I have done so much with my personality but it did take 6 years of practice (feeling/visualization). Visualizing creates the feeling. That is how it manifests into the quantum.

I love this article! Thank you. I will share with my single advice column. ~Evie Michelle

Although converting inspiration into motivation is not always just a visualisation away.. Also trying to imagine the obstacles might backfire as well because you might have a tendency to listen to other people or use the same level of thinking you’ve always usen (and that got you to where you are atm)..

But it’s a good point your making. How to convert inspiration into motivation. I think different people will have to approach this differently

It feels good and you get that momentary high of feeling good about it, but in the end, it doesn’t do anything because it fades quickly. Then you need to search it out again, but you never actually do anything with it. It reminds me of some inspirational videos I’ve seen on Youtube. They get you feeling good and inspired, but that’s it. You don’t take the changes you need to do.

I like your idea of finding positive reasons to pursue your goal. That, to me, seems like it would be both inspiring and motivational. It wouldn’t fade as quickly as you could keep that in your mind as you work towards it. Goals take a long time so you need to find something to keep you going.
