Words Of Motivation – Why You Don’t Need Any!

Words of motivation! People seem to be always searching for these! I was inspired to write this post about words of motivation after watching motivational youtube videos this morning. After going through video after video and hearing the same movie quotes re-bundled and played over and over again I had a revelation. Why is it that we watch these videos in the first place? Obviously it is because we look for something to be stirred up inside of us. We search for a sentence or passage that really hits home for us to get us heading in the direction that we want to go. Well here are my words of motivation and I hope after hearing them you will realize that you already have all of the motivation you need!
Words Of Motivation – What You May Not Realize!
If you are like me and you have ever been motivated to do something then you know this motivation generally comes from an event or person influencing you to achieve more. This is no coincidence. What I am trying to do with my words of motivation is the same as what all the videos and speeches are trying to do. What is that you ask?
What I am trying to do is make you realize that you are powerful beyond measure! That you have everything you need to be successful inside of you already. All I am trying to do is make you realize the potential that you hold inside of you. I want you to consider this:
Think about all the events that lead up to your existence. Think about how many people had to meet and be in how many different scenarios in order for your parents to create you. We are not accidents, we are all hear for a purpose and we all hold the potential for greatness. It is the unleashing of that greatness that we struggle with. It is the fear that we will be too influential that holds us back as you may have heard.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.” – Marianne Williamson
Words of Motivation – Releasing Your Greatness
Anyone can release the greatness that they have within them. There is no guaranteed flawless formula for this. However I have come up with a few things I consider to be monumental in releasing your greatness.
1. Acceptance -The first thing I believe to be critical in releasing your greatness is acceptance. I mean this is the sense that you have to accept everything that has occurred to you up to this point in your life and come to peace with it. It is the past and you can not change it. Come to terms with where you been so you can pave the path for where you will go.
2. Forgiveness – This is a big one. There is no room for your greatness to be released if you have hate in your heart. This coincides with acceptance if you hold something in contempt from your past. It is not enough to forgive others in your life. Everyone has made mistakes in their lives, but it is those who forgive themselves that are truly able to become more.
3. Passion -What ignites a fire within you? What is something that brings out the best in you? What is it that makes you feel alive? Finding a passion in your life is not the easiest of feats, but when you find it you will know. These are the things that drive us and help us stay committed and focused. Never stop doing the things that you love because it is these things where your true greatness will shine through.
4. Love – Love is one of the most complicated emotions (if you can even term it that) yet brings so much meaning and joy to life. Love the blessings that you already have and stop worrying about the things you do not. Cherish the gifts you were given and you will never be short of what you need. I realize this is very vague and I wish I could be more specific. I will leave you with this. The reason love is such a powerful way to release your greatness is because it is void of negativity. If acceptance, forgiveness, and passion are the tools to releasing your greatness then consider love to be the toolbox where all these things can be found. (A little cheesy I know)
I hope that my words of motivation have inspired you or at least helped you realize the potential you hold. While this may not be the last words of motivation you need to hear, I hope they are some that will leave an impression on you.

Thanks for this article Brett. I needed a reminder today :)
Well I am glad I could provide you with one!
Great post. Love the insight into acceptance, forgiveness and passion. Couldn’t agree with you more. Very courageous to enter the domain of ‘love’ as it is so very difficult to comprehend and/or articulate such a powerful and awesome force. Thanks for sharing and keeping it honest Brett!!
No problem Rick had some thoughts in me and just wanted to share. Thanks for the kind words!
Wow Brett…this such a great post. People really don’t realize the power they have inside to become motivated to be the best they can be. I hope your posts inspires someone today. Thank you for your words of motivation. ;-)
Thanks Lisa I really appreciate the kind words. I hope if anything I can plant a seed in someone to realize there true potential
Keeping our hearts and minds in the right place is often one of the hardest things for us to accomplish, at least for me, anyway. Thanks for the lift!
Your welcome Crystal! I’m glad I could help!
Great article.
We have to really take a look and “see” sometimes that we have a lot of strength deep inside, and just have to release it.
So true. If people only knew half the potential they possessed.
Another great blog post, Brett. All words of wisdom that the majority of us need! Thanks!
