Motivation?
Do you want
to stop smoking?
Do you want
to manage your weight?
Do you want
to feel more at peace?
What do you
really want?
So.
What is
stopping you?
Don’t believe
you can do it?
Then it’s
time for a new approach, a new way of looking at things.
Now is the time
to spring into action.
Advance towards?
Are you
yearning to go forward?
To improve?
Still stuck
in your thinking, feelings or behaviour?
Then sort
out your thinking ,feelings and behaviour
Reach out or
reach in ?
Instead of
looking out for help, search inside.
You already
have resources within you to reach your goals.
You can not
not change.
You already have
within you the many resources you need to achieve your goal, or you can acquire them, such as
skills, qualities, options and possible support.
Change for the better?
Do not be
afraid.
Change happens
all the time so just take one small step at a time.
Where are
you now in your thinking, feelings or behaviours?
Where would
you prefer to be?
Just think
about the steps you would need to take and if those steps seem to be too large
then just think of smaller achievable steps and before you know it you have created
a small pathway of stepping stones to reach your goal.
Help yourself!
You and only
you can make it happen.
Being
motivated will enable you to make advances in your thinking, feelings and behaviour.
By reaching within your own resources you will reach your goal, making the changes
you need to make and in doing so you will help yourself.
Seek advice,
look for support and do some research. Do something for yourself.
A stream bubbled
gently up from the ground and began to trickle over the grass. Its way was
barred by a leaf. So the stream just grew and grew in size until it was strong
enough to carry the leaf along with it. After a while the stream lost the leaf.
So the stream just wandered on its journey over the land until it came upon a
fallen branch .The stream pushed and pushed against the branch but the branch
would not move. It seemed too long to go round it and too thick to go over it. So
the stream just kept bubbling away and gradually the ground under the branch
began to move. Eventually the stream created a hollow under the branch and so it was able to flow on again over the
land.
After a while
it came up against a rock. The stream pushed and pushed against it, but the
rock did not move. As the stream grew bigger behind the rock it began to
explore around the sides of the rock. Gradually the stream found that it could
go round the rock on both sides and could join itself up again. Having got
round the rock the stream continued on its journey across the land.
After a
while it came to a dam which had been built across the land. The stream pushed
up against the dam, but the dam did not move. So the stream grew and grew, searched
and searched for a way to continue its journey. Eventually the stream grew so
much it reached the top of the dam. It looked over the dam and as it grew a
little more it was able to flow over the top. And as it trickled over the top,
the stream noticed more trickles flowing
over the dam and they joined together as they continued onwards .
