@@lukaskkramer Hello my friend, Lukas. Well, actually I have many dreams in life to be realized. But one of them is to become a Successful motivational speaker. And how about you my friends, Lukas?
@@TonyOmila7x I'm cheering for you! A central dream of mine is to become a world-class coach like Brendon who can deliver life-changing AHA-moments for people on the spot!
Motivation simply means having a motive. Ironically for me, I'm most motivated when I'm least ambitious. I desire no rewards nor results. Not to become anything nor have anything or even control anything. When I'm in this type of mental space, that is when I'm most motivated,most driven. When there's nothing to achieve or become, the whole world is yours, you are the whole world. What else would you want? That is the point when you realise that you are free to do anything you wish to do with your time. And you do your best when you feel free.
Same here. As soon as I surrender to the present moment and just do what I want to do without expectations, everything starts flowing better for me. I find that the expectation paralyze me.
Every time I feel like I need a boost in my life I always come back to your channel. Your videos never disappoint. You are so gifted Brendon! Thank you for the positive energy today brother - I really needed it!!! -Jake (San Diego, CA)
WOW, what a generous compliment, Jake! I also want to thank you for 'bringing the joy' and for your commitment to personal development. Many people, when they feel down, would never make the decision to watch something that will help them get back on track. Sending you warm greetings to beautiful San Diego, CA!
I'm so glad you addressed the physical health of it all at the end. It can be hard if you're a motivated person but you've taken on too much. I put myself right into burnout by being motivated and being super productive - but then not taking care of myself. You have to remember your whole self is connected - you can't just run yourself into the ground and expect to keep going - even if you're still motivated. Eventually, something will quit on you.
Thanks for sharing about your experiences and insights, Jes - that's powerful! I agree. It's always about health, career/mission, relationships, and emotions. And Brendon always manages to address their interdependencies. What has been the most helpful to you in dealing with this challenge?
I've found even when I'm not motivated to do something, I push myself to do it anyway because I know once I get going, I'll GET motivated. Works every time.
WOW, sounds like you've put in a lot of practice to develop this discipline. Congratulations! (Also love that this is congruent with your name - 'Enjoy the Journey')
Everything we want more of requires effort; 🔥 and the ability to push through resistance if it is something we haven't anchored in yet as a empowering habit. Therefore, YES, we need MOTIVATION to get the energy flowing and to keep going through the difficult times when we just don't feel like ti. When we are FIRED up 🔥 focused on our WHY and following our passion then ti's easier to get motivated however we need outside stimulation to help move things along when we get stuck. I am fortunate that I love what I do yet I still make sure to fuel myself with inspiring messages via podcasts, books, writing, speaking out loud power declarations, meditations (I create my own), watching documentaries, exercising, and having meaningful conversations with like minded people. 💪❤️
so good Brendon, motivation is how my kids live. my boys rock the emotion of motivation. I can learn from them every day. Thanks for your work man. love the feeling and message. The big Mo is so key in Football and running and anything... so awesome
"Motivation is either fueled by our attention or by momentum. It either takes REFLECTION or ACTION to generate serious sustained motivation. Either reflection or action because ultimately from the reflection that gives us clarity, and clarity can give us confidence OR action can give us momentum and when we have momentum, motivation is Way easier to cultivate, generate and sustain obviously." BB
Ignorance is bliss... I know to much to stay motivated anymore. Lot of good advice here for someone that is not already to far gone. I need something much more "powerful" then this to wake up lol ;) My experience is that it helps a lot if you get a good start early on in the day and avoid all the things that brings you down (last part is pretty much impossible to do where I live now as everything reminds me of the all the bad that has happened and keep happening).
When you say you need something much more "powerful", what is it specifically that you feel you need? A lot of High Performance is bringing our mastery of the fundamentals up to another level. I've learned that a mindset of thinking that there's something outside of myself I need to do / be / feel something saps me of control and just keeps me stuck. How can we help you?
Hey Brendon😊 I so appreciate the depth and complexity to which you approach your topics! I recognize the deep dive, connection and commitment it takes to link diet and thought into our human aspirations. The will to become, an often utilized force throughout life. Stoking that fire is a passion of mine. You get it! I see you! Thank you for all that goes into your teachings, truly a master❣
WOW, Elizabeth, what a generous compliment! I can totally relate! Brendon's research is second to none and he's always taking the big picture into consideration!
'How do I complete this day with excellence...' Get back on track with my Brendon Burchard Planner for one, thank you for posting videos, so much appreciated and needed.
It's such a gift when we find the people - like Brendon - who we really want to surround ourselves with who will always push us forward! As they say: we become who spent the most time with. You've got this, Nour!
Let's admit it. We're not motivated all the time. But I would say, often, motivation is about momentum. Do "your thing" religiously and you'll find yourself no longer waiting for things to push and motivate you. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Love what you're getting at! As Brendon shared, it's about finding the WHYs that PULL you forward. The best mornings are the ones where you're on-purpose and generating momentum so that you are basically pulled out of bed out of sheer excitement for moving forward!
Of course, I'm not Brendon but I hope I can still provide some value here: I don’t think there’s necessarily a difference between the two - I’d say they are interconnected and they compliment each other in a virtuous cycle. In ’The Motivation Manifesto’, Brendon defines motivation as a combination of ambition - the desire to create, give, connect, contribute, and become *more* - and expectancy - the confidence that you’ll actually be able to fulfill those ambitions. It’s a feeling of necessity to go after what you want, what is. Important to you, and what brings meaning to your life. Discipline, in my book, is the virtue of doing what is necessary to serve that motivation. No matter how much we love our purpose, there will always be challenges to overcome and tasks to do that we don’t enjoy - that we would avoid if we could. Motivation inspires us to be more disciplined about our next moves, and the disciplined actions we take will reinforce our motivation … which grows our discipline … which grows our motivation … and on and on the cycle goes! Hope this helps!
This is amazing , thank you I have been watching your sessions since last year. I am now a Life coach - career Development Coach and really want help now how to set up my own TH-cam channel to serve people in coaching and mentoring manner like yourself Brendan
I needed this right on time. Started working part time So What’s taking me so long to start tha Side Hustle?? It’s in the brain ... I laid the foundation.. But HELLO I keep saying to Myself😜 Thank You for the video❤️
What's wrong with us!? I'm the same.. Idk if its fear of starting something new because there are people way younger than me creating succesful businesses and social media accounts that generate money and opportunities... The side hustle isn't as easy as everyone makes it look on social media. Everyone wants you to pay them for their course or something but idk if I will be motivated enough to fully take it on board
A way to look at motivation is to look at it as energy - the energy that gets us up in the morning, that gets us in the zone. Each of us is driven by different things and therefore we are motivated by different things. There are 9 key motivators: Searcher: Driven by purpose, by making a difference. Creator: Driven by doing new things or solving problems in new ways. Spirit: Driven by independence and freedom. Builder: Driven by money, competition or external rewards. Director: Driven by being in control of people and or resources. Expert: Driven by learning, knowledge or by sharing that knowledge. Star: Driven by external recognition. Defender: Driven by security and safety. Friend: Driven by belonging, by community. These are our intrinsic motivators and we will have 1-3 at the top that truly drive us and one at the bottom that may even demotivate us. Let me know if you'd like more information on this.
@@valdusoswald7130 thank you. I use a tool called Motivational Maps which will identify the ones that drive you right now and how much of them you have too
Do you feel like this is a bad thing? As long as it gets you to act positively and virtuously in the world, I wouldn't judge your motivations. From the stories of many great entrepreneurs and coaches, I have learned that money is always a means to some bigger purpose. It's the tool to achieve or feel something ... because isn't it right that all our ambitions for *more* are, in the end, based on how we want to feel about ourselves, others, and the world? What makes money important to you? Why are you motivated when it's part of the game? (I might be wrong but maybe there's an even deeper motivation to be found here for you)
Its okay to lose motivation, the key is to plan out the things you have to do and then get started with at least 1 thing for the day. You dont have to have this crazy about of "motivation" you just have to take one thing and take small steps
Haha, same, Cristina! But we can get there, too! I've been studying Brendon and his work for a super long time now and he's been sharing on numerous occasions that, just like us, he has to set up all the habits, and triggers, and reminders, to make sure he stays on his A-game. Like everything, it takes intention and work! Let's ROCK!
Good morning brendon, today i was talking to someone who was telling me that fo her its normal to have moodies what is you view on this one i personally think that it may be lack of the skill of self development not being in touch with self. what do you think? veronica
Thank you so much Brendon, I've already review you High Performance Habits book ini my TH-cam Channel. it's in Indonesia language.. It's very powerful and give us energy to achieve our goals.. take care

Lukas Kramer thankyou 😊
@@ips9518 You're SUPER welcome! So glad you're enjoying the quotes!
Lukas Kramer yes sir !! Surely.. thankyou once again 🙂
A mid-day checkpoint is a good idea! Definitely more effective than spiraling down on the later part of the day.
Love the insight! Challenge: Will you implement it starting Monday?
Amazing training! The fire analogy is perfect - build the fire every morning and stoke it midday - thank you!
Thanks for capturing that, Ianette!
Other times, I face an unbearable situation.
I begin thinking
‘It won't work anyway.’
‘They will all hate me.’
‘I will only be humiliated.’
Then I think about the situations I have been avoiding.
Meeting with people that make me feel uncomfortable.
Work that stresses me out.
Things I have been procrastinating for a while.
Try to identify the actions that you have been resisting.
It can be the things on your to-do list that you have been delaying for days,
things you haven’t even started because you think there is still some time left,,
or things that you have been putting off to do when in a better condition.
Feel the resistance to these actions with your body, not with your thoughts, and relax your tensions.
amazing
Yes, Brendon. You're right. We must to master MOTIVATION because it would really help us to achieve all our dreams in life. God bless, Brendon.
I love his motivation as well
