What Type of Motivation Empowers You?

Empowering motivation can be driven by various stimuli. What motivation drives you? What makes you want to “push through”?

I was communicating with one of my friends, recently, who happens to be a competative body builder. We were discussing motivation and the importance of always “pushing through”. In our discussion, we were directly relating “pushing through” to fitness training. I mentioned to her that even though I have been training for over 20 years, seeing her “before and after” photos was such an empowering motivation for me to train even harder. It gave me a mental bounce to “push through” even more aggressively…to “push through” that last set…to “push through” for that last 5 minutes of cardio when it is difficult to breathe.

I always have immense respect for successful people. However individuals who have learned how to “push through” adversity motivate me in an amazing way. In my friend’s case, she had been overweight due to starting a family. She chose to make an empowering change. She completely transformed herself into a high-level competative body building champion. Now becoming a body building champion is an amazing feat in of itself. Doing this after having a child is simply amazing!

Another type of individual who always empowers me is someone who has a “physical disability” and still goes to the gym on a routine basis to workout. They are not concerned with how they look, rather they are concerned with how they “will look”…

What motivates you to “push through”? What empowers your life in a meaningful way?

About Martin Casper

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people. I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ. I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives. As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life. I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
