want, allowing enough time to see within yourself, the ultimate transformation.

We use motivation daily at home and at work. Subconsciously we’re striving to motivate ourselves and those we come in contact with.

We use our innate motivation skills to acquire the results we seek. We use these skills on our spouse, our co-workers and our friends everyday to get our way. It’s a delicate balance between communication and persuasion. Maybe the sage knew what he was talking about when he advised to know yourself and be kind to others. It’s long been said that we attract more flies with honey than vinegar.

Expect the best and settle for nothing less. If you’re doing the task or someone else is doing the task for you, insist on the best results or at the very least demand improvement over the last task. Pride should always motivate you to do your very best.

Stay happy and productive and you’ll stay motivated long enough to reap the rewards of a well deserved transformation.
