This video provides an interesting perspective on the research behind what motivates us. I know for myself, this model is right on the mark! From my perspective, this is great information and provides amazing insight and a promising model for inspiring, motivating and engaging teenagers in their education and creating a life of passion, purpose, success and fulfillment! "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." ~ Bishop Desmond Tutu
International Positivity Jam! is a world-wide event brought to you by Positivity Nation. It takes place on February 28, 2011 from 9 - 10 a.m. It is a focused, intentional POWER HOUR of positive action! We're asking you to spend this hour helping others, making a difference, and sharing your positive energy with the world. Not sure what you could do? It could be as simple as volunteering in your community, delivering random acts of kindess, or writing (& mailing) letters of appreciation. And it could be as BIG & EXCITING as planning a flash mob for positive action or breaking a world-record during this hour doing something that helps others. Your imagination is really the only limitaton of how you can make a significant impact during this event. We've created a thread on the forum so you can share ideas and brainstorm. And you don't have to do this alone... involve others! Organziations, groups, and businesses can help to multiply the impact of International Positivity Jam! So are you in? Go to the link below to pledge your participation! http://www.positivitynation.com/international-positivity-jam.html Are you setting goals based on a "should" or on something you really want? Are they connected to your own passion and purpose? Most people aren't clear about what they really want for their life. Some people set goals based on what someone else thinks, wants or expects them to achieve. When you are crystal clear about what you want for yourself, setting reachable goals becomes much easier. Once you know what you want your life to be like, it's easy to recognize things as either opportunities or distractions. Then it becomes easier to push aside distractions and stay focused on the opportunities that appear to bring you closer to reaching your goals. Passion and purpose drives action. Action fuels success. Taking action is the most important step in reaching your goals. When your goals align with your true desires it's easier to keep commitments and take the action necessary to achieve them. What are your support systems? The best way to accomplish your goals is to surround yourself with people who remind you what you are truly about and celebrate your success with you! Read a book, take a class, join a support group or online discussion group, hire a coach, a personal trainer, find a work out partner, join a Mastermind group or networking group. Build in accountability! Studies show that we are more likely to break a commitment we make to ourselves than a commitment we make to someone else. An accountability partner is a great tool to have in helping us reach our goals! An accountability partner will check in on your progress, support you through set backs and keep you focused on the small, consistent action steps that will ultimately help you achieve your goals.
