Finally! This is what I needed! This is what I needed to discover – my own buttons, I am sure I have them! It’s one of the best days in last months!!!
“Most of us pilot our own lives that way, without much knowledge of the instruments. We don’t take the time to learn where our own buttons are, or what they can do.” – says S.Chandler.
This chapter is made of golden words, there is not a lot what I could add 🙂
“From now on, make it a personal commitment to notice everything that
pushes your buttons. Make a note of everything that inspires you. That’s
your control panel. Those buttons operate your whole system of
personal motivation.
Motivation doesn’t have to be accidental. For example, you don’t have

your spirits. You can control what songs you hear.
If there are certain songs that always lift you up, make a tape or CD of
those songs and have it ready to play in your car. Go through all of your
music and create a “greatest motivational hits” tape for yourself.
Use the movies, too.”

– Sport or any kind of active leisure

– Thoughts about future and understanding that it’s not going to be bad all the time.
– The idea, that I’m the master of my life and it depends on me how I react to the things.
– The vision of the award. There is nothing eternal in this world, and all the efforts sooner or later a rewarded.
“You have much more control over your environment than you realize.
You can begin programming yourself consciously to be more and more
focused and motivated. Get to know your control panel and learn how
to push your own buttons. The more you know about how you operate,
the easier it will be to motivate yourself.” – concludes the author.
