Motivation is the Fire Within

Motivation is the Fire Within

‘Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light

that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.”

Stephen R. Covey 1932 - 2012, American Educator,

Author, Business, Keynote Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Motivation is the fire within

Motivation is the fire that burns from within you. . . . and you are the only person that can light the fire . . . . and keep it burning.

People will come into your lives and attempt to help you to light the fire of motivation within you. If they are able to create a spark in you, the only way that spark will turn into a flame is when you light the fire of motivation yourself.

If you rely on other person to light the fire of motivation within you  and to keep it burning . . . . You will find that the spark of motivation will flicker and burn out quickly.

You have the ability to light the spark of motivation within you . . . . and to turn that motivation into the flame of passion to reach your goals.

Your motivation will encourage you to confidently do a little more . . . . try a little harder . . . . and see your goals through until you have reached a successful outcome.

Light the fire of your motivation . . . . and keep your flame burning brightly in your heart and passion.

Motivation is the fire within . . . . and with passion you turn your motivation into a world of possibility.

Your Habits Create Your Character

Motivational Power Quote

Your Habits Create Your Character

“Our character is basically a composite of our habits.

because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns,

they constantly, daily, express our character.”

Stephen R. Covey 1932 - 2012, Author, Businessman,

Keynote Speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your habits create your character  

Whatever you consistently do . . . . will become a pattern in your life and become a habit . . . . and our habits become the foundation of your character.

Your character is formed in your habits . . . . and you demonstrate your character through your daily actions.

To form a strong character you have to have a direction to develop the habits . . . . and your standards and values becomes the foundation for your habits.

Your character becomes ingrained into your personally and becomes a way of life. You will routinely demonstrate your character in behavior without a conscious thought . . . . because they have been ingrained into your sub-conscious mind.

A person lives their character as part of their moral fiber and their character becomes their calling card. People can’t fake character, a person will either have it or they don’t.

Your habits create your character . . . . and habits will be formed in your choices. A person is a reflection of their character and their actions are a mirror image of their character.
