My hobby is racing and I’m an amateur race car driver. One day I was sitting in my race car ready to go out on the track before a race. As I was sitting there going through my mental check list was the car ready?, was I ready?...it came to me. I realized something.

The most important thing that had to happen was the internal spark.

The spark creates an explosion in the chamber that moves the piston and eventually the drive train that moves the wheels forward. This was my "AH HA" moment. We all need to have an internal spark to create our explosion to move us towards our goals. This became the foundation of “The MOTOvation System” that I will be releasing in the next few months. 

Here is what happens when we lose our spark. If you have ever been stuck in a rut of inertia before, you probably know the sense of helpless futility that takes over your life.  You want your life to change, but you feel powerless to do anything about it yourself.  You may find yourself constantly making plans to improve your life, but never quite getting around to taking action because it seems so intimidating.

Though taking action finding your spark sometimes can intimidate and frighten you, it can also empower you!  

If you learn to use it effectively, it can provide the fuel to keep you moving forward toward more fulfilling life circumstances.  When you do this, you realize that there was never anything to fear in the first place, and you will never get stuck again! Because, you now have the information to know how to get past a limiting belief.

Below are three simple steps that show you how to get started:

1- First, be sure you understand that your life is the way it is right now because of your hesitation in taking action!  

This is important, because you will understand the importance of moving forward no matter how anxious it makes you feel at first.

Then, decide on one action to take to get the ball rolling.  Think about your life right now, and ask yourself which situations you want to change first.  You might choose your career, relationships, health, financial situation, or anything else that makes you feel powerless and stuck.  Then think about one simple action you can take to inspire some positive change.  It does not have to be a huge action, just SOMETHING to start building momentum.

2- Once you have decided on your action step, youíll have to push yourself to take it no matter what!  

This may seem incredibly difficult or even scary, but remember that most often the things you fear are not going to happen.  In fact, you may not even have a clear reason for feeling scared ñ you are just afraid of the unknown.  Give yourself a pep talk or push yourself in any way you have to in order to move forward at least a little bit.  After you take that first step, be sure to let go of any expectations of the things that will happen because of it, and allow yourself to feel great simply because you did something about it!

3- Repeat the same steps.  Once you have taken one step forward, you will need to keep pushing yourself to take others.  

Consider this:  Even if you take a hundred small steps in a month, you will be putting forth positive effort to make changes in your life, which cannot help but bring about better circumstances!

The good news is that taking action quickly begins to build momentum.  Just as chronic non-action can create a cycle of negativity and stagnation over time, being proactive can create a positive cycle that continues to grow!  It gets easier the more you do it, which eventually makes it seem almost effortless ñ and you continue to empower and strengthen yourself with every step you take.

Find your spark!

Be the Difference!
