RockStar:60 #11 “Stay Hungry”
Getting motivated or inspired is one thing.
Maintaining motivation and sustaining inspiration is another thing all together…
The legendary New York based-band, Twisted Sister, maintained their motivation and commitment to succeed by struggling on the club circuit for a full ten years. The band endured multiple line-up changes (10) before releasing their first album in 1982.
There has to be a strong “why” behind every “what” in order to foster ongoing action. The good reasons behind any undertaking are what keep us hungry to persevere despite set-backs and disappointments. You’ve got to believe in your vision even when you can’t feel it.
The enduring motivation necessary to achieve your goals requires you to empower potential by:
1. Recognizing it – many people can’t see opportunities around them, even when they are right in front of them.
2. Organizing it – once identified, put the necessary resources into place to begin producing tangible results.
3. Harnessing it – go out and actually do what you’ve recognized and organized; intention without action is useless.
In the beginning, your goals and dreams don’t have to be the end-all be-all; they just have to be.
Stay hungry, start somewhere, or risk going nowhere.
“Open your eyes and see | There’s no room for the wannabees | The has beens or the bad” ~ Twisted Sister
