Video Summary:
Somewhere between watching a motivational video (very ineffective), or someone kicking your butt, lies the vast wasteland of hoped-for outcomes. Self-motivation is often a problematic victim of vague, wimpy goals; lack of sufficient visualization; or failing to reinforce the ratchets in your achievement.

If you're constantly struggling to stay motivated, it may be that you have the wrong goals, or your life has the wrong purpose. If you're trying to motivate yourself to accomplish things that don't embrace your passion, you'll never get far. If you're passionless about where you're headed, you need to pick a new direction. Examine your higher self and what your true, passionate life purpose really is.

Once your direction is aligned with your life purpose, visualize your vivid, specific, and ambitious goals for your life -- the bigger the better. You need a detailed map before you can get anywhere. Picture your vision in your mind and on paper to make it more real.

Now build your vision deep into your daily life. Review it daily, post it prominently, journal about it, check in with a mentor daily -- whatever it takes to keep you focused on your vision.

wow. picturing my life in 10-20 years with and without making the changes i want was seriously intense. I'm sat here 100% procrastinating from tidying my house and you've helped me realised that by not doing this chore I am condemning all other areas of my life. i have got to practice at least one positive step towards my goals each day now. I have got so many things I am dying to change. My whole life feels so off course fom where I want to picture it being.

(For the record; tidying my house is not just some odd little chore. I've become a slob, it is a disgraceful embarrassment. Living room is covered in bottles. Kitchen has over 13 bin bags piled up in it. One bedroom is completely inaccessible. While my used bedroom is also covered in rubbish and litter, not just clothes)

[UnEquEl]

I think I've figured it out. But, it's weird. All of these little things that I find so important is watching these self help videos etc. Therefore, not getting work done. (I realized I watch these practically the whole day.!) Which I find fine. But, I need to be putting in the work. Starting tomorrow (30 min). I will watch only 2 self help videos a day.(Or any video on yt) This has gotten out of hand. I don't know if you'd call this a mental masturbation effect or something. But, I have probably desensitized my mind by now. Good vid, helped me realize. Good work.!

It's great to hear that someone else does this, too. I learned a technique called "Holding Your Mind For Ransom". The power and energy of thought, incubation, refinement and finally letting it blow is wicked cool. I recently turned 40 and accomplished everything I set out to do because I had the Vision. Now I'm starting a new bucket list. Welcome to reality. This Rocks!

I love these videos this dude sitting in the dark giving advice, what a legend.

[MrPavo]

I paused this video and put thought into it after one day of being in a slump. I can feel everything just coming back like if it's a fire hydrant with unlimited supply. Amazing video Leo love it. Motivation is key to life.

I think people need to focus on their depression before they can even begin doing self help. If you can't motivate yourself to do ANYTHING that is huge problem.

Thanks Leo, Many many benefits coming into my life.

I had a great experience aged 18 when all my thoughts were coming true. My friend said I might enjoy a napoleon hill book that he was bored with and the book was perfect for me.
But...
I got into drugs and lost all direction and became depressed until I got into Ekhart Tolle and revisited napoleon hill.

Long story short:

- quit drugs
- working now (self employed taxi)
- met a lovely girl (now engaged)
- reconnected with family
- lovely house (private rent)
- passed drivers licence
- bought a car
- gained thousands of complements for my live music (things said that would make you cry with joy)
- getting paid to perform music £150/2hrs work.

So I'm now leaving the other literature behind and listening to your videos Leo... My goal is to develop my gigs and gain momentum with music until I have no time for taxi.

I was in a bad place.
I did what was necessary to grow.
I needn't get any big hits in the charts coz I'm gonna be doing what I love and living my authentic life. Xxx
Cheers Leo,

Yours,
Luke Day

I'm a head custodian of a school in the middle of the summer clean up. I've got high standards for the way I want the place to look in September, however the task is huge and a bit daunting. I'm taking your advice and visualizing as well as busting butt all through August. This is going to be my best year ever. Sure glad I've got a great crew.Thanks for not being lite on us.

Looking in the mirror every morning motivates me to go to the gym, haha

[mbfitness]

Hey leo,
First I wanna say "Thank`s". You`re Videos are really awesome. I am from Germany and i watch your videos always about 4 or 5 times to understand, because my English is not this good. But i keep on going and some day I only need to watch it Once! :)

[TheXxsuperxxchickxx]

I've noticed I am only very motivated to getting a motorcycle and you are right with the process. Thats how it all started.. i just visioned everything and thought about it everyday. so i always have it in the back of my head and watch how i spend money and how it will affect my goal...

[saphiasheikh-ahmed]

You are so dam motivating. I’ve been watching you for a little while and it’s already starting to make HUGE differences in my life. Thank you for all your videos. So incredibly blessed to have you opening my mind to all these new possibilities . 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[mbellasylum]

Im 32 years on and been on this road of lack of direction where im at the bottom of the barrel and i try to push myself and i am in therapy for these problems, but i keep doing what Einstein says "Doing the same thing over and expecting different results" Just have to say your videos help me when i listen to them in the morning puts my day in an optimistic state of mind.

[flymethemoon]

You nailed that one..ive been a guitarist for 35 years ive let fears hold me back even when great oppurtunaties were presented to me.i own a buisness thats not doing well anymore.im always preoccupied thinking of music.ones close to me are always telling me your buisness was doing so well..whats going on and yeah your a great guitarist, great songs but look at the money you can make with your buisness..i can care less about money.in fact money dosnt motivate me.theres more to this exsistance then that and i refuse to defy myself by what and how much i own..theres no depth to that..my life has been ruled and dictated by fears.im uncertain about so much always afraid and have been going through the expected motions..The war inside me fighting this battle against fears is what ultimatly fuels my creativity i suppose.those fears lead to other fears resulting in others to dictate my life..its a vicious cycle that ive been in my whole life..im 47 and have grown so much but im allowing my fears to control and keep me where i was at 21..maybe lack of self-worth or im just way to hard on myself..the fact i always feel im not ready and that day will come..its never came and i allow fear to procrastinate and put off what i love..
