Think you need just motivation to succeed? Think again!

Riding through Chiang Mai's streets on the back of a motorbike, gratitude washed over me. It wasn't just the experience; I was inspired to return to Thailand again.

I was inspired by the peace, the people and the breath taking views all around me. Photo dump ahead ??

Do you agree you need Inspiration & Direction to move forward ?? ?,

Motivation isn't enough?

Genius is character, it's not in our genetics: agree?

Character traits can be developed and nurtured.

Character traits can be positive, negative, or neutral, and you can be influenced by a your experiences, your upbringing, your manager and colleagues at work and your environment.

Many geniuses throughout history haven't had privileged backgrounds but they possessed immense curiosity, work ethic, and perseverance.

This suggests character traits play a big role.

? You need to be inspired - Tia Rivera?

I believe with inspiration + direction + behaviours with the right intention to match your actions

You can get there!

Motivation vs. Inspiration:

Often it is said motivation drives people and it's been true in most cases

But for people who are constantly struggling to find a win, I believe it's inspiration that can get you closer to your goals

Imagine motivation as a lighter fluid that gets the fire started. Inspiration is the kindling and the logs that keep the fire burning strong over time.

In fact in 2022, I was inspired by Siddharth's vision and passion as he coached his community to live a life of freedom!

In fact, I've built an 8 figure business around it!

Here I am getting an award of appreciation from Sidz and the community for my passion which is a result of inspiration and my true intention to help and serve people!

I similarly show people how to be inspired through my Intentionality Coaching process and the LinkedIn Co-Pilot strategy.

How to turn your knowledge to a side hustle and do it in the long run

Sidz is one of the most down to earth and humble person who is on a mission to fix the current education and employment system which is broken!

The only way we can all fix this is by building a new breed of digital leaders and coaches like Sidz, me and you can be that person too!

His system has helped create over 180+ six-figure earners and more than 66+ Crorepatis in the knowledge business.

How can you use Inspiration like I did to Succeed in your Life and Career?

Remember and Understand, Genius is not genetics or natural talent.

Genius is about character. It's about doing the right things "- Robin Sharma

And, Character traits can be developed and nurtured.

Character traits are not set in stone.

Through our values, discipline, and resilience, we can develop and nurture the qualities that make us who we want to be.

Here's how these elements work together:

1. Values:

This is what you mostly function on. But what do you value?

Money, Happiness, Love, Freedom, Family?

Values are the core principles that guide your lives.

They represent what YOU consider important and right.

When you identify your values, you can choose to develop traits that align with them.

For example, if honesty is a core value, you can actively practice being truthful in our words and actions.

So if you work in a job that constantly makes you lie to your clients and customers, you are not congruent with your values

When a job constantly forces you to act in ways that contradict your values, it creates a state of value dissonance.

This can lead to a lot of negative consequences.

Stress, unhappiness and Inner conflict:

Constantly lying can cause you mental strain and erode your sense of integrity.

2. Actions:

Intention helps you develop the discipline you need.

It allows you to consistently act in ways that nurture the character traits you value.

For instance, if you value kindness, setting the right intention every morning when you wake up, helps you choose to be patient and understanding even when it's challenging.

3. Build Resilience:

This will give you the ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges.

It allows you to persist in developing positive traits even when faced with difficulties.

For example, if we value responsibility but make a mistake, resilience helps you learn from it and try again, strengthening your commitment to being responsible.

Norman Cousin said, “The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live.”

This can only happen if you relentlessly improve ourselves.

You must continuously reflect on every experience and rise up daily, so you don't get stuck in your life.

Nothing is more precious in the world than the moment you acknowledge and understand your true potential.

The question you must ask yourself is,

Am I ready to let go of that old past self that holds me back from taking action?

`And Do you agree you are not, the same person you were yesterday?

Comment below and let me know your thoughts.

Speak, let people around you finally hear what you have to say!

The wisdom you share from the challenges and struggles you've faced will help someone.

Each of us view the world differently.

Research findings suggest that one’s sense of self, and what social groups one belonged to, could influence individuals to make decisions that did not fit with their growth and wellness.

"You are what you think about all day long" Ralph Waldo Emerson

This post is for you to understand that motivation isn't enough

Watching reels, or reading inspirational stuff or even studying courses to improve your skill isn't enough!

You see procrastination isn't something we do because we are lazy.

It's actually a coping mechanism ( fear of something)

Wow, noone ever put it that way before. "I always thought I was lazy".

Did that thought cross your mind just now?

If you are afraid, you can always approach a coach or a mentor for knowledge and support, but you must take that first step.

“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is YOU who will get you where you want to go, no one else.” - Les Brown

"You can’t connect the dots looking forward;

you can only connect them looking backward.

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma.

But most importantly you have to trust in yourself that you are capable and can pursue your dreams.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith

You’ve got to find what you love.
