Inspiration requires not motivation.

I recently talked about this as part of my life story at my blog at SeanRasmussen.com. The topic was leaving my rat-race job and giving up a paid slavery position to pursue wealth and enjoy real financial freedom. What I found when I did that was that the new path to money and wealth that I’d chosen was much more motivating all by itself than anything else I’d done. Why? Because I was inspired.

Fighting Against The Tide

When you are not inspired by your work and your life you are constantly fighting against it. Everything you do is tiring, because everything you do requires loads more effort than it should—and usually all of that just to convince yourself to keep moving and doing. Just waking up in the morning is an effort, because you know that as soon as your feet hit the floor it’s time to start that treadmill that has become your life.

On the other when you are inspired by your choices, your goals, and your path, life is suddenly filled with energy. You need no convincing, because your life, progress, and success (even if that success is still imminent) is motivation all by itself. You do not require outside motivation or mind games to keep moving. Your inspiration is your motivation.

Live Free Or Die

My hope in discussing this today is to motivate you all to inspire yourself, and let that inspiration be your motivation. Think how much better your life would be if you were self-motivated just because you were doing something that you loved and enjoyed, or just because you were building wealth that would free your time, energy, and life. This is my wish for each and every one of you.

My wish is that you will find the intrinsic inspiration to build wealth and live freely. My wish is that you do not become one of the statistics, letting the rat race break you down until you are dead or broke. My wish is that you are inspired to make the best of life for you and yours, and enjoy every minute of it.

After the last couple of posts, I hope that I’ve fired you up and gotten you excited about living a life of passion and wealth. I hope that I’ve got you believing in the reality of how possible it is to do just that—and how much more wonderful a life it can be to be living true to yourself. I do know, however, how human nature has a tendency to take over, and how quickly enthusiasm and motivation can turn into feelings of discouragement when you don’t see instant results. So along with giving you the tools and resources to get jump started to holistic wealth, I also try to give you tools that will help you maintain your focus and stay on the path to success and financial freedom.

A Simple Cure For Being Discouraged

There is a simple cure for this problem of being discouraged. If you know me, or have followed along on this or another of my blogs for any amount of time, you will not be surprised to find me saying that the simple solution to overcoming discouragement is mindset; a positive mindset of success, confidence, and motivation; in short, the millionaire’s mindset.

All it takes to get you through those times when your confidence dips is to know that these periods are temporary—and that they’re not a real reflection of what is happening anyway. Discouragement is just another emotion. If you let it become big and overwhelm your efforts it will, but if you can take confidence in the knowledge that it is a temporary emotional state, and know that all the plans and actions you have taken are still working for you, it will be gone before you know it and you will find that whilst you were away, your initiatives continued to gain momentum.

What we’re talking about here in a large sense is faith—the faith to know that you are on your way to wealth and success, and that no temporary low mood can derail that. Faith is a big topic of our Mindset Mastery series on my SeanRasmussen.com blog, so I encourage you to join us there and also to download the Mindset Mastery book. It will work wonders to help you fight off periods of temporary discouragement, and to stay the course to a whole, passionate life of wealth and success.
