10 Ways to Motivate Yourself

Change your life forever

To truly motivate yourself in the life you want to live, actions required. Dr Nathaniel Branden says: "a goal without an action plan is a daydream."

1. Create a vision.

Create a vision of who you want to be and then live into that picture as if it were already true. You create a vision; you don't wait until you receive a vision. In other words you can make it up.

2. Tell a true lie.

Make up a lie about how great you are to make yourself sound unbelievably wonderful. Think of some stories about who you'd like to be. Without a picture of your highest self, you can't live in to that self.

3. Leave your comfort zone.

Our society encourages us to seek comfort. And yet only challenge will test our skills and make us better. Only challenge and the self motivation to engage the challenge will really transform us. And every challenge we face creates a more skillful self. So it's up to you to constantly look for challenges to motivate yourself and it's up to you to notice when you're buried alive in a comfort zone, then break free and fly away.

4. Find your key.

Napoleon Hill in His book: "The Master Key to Riches" says: "The great master key to riches is nothing more or less than the self discipline necessary to help you take full and complete position of your own mind. Remember it is profoundly significant that the only thing over which you have complete control is your own mental attitude." Maybe the hill book won't be your own key, but I promise you that you'll find your own instruction book if you keep looking. You'll find it when you ready to seek. It's out there, waiting for you.

5. Plan your work.

Many of us think we are too depressed right now to start on a new course of self creation or we're too upset, but napoleon hill says that's the perfect time to learn life's most important rule. There is one unbeatable rule for the mastery of sorrows and disappointments he says. And that's the transmutation of those emotional frustrations through "definitely planned work." It's a rule which has no equal. Once we get to picture of who we want to be definitely planned work is the path to self motivation. Definitely planned work contains the energy of purpose. One hour of planning saves three hours of execution. It is impossible to work passionately with a sense of purpose and feel depressed at the same time. Successfully planned work will motivate you to do more and more than you ever thought possible.

6. Move your goal a posts.

Most people are surprised to learn that the reason they're not getting what they want in life is because their major goals are too small and too vague. And therefore have no power. Your major goal will not be reached if it fails to excite your imagination. What really increases motivation is the setting of a large and specific "power goal". A power goal is a dream that drives you. People who have create a power goals are living on purpose. They know what their up to in life. How can you tell if you've got a big enough and real enough power goal? Simply observe the effect your goal has on you. It's not what a goal is that matters; it's what a goal does.

7. Dribble with your other hand.

It's not that you can't, it's that you haven't. You need to start reprogramming your own habits of thinking. You can think optimistically one thought at a time. 

8. Play your character.

How you act is who you become. We can gain energy and inspiration by doing the character we want to be. We can become who we act like we are. 

9. Don't just do something, sit there.

Sit quietly, absolutely alone for a long time all by yourself, completely relax. Be with yourself, observe insight starting to appear, observe your relationship with yourself starting to get better. Sitting in silence allows your true dream in life to take shape and clarity. In modern interactive civilized life today, you're either living your dream or someone else's. And unless you give your dream the time and space it needs to express itself, you'll spend a better part of your life living the dreams of other people.

10. Use the right chemicals.

Not real drugs of course, instead get into those energizing chemicals already in your system that get activated when you laugh or sing or dance or run or hug someone. When you're having fun, your body chemistry changes and you get new surges of motivation and energy. Don't keep trying to go out searching for something that is fun it's not out there, anywhere. It's inside you. If you can't immediately see the fun in something finds the way to create it. Once you've made a job fun, you've solved the problem of self motivation.

Number guessing game in C++

Today we are going see how we can make a number guessing game in C++.

To start with first u will need to have a text editor or simply notepad will do and a C++ compiler will do.

So first we are going to see what actually we need to do in the program.

Here we have to give user three chances to guess a number which and if the number matches the one with that already defined then it should print "You won" or else it should print "You lost"

--> so will start with the code....

   #include

   #include

these are the two header files which we need to call to run the program.

  void main()

 {

 clrscr();

here we are starting the main function.

  int n=10;

  int g,c=1;

here we have declared three variables n is the no which the user has to guess, g is for taking the value from the user and c is the no of chances.

  while(c<=3)

  {

  if(c==1)

  {

   cout<<"\n First Chance";

   }

   else if(c==2)

  {

   cout<<"\n Second Chance";

   }

   else

   {

    cout<<"\n Play Carefully!!! Last Chance";

    }

   cout<<"\n Enter the guess...";

   cin>>g;

   if(g==n)

  {

  cout<<"\n Congratulations!!! You have won";

  break;

  }

  else

 {

 cout<<"\n Better Luck Next Time";

 }

 c++;

 }

 getch();

 }

the body of the code checks the no whether the no entered by user is correct or not if it is correct it prints you won else it repeats till three chances and then ends printing you lose.
