Dedication for Motivation

Dedication for Motivation

This is dedicated to my cousin who asked me one day, “how do you stay motivated?” I’m sorry for taking so long to answer but there is never a right time, but there is always a time that can be convenient.

Definition:
Motivation:
1. The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
2. The general desire or willingness of someone to do something

Dedication:
1. The quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose.
2. The words with which a book or other artistic work is dedicated

Proceeding:
The reason I start off with the definitions is because even I myself forgets the “Missionary” meaning of the word. Sometimes in search of something, we forget the root of things that has the answer to everything!

Here are simple steps to help you out and we will keep it simple and any further questions anyone may ask me…

Step 1: Vision
You tell yourself and talk to your self what is it that you want to accomplish, achieve, become, be, in the long term? What is it? Then you repeat what it is, then you repeat what it is, then you repeat what it is, then you repeat what it is, then you repeat what it is. Then you must see how you see how you feel when you say it. If it feels great to say, then that’s a start of a great journey

Step 2: Strategy
You must plan the things you must do in order to achieve your “vision”. Now this step is tricky because the things that we have planned will always steer off course, but we must know that those things are ONLY obstacles and challenges to make it seem we are going the wrong way. Just know that sometimes the fork In the road leads all to the same place, the only difference is timing. Some stumble the long road, and some are lucky to come across the short one.

Step 3: The dedication
a) This “quality” and this “commitment” we speak of, where does that derive from? I must say again the root, what is it that made you wake up and say I… or today I...? This is where the quality starts, where you have to measure the importance of one thing compared to another. That same process of decision that determines whether you like Pepsi or Coke better, is the same factors we must apply to the bigger substances of life. We must taste, determine, then proceed. From here you will determine the level of commitment we apply. Then you must learn that commitment does inquire sacrifice, whether it be time, sleep, missing events, etc.

b) In reference to the second definition, we usually “dedicate” our hard work for someone, but in my opinion, never forget our own self. That should be just as much reason if not more. We can always want more for the next person, but we can even give more if we can give ourself more. Without the lack of, we can be resourceful to others just as much, if not more.

Step 4: The Motivation
“How do you stay motivated?” she ask...
Text book answer: When someone wants something real bad, there is no questioning whether or not you want to continue, the only thing every morning should be what’s next? What do I have to accomplish today? What’s my next move? You should have every reason not to, and every reason to do so. This should be a desire that has an endless burn. This endless feeling that is non-stop, cause nothing will be able to get in your way.

Zues answer: (true stories) I been working doing something I love for 7 years, and been promoting for 2 years as I worked. I started a promotion company in February with someone because we shared a vision which could work. Putting 50 hours on two things I loved a week was exhausting but I did it. Then about two weeks ago, I woke up late for work (day job), and the first thing I thought was “Fuck everyone”. In the end I have to make decisions that will make me happy, and that would suit my best interest. I love cooking, and I know I can always cook! That will never go away, but to start a company, and push it further is not a “apply to a job” and just wait kind of thing, To obtain what I want, I must go for it, cause it is not going to me, and at that moment, I QUIT!

I took the 50 hours I was using for my day job and re-invested in myself. Sleep (I forgot how that felt), the company, for myself and the most important thing, WRITING!

Don’t get me wrong, in doing this all, I think about my mom, my siblings, my grandma’s and hold on to what my grandmother says to me always, “shonie ponie, you never want a girl beneath you, you want her at your level or higher, just as smart or smarter”. Well cuzo, if I’m the bottom, I don’t want a bottom bitch, I need to be at the top to have top bitches, think about it!

At the end of the day, again, no one is going to do things for you, you have to do it yourself and only you can exceed your expectations. Second thing is, sometimes you really can’t think about it, and just do it, if you’re not going to do things for you to exceed in life, then I hope your happy where you at. I make the most of where I am with the capabilities I have, but I will always be hungry for me, and I will eat!!!
