“What’s My Motivation?” – Uncovering My Life Mission Statement — Releasing Me Today

“What’s My Motivation?” – Uncovering My Life Mission Statement

by Deone

my motivationIf you were given an invitation to be on the set of one of your favorite television sitcoms or movie sets, it’s quite possible; you would hear a question being thrown around by many of the skilled actors performing their craft.

The question – “What’s my motivation?”

Primarily, the question is asked by the actor, being phrased towards the director and/or writer, to gain a much clearer perspective of the motive that he or she was in need of possessing to create the presence of the character they are meant to portray on screen or stage.

In most cases, the informant follows the question, with the intended state of being or persona, the actor is expected to play out in the given portion of the script.

However, the question does not have to be a verbal request, reserved only for them who have temporarily been affected by a sudden loss of memory, on the air or set.

Oh No… that same question can… and should be used by anyone who dares to step outside of their familiar territory, and desires to produce a life of substance.

My Motivation For the Post

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend, Craig McBreen wrote a post that helped me understand the importance one’s mission plays, overall. He said, “Clearly define your mission, bring heaps of value, do it like no one else can, but make sure there’s some meaning behind those words… Be truthful to your audience and they just might love you for it.”

I cannot say, I’ve had a clear mission from the beginning, but overtime, my experiences in blogging, as well as in life, have continued to help me produce my own motivation (i.e. Mission Statement).

I have begun to comprehend how having clarity of what motivates me to action, can also assist me in discovering my life’s purpose and mission.

If you’re one of those who believe you don’t possess a purpose or mission in your life – I challenge you to look deeper within yourself for the answer to the question of today’s post, and begin asking yourself, “What’s my life’s motivation and/or mission?”

“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life;
everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot
be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus,
everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity.”
Viktor Frankl

 

Motivation Materialized and a Mission Stated

Princeton’s Wordnet, defines motivation as being, “Motivation, motive, or need - the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior.”

For far too long, I was being driven by my story…

my circumstances…

my situations…

and yes, of course, other people.

I had absolutely no control over changing how each of these diversions affected me, as well as my reactions to them – or, so I thought.

Releasing Me Today continues to mature me in ways I could not have imagined taking place when I started this path, a year ago.

From then, until now, it has exposed me to learning many truths about my purpose, my way of thinking, and my outlook on life in its entirety.

This new perspective I am extremely grateful to have allowed to take place in my life, has also offered me a chance to see myself, as the Universe sees me. And that being, plain and simply put, “Enough.”

Last week alone was one filled with confirmations, manifestations, and an inner power revelation, taking place. Many of  which, I would identify through various books I’m reading at the moment, other websites (like Abraham-Hicks and Heal Your Life), passing conversations with persons I had no idea were watching and reading, and a powerful series on the rejections.

So, here’s what I would like to do today. I would like to share with you my motivation for “The Release.” I now believe I am fully capable of doing exceedingly and abundantly more than I have ever imagined before. And I plan to hold myself accountable for making it happen.

quotes for motivationMy Life’s Mission Statement, Purpose, and Motivation

My mission here is to express my willingness to access my fullest potential, compassion for others, and willingness to learn more about life, by being able to step outside of my comforts zone, being committed to provide inspiration and empowerment to others, and be mindful of the resources available to me; so that I might use the platform I’ve been given for the betterment of myself and others, become a published author, as well as become a “Master of Life.” My goal is to obtain at least a $250,000.00 salary by 7/11/2013.

How in heavens will this all happen?

I haven’t the slightest clue.

But I’ve begun aligning my energy, frequency, and vibrations to make it happen. I have set a plan of action on paper, and continuously am doing the work that’s necessary to make it happen.

I’m not concerned about the how, as much as I am the why. And my reason for the why is simple; I believe my life can be effective in changing other people’s lives. And the more resources that are available to me, the more I will be able to do what I feel is my mission and purpose in life.

Since I fervently believe that RMT is my mission and purpose, I also believe that the Universe will respond accordingly, by providing with what I need to carry that mission out.

So there it is. Out there for all of you to see – my motivation.

If you too, would like to come up with your own Life Mission Statement, visit Nightingale-Conant and follow the instructions they offer here.

Thank You and Blessings.

What’s your motivation? Why do you do whatever it is you do?

I love this! A few years back when I was going through a major life transition, I discovered the book, “Re-position Yourself” by TD Jakes and in it, he talks about the idea of the Life Mission Statement and the importance of having one–how it can help guide you to a better life and better life choices. It was my very first time even hearing about the concept. I used the tools listed in his book and accompanying workbook to give it a try and craft out one for myself. But then I unintentionally filed it away and forgot about it! (!!!) It has been just recently that I was reminded about it by someone else and I found it again. Now I have it posted everywhere so that I will remember it at all times! :)

This was awesome–I hope that it prompts/reminds people just how important having a Life Mission Statement is! And I definitely wish you the best of the best in living by yours each and every day! :)

Thank you, Makeba, for validating the importance of having one’s Life Mission Statement. I haven’t yet read T.D. Jakes, “Re-position Yourself”, but I am (as you may already know) currently reading his powerful book, “Let It Go”; that my companion brought me for my birthday. He is such a phenomenal author, and his way of crafting the written word continues to inspire me to improve my own.

If the one you mentioned is as powerful as the one I’m working on now, it’s definitely going to be added to my collection. The list of future reads for me, seems to be getting longer and longer each passing day. :D I better get a move on with my mission to afford all the books I desire to read. LOL

My friend, Rob White shared with me not long ago the importance of setting claim to one’s mission statement and seeing it as it has already happened.

I’m glad you have pulled your Life Mission Statement out, as well. It truly is a great way of holding oneself accountable for doing whatever it is we desire to do with our lives. And serves as a great reminder not to get into the routine of comparing and competing with others. If we know why we are doing what we are doing, we are better able to do it with less distractions, wouldn’t you agree?

Thanks again for contributing a great addition to the discussion of “What’s my motivation?” It’s always a pleasure to read you here, my friend. Peace. :)

So, someone was watching you after all… ? :) Funny things people do!

I love how you come out clean with your motivating factors and put it out right here. For me, it has always been what makes me happy. Many people told me that I was good at studies and IQ was suited to study engineering, but I knew I couldn’t do it. Because I didn’t like it and it didn’t motivate me in any way. I felt I should be doing anything because it makes me happy, it makes me feel nice about what I am doing.

Happiness is my motivation. If that makes sense!

Hope you are having a lovely day! And yes, congrats on the new house!

Imagine that… I have been being stalked by this phenomenal young lady who is motivated by her happiness. :D She’s totally groovy though. ;)

On the real though, I hear you loud and clear, Hajra. I know exactly what you’re saying about other people telling you what you would be good at placing your energy towards. That was the story of my life, my friend. From a young fella to about 29, a lot of people told me I had a call on my life to be a preacher. They said it so much, that even I began to believe them – so much so, that I was two weeks from becoming one, when I came to myself and was like, “DUDE! What are you doing?” :D

Now, I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with becoming a man of God, but we should never let other people choose our life direction for us. 9 times out of 10, they usually don’t have a clue, as to what our purpose or calling is for our life. I’m just glad I snapped out of the trance everyone else had convinced me of following, before I made one of the hugest mistakes of my life.

I mean, they weren’t too far off, I’m sort of teaching, I guess you can say. However, this fits me like a glove – whereas preaching felt more like I was trying to fit it. :D Soooooo, not how I think it was meant to be.

Hi,
I love this article! It made me reflect back to when I was starting nursing school. One of our first projects was to write an epitaph or a statement of our legacy. For some reason mine came to me quickly, and I wrote it down. Someone next to me was surprised I could come up with something so quickly. This made me realize how much I have been focusing my entire life on the statement which I wrote, and wasn’t consciously aware of it.

This is what I wrote: “I want those whose life I am able to touch to be better because I have been allowed to be apart of their life.”

Thanks so much for your post. Sally

Hi Sally,

Welcome! It’s such a pleasure to read you here, my friend. I’m glad you enjoyed the article.

Your comment proves that oftentimes our motivation lies in our passion – that thing we care most deeply about practicing, a majority of the times, is often what motivates us to action, doesn’t it?

I loved your statement of legacy, as well. I mutually share in your feelings of wanting to impact the lives of those I meet on this journey. I believe that’s what we were intended to do, in whatever way we were gifted to do so.

I feel it’s not so much of importance what we call our mission statement, but that we have one and know what it is we want to accomplish in our lives.

Thanks you for your contribution to the discussion. I appreciate your sharing your experiences with me and my readers. Blessings.

I love this post so much Deone. I’ve read the books your talking about here and they are powerful! Whohoo!

It’s funny, we would never dream of starting a business or new venture without knowing our mission statement. We expect it to be in place if we plan to use a business ourselves right? Yet it fits so perfectly into our self awareness growth to have one ourselves I’m always amazed that we don’t regularly talk about it the same way!

I love your vision, and your honesty in your journey to finding clarity and growth. Taking stock of where we are, how far we’ve come and readjusting the sails to bring is to where we want to be is so important and a mission statement is wonderful to help us with that. It’s important though to remember to never write it in stone and get stuck there. I’ve found as I grow, learn and experience more I have shifted and reworked my vision of what I am doing. It took me a while to give my self permisssion to change it when needed.

I love that last quote “do the things you think you cannot do” We are always amazing ourselves when we do that aren’t we?

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the post, Bonnie. I’m also glad you were able to read the books I mentioned. They are truly the BOMB! BOOYAH! :D

You’re right though, I know that I didn’t come up with a mission statement for RMT – unless you consider “Celebrate the smallest victories…” a mission. LOL That’s what this entire blog was build upon. Heck, I even allowed it to be the basis of my eBook.

And trust, the one I shared here is definitely flexible. I don’t beleive in setting anything in stone, anymore. I have come to grow rather fond of change. I’d go as far as to say, we’re on friendship terms now. :D As a matter of fact, as I continue to grow and gather more clarity, I expect it to change, as I do. That’s how it should be, right? :)

I’m so glad to hear from you, my friend. I’ve missed our little chats. We must do Skype or a Hangout soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the post. Smooches.

In fact, I would consider “celebrate the smallest victories” a fabulous vision statement…or at least a heck of a good part of one.

You have made me revisit my own vision statement and I think I’m due for some revisions (no pun intended..just enjoyed lol)

We should chat soon! xoxo

I never thought I’d be able to say that, but I have become more confident about approaching changes that are to take place in my life; whether they be good ones or bad. I know that they will only come baring me gifts of lessons to better myself, my craft, and my life, in general.

That in itself has taught me how to celebrate the victory of learning something from change, and it has also taught me to use any mistakes made along the way, as lessons to do it better the next time I’m faced with similar experiences.

I’m delighted to know that I inspired you to revisit your statement – that’s wonderful! Thanks for letting me know it benefited you in that way. :)

Have a great week ahead, my friend. Chat soon. Smooches.

Hey Deone,

First of all, thanks for the mention!

It’s great to have a plan for business AND life and I think you should aim for combining the two. Work shouldn’t be drudgery. If you enjoy what you do, you’ll incorporate it into your life and it won’t take over your life. Live for the love of the work, right?

As far as growing in this online realm … As you’ve written: Releasing Me Today continues to mature you, … well, my site is doing the same for me. This is a great place to discover new things about yourself and grow. Maybe even find a hidden talent, but like you say, you gain TON of clarity along the way.

You’re obviously putting your heart and soul into RMT and you are also obviously enjoying the ride. All good and a great lesson for anyone reading this.

Awesome post, My friend!

What’s up Craig?

You’re definitely welcome for the mention, bud. Thank you for the inspiration.

I agree work shouldn’t be drudgery – I shared a tweet this morning from Sister Mary Lauretta (I have no idea who she is, but the quote was powerful), it said, “To be ‪ successful, the first thing to do is ‪Fall in love with your work.” I’d say, that pretty much sums it up, eh. And man, have I ever. RMT is the pen to my paper, the seed that plant in my soil of life, the RUFF to my bark, the growl that’s in my roar. Heck, you get the point. :D It has become what I look forward to when I wake up in the morning, and the last thought I think about at night. I am blessed to have found something that allowed me to experience so much passion.

Sadly, it’s the first time that’s ever happen to me in my entire life.

I imagine you can relate to that, tho. Whenever I read you on your site, it pours out like gin and juice. :D And no, I’m not a gin drinker. LOL That just popped in my head, as I was typing it. :D

Thanks for noticing the heart I put into my work here, man. That means a lot. I simply want it to keep getting better and better and better.

Glad you liked the post. Have a great weekend. Cheers!

It’s been a process getting here, but now that I have adopted the mindset of being a possibilitarian, I believe, the sky is the limit for me. And I’m going to reach for it with all that’s within me. I’m ready to turn this story of life around. And although I’ve only begun to make small steps, it’s those small steps that have taught me what is possible. I just want to share the gift I’ve been given with everyone I know who will adopt the mindset of possibilities, as well.

Thanks for your awesome contribution to the post! I really appreciate you and your constant encouragement. Cheers! :)

Wonderful post once again Deone!

Hmm…motivation is a strong and powerful word and I think just by thinking about it you feel motivated :)

It’s clearly visible that you seem to have found your mission or purpose in life, as we’ve all been witness to the wonderful changes that have been coming up in the way you write here, and the overall person you are becoming. All for the good and better. I guess that’s why our personal or self-development should never stop, nor should we cease to learn or evolve as human beings.

You have risen much above than ordinary bloggers like us, which has been due to your own determination, persistence, and the want to change your own-self, which again very few of us want to do. I guess moving out your comfort zone and doing things or trying your hand at things that you wouldn’t do otherwise – requires courage, which you have immense within you dear friend. :)

Yes indeed, you are fully capable of doing exceedingly and abundantly more than you can imagine. And that holds true for all of us too, but like I mentioned before very few of us are willing to make that shift in our lives. If you have willed it, the Law of Attraction will make it happen for you I’m sure. And earning that amount will not be a problem for you – so, here’s wishing you all the very best with your goal and mission. :)

That’s an inspiring video indeed and that’s what and how people make it – with hard work and commitment.

Speaking of my mission, presently it is my kids and looking after my family as well. But alongside, I do my best in my own little way to help people whichever way I can. If I can make a little bit of difference in the lives of others, I feel I’ve achieved something. And to be able to sleep peacefully at night with the simple thought that I’ve done my best for today, is what I like doing. – It’s a pretty simple mission – but I like living each day to it’s fullest as it comes and sleeping with no regrets whatsoever.

Thanks so much for these wonderful words and an inspirational post as well. :)

Thanks Harleena! :)

You’re absolutely right, motivation is an incredibly powerful word. The most important aspect I’ve been able to better apply to my life of it, has been accessing it on my own. Meaning, I no longer look for outside sources to motivate me. It’s one of those things that I never had full control of before, but am better able to now offer myself.

Thank you for the vote of confidence and kind words, referring to the growth you’ve noticed in me and my work here. It’s quite encouraging to know that it’s been visible. I seek to grow even more, and offer my experiences as an inspiration, for others who may be seeking to do the same.

I’m reminded of a quote by President Roosevelt that says, “With great power or influence, comes an even greater responsibility.” As I continue to grow, I must remain mindful that other’s are looking in my direction, and never lose sight of what and why, I’m doing here at RMT.

With each lesson I’ve gain, another level of confidence has been added in knowing I can do what I aspire to do through my mission statement. By putting it out there for all to see what I’d like to come from my efforts here; each goal that I accomplish and cross off my list from here on out, will further solidify my growth – making my mission that much more capable of my attaining it.

I desire to continue to push the limits on my comfort zone, I believe it’s the only way I will ever reach the place in my life I most desire to be.

Thank you also for sharing your mission here with me. I would say, in my getting to know you online, that you too, are making great strides in accomplishing your mission. No matter how great or small our mission is, the important thing is to have one, and actively working towards making them reality. It might not happen exactly how we planned it out, but something happening is always better than nothing at all, right. :)

Thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts and compliments on the article. As usual, I am extremely appreciative for your support. Blessings.

So, know that I’m excited for you, and for your publicly stating your motivation here on your site. It’s out there now, and the Universe will work in some incredible ways in your life – I know it will…

Hi Lance,

I’m thrilled you found this relevant to your journey blogging, as well. Writing, I believe, allows us to open ourselves up to so many avenues of exposing our true potential. For me, it encourages me to inquire about things concerning life that I wouldn’t normally question.

Thank you for sharing in my excitement with this, my friend. Surely, the Universe is always willing and able to give us what we most desire, it only requires us to know with certainty what it is we want. The more clarity we offer to our mission in life, the more, I believe, the Universe will ensure it happens for us.

Thanks for stopping in and sharing your encouraging words with me. Cheers! :)

You never cease to impress me Deone. I love your goals! I am not sure how you get to the $250,000 salary either, but I keep thinking that each thing I do that creates passive income is moving me toward that goal. Like the books. They sell a few right at the beginning, but then one or two continue to sell each month. As currently, I only have three out there, that is a pittance. (I made about $16 this month so far.) I am working on converting a building into a rental which will do the same thing. (Though managing property is more work than selling books.) Speaking engagements can be lucrative once you have built the platform to get good ones. I have been getting about $50.00 – $100.00 a pop, but Seth Godin gets closer to $25,000.00 a speech. Good luck and let me know if I can help you out with it in any way. (Sorry, can’t hire you for $250K.)

That’s a humbling compliment, my friend. Thank you. I appreciate your continual support here, more than you know. :)

I am not sure how I will amass that $250-G’s either, but I do know that it’s possible now. :D That’s more than I had in my arsenal before. In my knowing the possibility of acquiring the goals I’ve set for myself, I’m better equipped mentally, to do more things that will align me with those goals. Not only that, but I’m more open to learning new life practices, than I was in the past; and not limiting myself by the lessons of yesteryear. They obviously weren’t working for me in my favor.

I think it’s awesome you have other ideas in play. That’s what I am working on currently, as well. I’ve been looking for other ventures where I can bring in more revenue, other than by book sales. I plan to get into the speaking realm, but I also recognize the opportunities are limited right now. They are limited, but not impossible. Getting to where Seth Gobin is with his speeches are definitely a goal of mine. That’s why I’m using this time as preparation time. I want to be ready when the opportunities present themselves.

I wish you the very best in your endeavors also. Let me know if I can be of assistance to you, in any way – even if it isn’t paying $250K. We’ll just keep those lines of communication open on both our ends, eh. :D

Your post is awesome! By expressing yourself the motivation wears off on others.

A mission statement gives us purpose in life. Having purpose is what makes life worth living.

Hi Deone,

This was a brilliant post and I’ve really seen how you’ve grown as a person in recent months through your blog. I’m very excited for you! :-)

When I read your mission statement it reminded me of something I did around 4 years ago. I wrote a cheque for 10 Million Great Britain Pounds and gave it to my mother, to hold onto until one day when I had that money in my bank account, so she could cash it.

I’ve changed since then and am no way as ambitious in terms of making money. However, just writing it down helps to set the actions needed to realise the mission, into motion.

Hey there Hiten,

How’s it been going buddy? Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it, my friend. :)

I’ve done the same thing. I wrote out a check for a million, but hid it from myself in one of my books in my collection. I have no idea which one. :D Perhaps, I’ll run across it once we get unpacked at the new place.

Does your mother still have the check you wrote out for her?

You’re right though, making this kind of declaration to oneself, motivates us to make them happen – if nothing else, they will inspire us to constantly move in the forward direction towards our goals. :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, bro. It’s always a pleasure to read you. :) Cheers!

Hey Deone
A lovely post. We all need some motivation or the other to carry on with our lives. A mission statement is good, both for a business as well as personal life. I feel motivated when I am able to bring a smile on the people I care about the most. I try my best to make their lives better in any possible way I can as that is when I feel immense satisfaction and happiness. Its their smile and love that helps me move ahead in life and do the best in whatever task I have in hand.

Hi there Richa!

Thank you, I really appreciate your kindness.

Motivation is that energy we channel within that keeps us going, and knowing why we do whatever it is we do. It’s the fuel of our being. Without it, we’d lose any interest whatsoever to “Get-r-done.” :D

I love what motivates you, and today, you should feel motivated… for you shared a smile with me through your feedback. Thank you. :)

Without motivation, life can become drab and this in turn can affect our work-be it any field. How does one keep oneself motivated? To me: my son motivates me- there are times when things are not so good at work-even on those days my kid keeps me going and reinstates the meaning and purpose of my life.

There is as you rightly said, a motivation required for blogging too. only then can you provide readers with good content. Thanks for the motivational post!

Good day to you, Dipa!

I loved your feedback! You’re absolutely right! Once we find out what motivates us, we are able to move forward in any field with meaning and purpose in our lives. Many times, I believe so many of us don’t establish what is motivating us, because we extend our motivation all over, in so many different areas. Focus is a definite key to finding out what we are motivated by; if we can bring focus to ourselves, we would soon discover that we are unstoppable, and life just starts to flow.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers! :)

Hey Deone,
A powerful post!! I am just falling in love with your posts, they are so inspiring. I agree motivation is the underlying need for leading a quality life. I still lack the mission of my life, I tried questing my inner self, but still till date I haven’t reached to the mission of my life. I am such a person, who can gain motivation from any source. Sometimes, the innocent acts of my niece motivates me to do something worthy, sometimes the hard work done by parents till date motivates me, sometimes the caring ways showed by friends and sisters motivates me to do big in life and make them proud. Thanks for sharing such inspiring posts.

Hey there Aayna,

I truly appreciate your compliments, young lady. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying what you’ve read here thus far.

I’m in no way a guru, but I do believe that if you have questioned your inner self for the answers of your mission in life, it will answer – maybe not right away, but when you least expect it the answers will surely come. My advice for you would be to keep working in what you’re most passionate about. If your passion is many or a few things, keep doing those things. What you will discover is that you find a peace that bubbles up within you in doing whatever it is you truly love to do. Then seemingly out of nowhere, out of the blue, you’ll one day feel a conviction within you, and find yourself saying, “Hey, this is my mission!” :)

I wish you the very best in your search. Blessings.
