Josh Hinds Motivation and Inspiration Journal

Here’s a positive affirmation you can use whenever you find yourself in need of a little motivation to move you forward…

“Each day I spend some time investing in myself. The time I put in to improving my skills pays dividends which can never be taken from me.

Outside circumstances can change — and though I may find myself with fewer resources through no control of my own, the skills I’ve developed will always remain. The important thing about this is that even in a worst case scenario should I have to begin a new — because of the skills I possess I can regain & surpass whatever I may have lost. Therefore, I am diligent in continuously upgrading my skill set.”

Here’s a positive affirmation you can use when you need a quick burst of inspiration…

“I will keep my focus on building up, encouraging, and inspiring others. I strive to be viewed as a people builder. Life rewards those who help others to be the best they can be.

Plus, every moment that I spend encouraging others I am at the same time developing a necessary component of leadership. When we teach others — we end up teaching ourselves at the same time.”

-What do you think of this affirmation? Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

Instead of seeing someone who takes the time to complain about a product or service you’ve rendered as a problem, try and reframe it for what it really is – an opportunity to grow, learn, and ultimately become better for the experience.

It’s been said many times before that we grow through life’s challenges, as opposed to those times when it’s smooth sailing.
When another person takes the time to share what’s wrong in their mind be thankful, because so few people actually do. Instead they go silently into the marketplace sharing their negative experience with others.

For this reason alone isn’t it better to correct any disagreements early on? If the other person asks for a refund strive to the very best of your ability to give it without hesitation or making it difficult on them.

In virtually every case you will find that you’re always better off when the other person leaves the experience feeling good about it even if you weren’t able to deliver on what you both originally agreed upon (so long as things are made right when you part ways).

In the short-term you may feel that you’ve lost out, but in reality you have built trust and paved the path for the other person to potentially do business with you at another time. Not to mention you will be surprised by how many people will actually go about singing your praises to others as they share what a rare customer service experience they had, “with the person who really wanted to make sure I left the transaction happy”. Because unfortunately so few people take this approach, when you do so you will put yourself at a distinct advantage in the marketplace.

If you can develop the ability to render this level of service with a smile you will differentiate yourself in a positive light. The rewards for being viewed in this way among others is well worth the effort it takes to do so.

When you build trust through your actions you strengthen your character. Your character determines your influence. Your influence determines the level of success you will attain – be it personally or professionally.

Here’s a positive affirmation you can repeat to yourself when you need some inspiration…

“I make a point to reconnect with the goals I have for myself – why I want to attain them, as well as all the benefits for having done so. Upon doing so I have a renewed sense of my ability to achieve whatever I wish to accomplish. Through planning and a true commitment to work my plan I am moving confidently in the direction of my greater vision.”

Accomplishing the goals you set for yourself is largely a matter of consistently keeping the junk thoughts which pop up throughout the day to a minimum. You know the ones I’m talking about — those little voices which attempt to tell you all the reasons why you can’t possibly pull off what you wish to accomplish.

If you can keep this rubbish thinking to a minimum you will literally amaze yourself with the number of successes you can rack up in life.

Here’s a positive affirmation you use when you need a quick burst of motivation & inspiration…

Here’s an affirmation you recite to yourself when you need a quick burst of inspiration…

“The way I choose to start my day sets its tone. When I make the decision to begin it by giving thanks for the positive things in my life, (no matter how seemingly few or bountiful they might be) I am setting the flow for new opportunities to come my way.

Each and every day I will remind myself that I can steer my outcome in any direction I wish by the actions I take. The steps I take day in and day out are the determining factors as to whether or not I achieve the success I desire. I take comfort in knowing that I have control over the actions I choose to do or not do.”

What we allow ourselves to focus on is what tends to transpire in our life. Therefore the question we must continuously ask is, “do I want more of this in my life?” — if the answer which comes back to you is anything short of “YES!” then you need to shift your thinking to focus more on those things and experiences that you do want to see occur in your life.

Awareness and knowing when our thoughts are no longer serving us helps to move us in the direction of the goals we have set for ourselves and is an important part of getting back into alignment, back to the place and doing those ongoing actions which are required of us if we truly wish to see our dreams through to completion.

Here’s a motivational affirmation you can use to inspire yourself whenever you need a quick pick me up…

“I take the time to write down and record my day to day wins. When I remind myself of past achievements and daily successes it provides the necessary fuel to move me towards the goals and dreams I hold for myself. Often something as simple as reminding myself that I’ve faced challenges before is all I need to continue moving forward in the pursuit of my endeavors.”
