Think about it.
If someone were laying a beating on you then you are most vulnerable when you are laying down right? If you can stay on your feet though, and even dodge the blows until you can get one or two in, then you stand a chance.
This scenario fits perfectly with those who have succumbed to tough times.
Chances are you are lying down and these hard times are laying a full force beating on you.
So you need a motivation kick start.
If you use our scenario here to help kick start you, then it will be a good starting point for you.
So let's approach the tough times like some thug on the street that figures, because you are a bit frail, he is going to lay a beating on you, and take whatever money and possessions you have.
Of course if this were a real circumstance you would certainly comply with the thug to avoid harm if possible.
In this case though the thug here is tough times.
First thing you are going to do is avoid letting Mr.
Tough Times here get you to the ground.
In this case being on the ground is where you have simply given up.
You are just going to sit back and let life throw at you whatever it likes.
So get up off the ground.
Now you are on our feet if you were in a confrontation the next thing you would need to do is get your footing.
So okay getting your footing here would be take a look at where you are off balance in life right now and get yourself on some steady ground.
Footing is in place now its times for a motivation kick start.
In your make believe fight your fists would come up to protect you.
What do you need to do in your life right now to protect you from any further harm? So where are you at right now in your fight to start living life, if you have been following through with this scenario? Well you would be facing the problem, assessing it, and stopping it from progressing.
The next step would be to take that swing.
Give it all you got.
If you miss, then swing again.
The courage to take that swing is your motivation, your opponent is the tough times.
Your actions are your kick start.
Congratulations! You have just experienced a motivation kick start in tough times!
