Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Motivation: The importance of consuming inspiring content and surrounding yourself with uplifting people
Mindset: Developing a growth mindset over a fixed one to perceive challenges as opportunities
Skill Sets: The power of continuously developing your skills through learning
Action: How to take consistent, small steps towards your goals to keep moving forward
[01:45] How Consumption Impacts Motivation
David quotes Zig Ziglar saying that motivation is like bathing - it only works when you do it regularly. Without the consistent practice of self-motivation, life begins to feel stagnant. Be careful with what you consume for information through reading, watching, and listening to ensure it inspires and excites you rather than bringing stress or negativity. Maintaining motivation requires regularly focusing on goals and aspirations. Then you will feel energized to take the necessary actions for improvements and progress.
[02:28] How Your Perspective Paves Your Path
Mindset is about perspective and perception, which determines your path and pace in life. Having an open, curious, and growth-oriented mindset allows you to view current circumstances and future opportunities in a way that leads to progress, rather than being fixed on pain and problems from the past.
[03:15] How Learning Increases Skills and Success
David quotes Jim Rohn's wisdom that the more you learn, the more you become, and the more you become, the more you achieve and earn. Developing valuable skills through continuous learning allows you to grow in your abilities, which leads to greater achievements, income, and repeating this cycle of expansion and success.
[04:05] Motivation Requires Action to Sustain
Motivation alone is not enough – you need to take inspired action. Denis Waitley says, "Motivation is a contraction of motive and idea and action. When you combine them, you get motivation." Hence, evaluate what you’re consuming for motivation and ensure you’re taking consistent steps to feel its energizing effects.
Notable quotes:
[03:39] If you want to have more good days, learn more. [03:50]
[04:16] Motivation is oftentimes misunderstood. It's thought of as inspiration, and we can become inspired and we can gain inspiration. But we can also lose inspiration as time goes on. [04:28]
[05:56] That process–becoming a habit and a commitment inside your calendar – are you organizing your life around that concept? Because if you are, you're going to have more great days. [06:05]
