Wk 19 - Generate Passion and Energy for Pursuing Objectives

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Generate Passion and Energy for Pursuing Objectives

Self-motivation is essential for success in any area of life, especially for leaders who must inspire and motivate others to achieve their goals.

Here are some tips to help you self-motivate:

  1. Have a clear and specific goal in mind to provide motivation and direction. Write down your goals, break them into smaller achievable tasks, and track your progress.
  2. Understand why your goals matter to you and how achieving them will align with your values and passions. This sense of purpose helps keep you inspired during challenging times.
  3. Your thoughts and beliefs significantly impact your inspiration. Focus on the positive aspects of your goals, and avoid negative self-talk or thoughts that drain you.
  4. Affirmations are positive statements that can help boost self-confidence. Repeat them daily to reinforce positive beliefs and attitudes.
  5. Share your goals and progress with others, such as a mentor or accountability partner, to stay on track and inspired.
  6. Celebrate your accomplishments along the way, no matter how small they may seem.

Self-motivation is a skill that can be developed and strengthened over time with consistent effort and practice.

Monday 10-27-2025 Culture Leads, Systems Sustain Too many leaders hide behind systems. They think a new process, policy, or program will magically fix dysfunction. It won’t. Systems can enforce compliance, but culture determines whether the system endures or gets undermined. That’s true whether you’re managing a department or confronting systemic social issues. If your culture doesn’t support your system, you’re enforcing empty rules that no one believes in. When systems and culture are...

10 Principles for Defiant Leadership

Monday 10-20-2025 10 Principles for Defiant Leadership A Roadmap for Integrity, Courage, and Conscience Over two decades ago, I created a wallet-sized notecard for my team called the “10 Pride Principles.” It served as a simple guide to help us stay grounded when things got loud — a quick reminder to remain human and proud of how we worked.
