MY FAVORITE MOTIVATOR - NICHOLAS VUJICIC
Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend ; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch ; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be if you were living without arms and hands? Or what about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life?
Meet Nick Vujicic, pronounced ‘Vooy-cheech’. Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first-born brand new baby boy for the first time, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal.
A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Boris Vujicic had been expecting. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with such a massive disability? Little did they or anyone else know that this beautiful limbless baby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life. God uses Nick to touch lives and bring the hope of Jesus Christ to people across the globe.
Throughout his childhood, Nick dealt not only with the typical challenges of school and adolescence such as bullying and self-esteem issues; but also struggled with depression and loneliness. He constantly questioned why he was different than all the other kids surrounding him; why he was the one born without arms and legs. He wondered what the purpose behind his life was, or if he even had a purpose. According to Nick, the victory over his struggles throughout his journey, as well as the strength and passion he has for life can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and the many people he has encountered along the way have also encouraged him.
After school, Nick went on with further study and obtained a double Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning from Griffith University in Logan, Australia. By the age of 19, Nick started to fulfill his dream of being able to encourage other people and bring them the gospel of Jesus through motivational speaking and sharing his testimony about how God changed his life and gave him a future and a hope. “I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire.” Nick wholeheartedly believes that there is a purpose in each of the struggles we each encounter in our lives, and that our attitude towards those struggles, along with our faith and trust in the Lord can be the keys to overcoming the challenges we face.

He has also told his story and been interviewed on various televised programs worldwide. “If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!”

How To Develop Motivation in Your Everyday Life
Personal development, maximizing your potential, goals setting, motivating yourself for the better – these are some of the inter-related things that you need to work on as an individual. Here, we will set our sights on the many ways that you can develop motivation in life.
As long as you have a strong personal motivation, you can achieve almost anything that you want from life. However, remember not to fall into the trap of looking for short-cuts to achieve your goals. It’s perfectly fine if you have to take a long and winding road to achieve your goal. It will be an even sweeter victory when you finally achieve your goal, knowing that you have had to go through several hurdles to attain it.
1. Focus on one goal at a time.
This should be partnered with the fact that you should make sure that your short-term goals all help in achieving your long-term goals. One of the best ways for you to focus on one goal at a time is to make a diary of your goals – yes, write it down – so that you will have a visual representation of the things that you want to achieve rather than letting it all get lost in your head.
2. Get rid of all the distractions which might prevent you from achieving your goal.
Let’s say that you are a writer who wants to finish a book. How can you type away on your keyboard one chapter after another if there are many distractions surrounding you like television, friends chattering away or the lure of aimlessly browsing through the Internet. In order for you to stay properly motivated, make sure to steer clear of any distractions.
3. Completely block out any negative influences.
Finally, make sure that you are completely blocking out any negative influences in your life. If you feel that you are being distracted from your goal by a problem which does not seem to go away, ask yourself what you can do to eliminate such a challenge and distraction in your life. Maybe you are being sidetracked by negative thoughts and feelings because you have no faith in yourself. Addressing the root of the problem, completely blocking out any negative distractions and thinking purely positive thoughts is the best way for you to develop motivation in your everyday life.
A great way to motivate yourself with business goals is to put up a motivational quote beside your desk. Do a Google search for motivational quotes, then print off one and put it inside of a picture frame. Keep it there and read it occasionally throughout the day. Whenever you find yourself not looking at the quote anymore, or it no longer provides the inspiration that it once did, it’s time to change the quote. It’s perfectly OK to change this quote every 1-2 weeks for maximum motivation.
Some people make a habit of reading their goals either when they first wake up or right before they go to bed. When you read your goals upon arising, you may begin to notice that you find yourself doing more each day to help you reach your goals. Similarly, when you read your goals right before bed, you may notice that you wake up with good ideas that you never thought of before.
It’s human nature to have days were you aren’t very motivated. However, if you continue to surround yourself with positive and motivational things, those days will be few and far between.
The Importance of Finding Out what Motivates You
First, let’s find out what the importance of motivation exactly is. Simply put, motivation is that driving force which allows you to achieve your goals and go after what you want in life. If you want to change your personality for the better, get a promotion at work, start a new habit, be a better person who is part of the community, become a better parent for your kid – all of these things would be easier accomplished if you are properly motivated.As long as you have a strong personal motivation, you can achieve almost anything that you want from life.

Developing Motivation in Life
So how can you develop motivation in life? If you wish to accomplish a goal – be it short-term or long-term in nature – how can you find it in you to be properly motivated? Here are a few things that you should keep in mind:1. Focus on one goal at a time.

Constantly Work At Motivating Yourself
A goal doesn’t do you much good unless you are constantly thinking about, and working towards it. Write down your goal and place it somewhere that you will see it at least 1-2 times a day. If you have a weight loss goal, place your written goal beside the refrigerator. If your goal is to get physically stronger, place your written goal near your weight bench so you can see it when you are working out. This provides the extra motivation you need for those tough days.A great way to motivate yourself with business goals is to put up a motivational quote beside your desk.

Final Thoughts
It’s important to have motivation in your life. Motivation is the fuel that you need to continue striving for your goals. Soak up motivating things in your life on a daily basis. Read great books that will inspire you. Read great blogs that are both positive and informative.It’s human nature to have days were you aren’t very motivated. However, if you continue to surround yourself with positive and motivational things, those days will be few and far between.
What is Motivation?
At one time or another, many of us will ask ourselves the questions: What is motivation? And how can we cultivate it and utilize it to our advantage? While the answers to these questions may be slightly different for each person, the general philosophy behind motivation is the same.
If you were to boil down the definition of motivation to its most important factors, you would be left with two equal parts of desire and determination. In this sense, motivation can be seen as a strong desire to achieve a certain goal accompanied with the appropriate energy and determination to make it a reality. In other words, simply hoping for an achievement or desired outcome will not necessarily bring that goal to life. You will need to identify and take the steps necessary to achieve your goal in order to succeed. Having the patience and motivation to move closer to your goal one step at a time is what will eventually lead to success.
As you move through life, you will also encounter many different forms of motivation. So, answering the question — what is motivation? — is actually more complicated than it orginially seemed. First, the variety of motivators in life occur because the forces and objects that motivate us are often very distinct and numerous.
For instance, you may exhibit one type of behavior in order to acquire money or a related reward while exhibiting a completely different type of behavior in other circumstances.
According to today’s top motivational theories, the subject of motivation can be broken up into two main principles, which include intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Generally, intrinsic motivation involves one’s own personal interests and factors which they believe they can control. Alternatively, extrinsic motivation involves motivation that is generated from outside an individual person. Perhaps the most popular and powerful extrinsic motivator is money and the need to procure it. As you can see so far, the potential answers to our central question — What is motivation? — are seemingly limitless.
When examining the theories of motivation, it’s also worth noting that motivation can be either positive or negative. For instance, positive motivation includes goals or rewards that you will enjoy or feel proud of. So, working a few extra hours to earn money so your family can go on a great vacation is a form of positive motivation. Negative motivation is said to occur when you undertake a task out of fear or a desire to avoid a given outcome. For instance, you may attend classes and study hard out of fear of failing a given course rather than a desire to succeed in the course. It’s also important to keep in mind that neither positive motivation nor negative motivation is inherently bad or good. These dual poles simply point to two classifications which can help us to answer the question: What is motivation? Also, it’s likely that you will experience both negative and positive motivating factors throughout the course of your life. Also, at one time or another, you will likely encounter a loss of motivation as well. Luckily, there are steps you can take to improve your motivation and take action on your goals.
Now that you know the answer to the question what is motivation, you will need to set a clear and powerful goal so you can strengthen your motivation. This goal can involve just about anything as long as it’s important to you. Also, you need to believe that achieving this goal is possible. Next, you should brainstorm a list of steps you can take to achieve your goal. Keep in mind that these do not have to be monumental leaps and you really shouldn’t try to do everything at once. Instead, break your goal down into actionable items that you can work towards on a daily basis. As you begin acting on your goals, your sense of happiness and enthusiasm is likely to expand as well.
Moving forward, it’s also extremely important that you make a commitment not to give up on your goals. As your motivation rises and falls, try to keep the end goal in mind and never waver from your desire to make it a reality. Finally, you should try to surround yourself with positive people that support and encourage your growth. And don’t be afraid to venture into unknown territory since fear and vulnerability can often be gateways to growth. Because, after all, the answer to the question — What is motivation? — is an answer you will have to find for yourself in the end.
