The Simple Trick To Developing Unstoppable Motivation

Introduction

This report will show you how to eliminate the biggest non-informational hurdle to success that most people face: the failure to take action.

The good news and the bad news are the same – whatever you’re doing right now, whether it makes you happy or not, is exactly what you want most to be doing right now.

You are exactly where you’ve wanted to be all along.

Yes, you might have a really strong desire to be in some other place, and you might even be moving toward that new place right now.

The problem is, we humans are complex creatures. We don’t just have one desire or one aspiration – we have a lot of them.

And where you are at the moment is the sum of all your desires, not just that big one that you know you should be working on and never seem to get around to.

Have you ever been there? You want something so badly that you can taste it, but you put off doing anything about it? Or you go after it half-heartedly, in ways that seem guaranteed to fail?

Maybe you wanted to ask that cute girl or guy out, or go for that promotion, or start a business, or start an exercise routine, or spend more time with your wife or kids, or take a vacation to the one place you’ve always wanted to see.

Maybe you wanted to lose weight, or quit a lousy job, or end a bad relationship, or drop a habit that made you feel small.

Has there ever been something you wanted to do that you just didn’t do anything about?

Some folks will say that it’s because you didn’t really want it, or that you didn’t want it badly enough.

And they’re almost right.

The thing is, there were things you wanted to avoid even more.

Here’s the good news – you can change that.

And, even better, it’s easy!

The usual response to that is, “Sure. All it takes is a little willpower.“

Willpower

But, contrary to popular opinion – in fact it almost seems like heresy -, willpower is the least efficient, and most difficult, tool you can use to accomplish anything. It is very rarely more than a waste of time.

Why?

If you’re relying on willpower, you’re fighting what you really want with what you think you should want.

Even if you win that battle you lose – because you didn’t get what you really wanted. It’s a hollow victory, unless you manage, somewhere along the way, to tap into what you’re about to read.

There is something within you that is far more powerful, far more dependable, than willpower.

I call it wantpower – what you want most has the power.

Two Myths

But before I explain that, I want to compound the first heresy, mentioned above, by pointing out two more myths that you need to forget, assuming you ever bought into them in the first place.

Those are the belief in “fear of success” and/or “fear of failure.”

Surprisingly, perhaps, no such things exist.

What we fear are the emotional meanings of the consequences of success or failure.

Knowing what those imagined consequences are takes them from the purely abstract, which we can’t address, to the concrete, which we can deal with effectively.

Success and failure are meaningless concepts, except when measured against the question, “Have you achieved the sum of your wants and desires?“

You’re either moving toward the sum of your wants and desires, or you’ve achieved it.

Now, some of you will read that and think, “You’re nuts. That’s not how it works. Success is measured by [fill in the blanks].“

Okay.

Says who?

Seriously. Who defined success that way for you? If it wasn’t you, it doesn’t mean a thing. And if it was you, and you don’t have it, why don’t you?

There is only one meaningful definition for success – living your life the way you want to live it.

Anything else is a hand-me-down that doesn’t fit.

You may have noticed an apparent problem with this – the idea that, if you’ve already got the sum of your desires, you’re trapped, that you’ve gone as far as you can go.

For many, that would be a very scary thought.

The key to changing it is in the word “sum”.

As you know, that’s a math word, meaning, “what you get when you add a bunch of things to each other”.

Like most things in life, if you manage to reduce something to math, just for purposes of clarity, you can change it.

With a sum, you simply adjust the value of the things you’re adding up.

This is where it gets fun.

If you ask a person what they want, most will rattle off a list of surface-level things. “I want to spend more time with my kids, I want a raise, and I want a pony.“

And yet, they’re not spending more time with their kids, they’re not doing what they need to do to get the raise, and they still haven’t got a pony.

Why?

Because they don’t actually want those things.

What they want are the benefits they associate with them, and they haven’t piled up enough benefits to outweigh the benefits of not getting them.

Had you ever considered the idea that there are benefits to not getting what you want?

You should, because that’s the key to turning things around.
