Josh Hinds Motivation and Inspiration Journal

Starting today commit to giving your absolute  best to every task which comes your way. Rather than seeing things as a burden or menial tasks remind yourself that each is preparing you for the eventual larger opportunities which lay in store for you.

To paraphrase business philosopher, author, and lecturer Jim Rohn, you can’t just start at the top, it’s as though life is making sure you can handle the smaller tasks that are required of you, before you’re given the responsibility of having to deal with the bigger ones.

Prove you can work through the smaller things that are asked of you and before you know it, you’ll attract greater opportunity, along with the greater life rewards that come with being able to work through them.

Being forward thinking, and on focus with regards to the goals you have set for yourself, and the direction you want your life to move in is important — no doubt about it.

However, it’s also important to give ample time to the successes you’ve experienced along the way. And we’re not just talking about the monumental wins either. Even the smallest of right actions all add up. They all count, and are important!

The reason taking the time to  recount your past achievements is so important is because in doing so you’ll find it to be a terrific motivator for helping to move you forward on your goals.

When you feel good about the place and path you’re on, and the progress you’re making (and have made in the past) you will find it to be that much easier to stay the course and dedicate the necessary time to accomplishing what needs to be done to get you to the eventual outcome you’ve planned for.

Recounting your past achievements will become a welcome
reminder and source of validation that you’re making things
happen in your life!

Here’s a positive affirmation you can repeat to yourself when you need a quick burst of inspiration…

“I take my personal and professional development serious. Through an ongoing commitment to learning I am acquiring the necessary skills to create the life I want.

With the many sources of knowledge available from me to learn from, whether books, audio programs, mentors, and the many others, there is no excuse for my not being able to acquire whatever skill set I need in order to achieve my own definition of success.

That said, no amount of knowledge alone will be enough. Applied knowledge is what will turn my dreams into reality. Like a flame to kindling, action is must be added to what we learn in order to reap it’s full rewards.”

Here’s a positive affirmation you can use to move you in the direction of your goals and dreams…

“The language I use, and allow others to use when they refer to me matters. Words have power, they can build folks up, or break people down. While it’s true that I can’t always control what others say about me, I can control what I accept to be true — and in turn give power to. I can make the choice to tune out what others say when it doesn’t help to move me in a positive direction.”

Here’s a positive thought you might consider (or even repeat to yourself) when you need a bit inspiration…

“I am vigilant when it comes to working on the goals I have for myself. I keep in mind the old saying, “out of sight, out of mind.” I write down and schedule times when I will work on the things I’ve identified as worthwhile to pursue.

Each of us has 24 hours in a day, if one person is capable of using that number of hours to pursue their goals, then I too can find the time to do so as well. I resist the natural human urge to accept excuses which attempt to convince me of all the reasons I’m too busy.

The simple truth is, I may very well be busy, life may be moving 90 to nothing, but the fact remains that if I want to reach my intended destination then I am going to have to work within the allotted time each day. I’m going to have to adjust and do the things necessary to give ample time towards achieving the success I desire.

I am as capable as anyone when it comes to manifesting my dreams. Through persistence, action, and holding on to the vision of what “success” means to me I am moving confidently in the direction of all the rewards life has in store for me.”

Consider the following quote if you would. I think the message it holds is well worth giving some serious thought to…

“No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.” — Charles Kendall Adams

If I might be so bold I’d like to share a thought of my own along this same topic for you to consider as well…

“The average person says “that’s not my job” — while the leader transcends their job description and inevitably reaps untold rewards for doing so.” — Josh Hinds

It’s easy to ignore the opportunities to “let the buck stop with you”, but in doing so you may be short circuiting the advancement which always makes its way to the person who goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Strive to be that person who goes above and beyond what’s necessarily expected of you and you will see more of life’s rewards making their way into your life.

-What are your thoughts on the ideas above?

“I hold tightly to the vision of what I want to accomplish. I leave little to chance because I have a plan which outlines not only where I want to end up in life, but how to go about getting there.

Because I make the trait of stick-to-it-ness my ally I will outlast those who give up or quit before experiencing the sweet rewards of success. I embrace and make my mantra the saying, “slow and steady wins the race”. If I happen to experience accelerated success the more the better, but I don’t require it nor do I give up if things take time.

I was made for greatness and every day I strive to live my life to the fullest.”

Here’s a positive affirmation you can use to inspire yourself to action…

“I take the time to evaluate, and where necessary adjust where I am with regard to the goals I have set for myself.

In doing so, and in taking action on the items I’ve identified as most important I am guaranteed to see progress and move confidently in the direction of what I have determined to be most worthy of attainment.

Through persistence, hard work, an honest commitment to action, and a willingness to learn what is needed I can achieve great things.”
