I do not know about you, but I invariably start my day with a hot cup of ambition. I refer to it as ambition because it motivates me, wakes me up, my mind becomes lucid, and puts me in the moment. This is part one of how we can be self-motivating and not so dependent on others or other things such as the aforementioned. It is always best to start with the most difficult first and that is our fears. Psychologists have indicated that the most debilitating to our emotional wellbeing are our personal fears and uncertainties. Unfortunately, most people put a band-aid on their fears, but this is only ephemeral or short-lived. We must be courageous enough to identify it by putting our finger on the “real” personal challenge, and if you will note, I refer to them as challenges and not problems, because challenges can always be overcome so that we can move forward professionally and otherwise. It is the rule that a situation that we may be experiencing is not as frightful as it appears. Once we have identified the obstacle or fear to our progress, it will put you in a position to make strides in accomplishing your goal. If you will allow me to speak plainly, we must realize that the biggest obstacle is the one between our two ears, yes, our mindset. For many of us, we find ourselves in a rut in life and remember that a rut is only a few feet from a grave. It is much like a tire that gets stuck in the groove as we travel down the road of life, and we sometimes cannot extract ourselves. So, start with this. If you have a negative thought always counteract it with a positive thought and practice this daily and strive for 21 consecutive days, for this is not a quick fix. For example, if you say, "I can't do this," finish the statement with "not yet!" Suggesting that you will eventually.
