你会得到一切：10句话让你内心强大

Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out, there's nothing more essential to success than keeping yourself motivated. Here are 10 thoughts that motivational guru Omar Periu shared with me a while back:

无论你是一位经验丰富的企业家或者才刚刚起步，没有什么比保持自己的动力对成功更为关键。激励大师奥马尔·佩鲁前阵子与我分享了十个想法：

1.Motivation means choosing to do what you'd rather not do, which is why unmotivated people never get anywhere.

动力就是选择做你不想做的事情。这就是为什么缺乏动力的人从来没有取得任何进展的原因。

2.Most people want to improve their situation but few take responsibility for motivating themselves to make changes.

大多数人都希望改善自己的处境，但很少有人为激励自己做出改变而采取行动。

3.People can always validate the decision to avoid unpleasant work. Example: "Today, I'll get organized; tomorrow I'll make cold calls."

人们总是能为自己逃避不愉快的工作找到借口。例如：“今天我先计划一下；明天我就进行电话推销。”

4.Motivation comes from managing your mind and your emotions. Fail at this and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.

动力来自管理你的思想和情绪。如果不能做到这一点，你的生活就会平淡而绝望。

5.The most depressing and de-motivating sentences in the world usually begin with the phrase "Someday, I'll..."

世界上最沮丧和没有动力的话总是这么开头的“总有一天，我会……”

6.If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, go someplace quiet and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations, prayer or meditation.

如果你发现自己情绪消极，到一个安静的地方把消极的情绪变成积极的肯定想法、祷告或者冥想。

7.To get big results, ask yourself big questions. "Why do I want to be a millionaire?" is far more motivating than "How can I make a living?"

为了取得宏大的目标，你要问自己一些宏大的问题。“为什么我想变成一个百万富翁？”比“我怎么才能生存下去？”激励人心多了。

8.Don't set goals that just excite you; set goals that scare you a little bit. That way they'll strengthen your "motivation muscle."

不要仅仅设定能刚好让你兴奋的目标；设定的目标要能让你自己有点害怕。这样，这些目标就能让你的“动力肌肉”更加发达。

9.What holds people back is fear of failure, but if you don't take action, you'll fail by default, so what have you got to lose?

让人们退却的是对失败的恐惧，但是如果你不采取行动，你就默认自己失败了。所以，（行动吧！）你又有什么损失呢？

10.You can have whatever you want in life, but nobody is going to give it to you. Everything of value must be earned.

你可以得到生活里你想要的一切，但是没有人会双手送上。有价值的东西一定是通过努力获得的。
