Have you ever peered into the cockpit of an airplane as you were boarding?
It’s an intricate display of buttons, instruments, dials, knobs, levers, and switches—all of which are located under a single massive windshield.
What if, as you were boarding, you overheard the pilot say to the copilot, “James, can you remind me what this set of buttons does again?”
If I heard that, I’d be outta there faster than a New York minute.
But most of us pilot our own lives that way—without much knowledge of the instruments.
We don’t take the time to learn where our OWN buttons are, or what they can do.
From now on, make it a personal commitment to notice everything that pushes your buttons…
Make a note of everything that inspires and motivates you—that’s your control panel… And it contains the buttons that operate your whole system of personal motivation.
Motivation doesn’t have to be accidental or mysterious.
Again—motivation does not have to be accidental or mysterious.
You can use “push-button motivation” to control and motivate yourself.
Here’s how:
You’ve got way more control over your environment than you realize.
You can begin conditioning yourself consciously – to be more focused and motivated.
Just get to know your “control panel” and learn the art of push-button motivation.
The more you know about how you operate, the easier it’ll be to motivate yourself.
