today I will be talking to you about
self motivation you may ask what is self
motivation simply put it is to motivate
yourself ok yes there are some really
fancy definitions for self motivation
however I simply defined self motivation
as how hard you and I push or inspire
ourselves to do anything sell motivation
is an important attribute to have in
order to achieve or accomplish goals and
dreams many of us in this room are
students to the parents and faculty
members who are here also I can tell you
it is not easy being a student we are
Facebook Twitter whatsapp snapchat and
Instagram that can take up a lot of our
time on this when we have a whole lot of
homework assignments projects and exams
we will need to motivate ourselves to
stay off of social media and to dive
deep into our responsibilities to trade
marks of a self-motivated person or one
there they take initiative and – they
have optimism initiative assembly doing
something without anyone telling you to
do it
whereas optimism is having a positive
outlook from the start to a
self-motivated person optimism is of the
utmost importance
why pessimism is the enemy of optimism
in order to achieve your goals
you must think and believe that you can
you must say to yourself I think I can
therefore I can on the journey to self
motivate you must be highly optimistic
when I think about self motivation for
words come to mind I call these my ABCs
of self motivation a attitude B belief C
commitment D Drive this is how I define
each of them attitude is how you
aggressively achieve your goals belief
is accepting the dreams in your mind are
not given into the fares in your heart
commitment is consistently working on
your dreams and goals allowing
absolutely nothing to stop you from
accomplishing there
drive is a passion you possess to
fulfill your goals and dreams now
self-motivated people have four
qualities that makes them stand out
several of eight people are more
organized
they have good time management skills
display more self esteem and self
motivated people have a great deal of
confidence think about this every one of
us have everything we need someone to
feed ourselves it is deep inside us all
but we have one thing in common that
stops us you know what it is it’s the
big effort yes f.e.a.r fair fair can
cripple even the most self-motivated
person we all feel what others will
think and say yes people especially our
parents can be very cool at times in
order to overcome fear we must look
beyond the negative remarks and thoughts
and focus on the positive impact we can
leave on others it was some months ago I
had to motivate myself hear me up a very
good friend of mine asked me to consider
jogging with her and two other friends
before the crack of dawn yes and the way
we early hours of the morning when she
asked me I did not want to thank know
right away
so I pretended to be interested I told
her okay what time do we start she
responded 4:30 tomorrow morning we were
sad from Midwest Church of God which is
located in Hannah Hill grandmama to the
roundabout in front of Freeport Cantina
port and they in return this is two
miles each week a total of four miles
I told nah I don’t think so
first and foremost 4:30 in the morning
it’s too early secondly you’re trying to
kill me with all that jogging thirdly I
have to go school after you have killed
me oh no I replied they should applied
but Kevin’s coming also it was laying on
my face lit up so why don’t tell me
careful was coming over that time though
you know that’s my girl we gonna beat
them streets
so 4:30 the next one and I had to peel
myself from under my warm bed and out of
my warm blanket it was very cool we all
met us disgust me and my friends are all
off to a great start until 25 minutes
into our Jorgen I said to my friends
y’all y’all go
go ahead I can wait on your right on
this bus stop they all will return
together because I can finish I mean I
was really kidding about them leaving me
I’d was stopped I thought they would
have cut the exercise short to
accommodate me unfortunately
they left not nothing i sat on a bus
stop afraid from my life I began to
think
Nakia this exercise would be good for
you know no friends but you could use it
okay so I set up and began jogging again
eventually I caught up my friend with my
friends who were now on day we back I
tried right I shared my little story
with you to show that sometimes we must
be hard on ourselves to not be a quitter
to accomplish a task and to see a dream
come to fruition every time I felt like
I wanted to stop job self talk let me
tell you what every step I took I wanted
to stop yes a self talk held me in my
most challenge in time time we must
practice self-talk switch assembly
talking to ourselves talk to yourselves
to remind yourself of your goals your
dreams your vision for your life and
about your desire to improve or improve
your grades in school constantly remind
yourself as many times as you need some
of us have parents and friends who are
great supporters what about others of us
who may not have anyone who believes in
our goals and dreams and those who have
no one to push them self motivation is a
must for us all remember the ABCs of a
self-motivated person a attitude B
belief C commitment D Drive I trust that
from today on all of us will become self
motivated and begin to live our lives

milestones overcoming setbacks and
