Motivation: 3 Ds that Can Change Your Life

Desire

How bad do you want to beat Edgewater!! my high school football coach screamed in my face as he caught me going a little too easy one day in practice. That one has stayed with me because he was right, the amount of desire I had that day was showing up in the actions I was choosing to take. Desire is reflected in your actions. Desire with little or no action is not worth much. So ask your self frequently, "how much do I want this?"

Disgust

Not typically an emotion associated with positive change. Or is it? Have you ever been disgusted with a situation, a relationship or yourself. Most of us have, of course. But have you ever been so disgusted that you were motivated to change no matter what? Being sick and tired of being sick and tired with a situation can be a fantastic motivator for change when you decide "no more, not again, not ever!"

Decision

The root word for decision is incision, which means to cut. So when you decide, I mean really decide, that something will be different in your life, you "cut off" any other possibility. And it's reflected in your view of and attitude toward life. Bill Marriot, of Marriot Hotels said, "Failure? I've never encountered it. I just stumbled over a few temporary setbacks." That's decision in motion.
