You have the Freedom to choose, Presented by Motivational Speakers in South Africa

After attending this presentation by the best motivational speakers in South Africa, you will understand that having the freedom to choose and the freedom to do what you want is something people have fought wars over for centuries now. Freedom of choice is a really wonderful right to enjoy. The challenge it brings though, is simply this. You can choose leisure over labour, entertainment over industry and ignorance over education. Each choice will take your life in a direction. The question is, will the choices you make support you to be happy and bring the meaning and fulfillment you desire into your life or will they leave you filled with unhappiness and regret? 

As one of the most entertaining motivational speakers in South Africa, Andrew will show you that, in the short term, choosing leisure over labour, will bring great pleasure in the moment, but will leave you living a future, which you will not enjoy, one filled with no joy and regret. On the other hand, choosing to carry out goal specific activities every day, will cause discomfort in the moment, but will deliver an incredible future, with no regret. Choosing to carry out goal specific activities will cause small discomfort in the moment, which weighs ounces, whereas regret for what could have been, weighs tons and will cause huge pain in the future. Choose activity over laziness and you can mold the way your future will turn out, moment by moment.

It is easy to do

Of course carrying out your goal specific activities is easy to do, every day. The challenge you face, is that they are also easy not to do. Yes of course it is easy to set goals, which can change your life, but it is also easy to remain trapped in a cycle of laziness, where you spin your wheels every day, going nowhere. Waking up in the morning and reading a book for 30 minutes is easy to do, but then so is pressing the snooze button and going back to sleep. One choice will educate you and allow you to grow into the person you need to become to attract the success you desire. The other will keep you trapped in average, living a life with little or no meaning at all.

Success is Simple

Note I said success is simple, I never said it was easy. The activity required to become successful is simple, the difficulty comes from the choices you need to make. You need to sacrifice pleasure in the moment, for results in the future. It is not a lack of money or opportunity, or books or even great teachers, which is keeping you trapped in average. Everything you need to become anything you want is within your reach. The only reason people do not take advantage of all the abundance around them is due to laziness and neglect.

Neglect is like a Disease

If neglect is allowed to enter your life, it will spread like a virus throughout, every facet of your life. It will infect your disciplines, drive, and passion, infecting you with zero ambition, which will eventually lead to the complete destruction of a potentially prosperous life. Your self-worth and self-confidence will erode and this will further drive you towards even less activity. The reduced levels of activity, especially goal specific activity, will cause poorer and poorer results and you will be left, living a meaningless life of overwhelm and stress.

Action Idea: Choose to sacrifice pleasure in the moment. Do the things, which are easy to do daily and watch your life unfold into the future you want.

Motivational Speakers in South Africa ask you “Why not you”?

If you are looking for one of the top motivational speakers in South Africa, Look no further. I am confident that I will exceed your expectations on every level. As I travel around the world meeting new people every day. Wherever I go, I bump into people, who are living their dreams. I see new millionaires, people in great physical shape, people experiencing incredible relationships, people on an incredible spiritual path of enlightenment, people committed to constant learning and people, who love their vocation in life. So I have no doubt that living an incredible life filled with realised dreams, is not only possible, but very probable for you too. Someone, somewhere is getting rich, improving their health and optimising their lifestyle. Why can that person not be you?

Desire is not the Challenge

As one of the top motivational speakers in South Africa, I meet hundreds of new people every month as I travel around the world. To date I have not met one, who does not want to improve their circumstances and create the best possible life they can. Almost everyone wants to improve their experience, by earning more money, improving their relationships, optimising their level of health, working in a job they love and they want to improve their spiritual understanding. My question then is simple. If we all want to improve our circumstances and we have the tools to do just that. Why are so many people trapped in lives they hate?

You have the Tools

I have shown that you have the desire, you know that you have the ability to visualise the perfect future and you possess the cognitive ability to create a set of goals and plans to support you to bring that vision of possibility to life. So why have you not utilised these gifts yet? Why are you allowing yourself to remain trapped in average? You are exceptional and you possess everything you need to achieve remarkable things. The only thing stopping you is your commitment to take action.

Make the right Decision Today

All around you people are sharing in the abundance, which ebbs and flows around all of us. Don’t you think it is time that you, started to take advantage of your birth right, where you too can start to share in this wonder. Someone around you is improving their circumstances right now. Why can’t that person be you? Make a decision right now and allow yourself to dream, create a vision for the future, goals to allow you to travel towards your vision, action plans to guide your daily activity and utilise your self-discipline to keep you doing the difficult daily tasks and achieving greatness is inevitable.

Commit to Improve

The first and most crucial decision is for you to commit to work on yourself. Make your personal development a priority and commit to make growth and learning part of who you are. If you want to grow beyond where you are right now you need to build a plan to grow. As you grow and expand, you will see your world grow and expand in direct proportion to your personal growth. Where you are right now is the result of who you are right now. Who you become in the future, depends on who you will become.

Action Idea: Stop looking around your world, seeing others who are living the life you wish you could live. Instead dare to see yourself living that life yourself, create goals to move you in that direction, plans which will allow you to achieve your goals and daily action lists to guide your daily activity. Then take action daily, measure your progress regularly, keep learning and growing and that life is yours for the taking.

Motivational Speakers in South Africa ask you – Who is influencing the way your life will turn out?

All the programs offered by one of the top motivational speakers in South Africa will ask you to search deeply within. You will be asked to search and discover your inner self. The challenge as I see it is that, you think you are really strong and the people who you surround yourself with, do not influence you in any way. This has been shown to be inaccurate, by the research, which was conducted by MIT. They conducted experiments where they observed people’s brain activity, whilst they lay absolutely still, just observing the people around them. The people, who lay motionless and only observed the activity of the people around them, had a brain response exactly the same as the people carrying out the activity. Their brain responded, as though they were carrying out the activity themselves. This is our mirror neurons at work. 

One of the key areas, which will be highlighted during this inspiring motivational speakers in South Africa presentation, is the fact that, from an early age we have an incredible ability to mirror the behaviour of the people around us. This is a very effective mechanism, which helps us to quickly learn a number of useful things, necessary for our survival. This mechanism, does not switch off as we get older and as such we are programed to mirror the behaviour of the people around us, throughout our lives. Eventually you will speak like, think like, dress like and act like the people you spend most of you time around. This is an unconscious response and will happen despite your best efforts to stop it from happening. 

Who are you Around?

If the people you surround yourself with, have such a profound effect on your life, don’t you think you should become far more selective about the people you choose to be in your inner circle. Invest the time today to look at the people in your inner circle. Who are you around?

What are your Associations doing for you?

Ask yourself the following questions:

·         What are the people closest to me doing for me?

·         What have they got me doing or not doing?

·         What have they got me listening to?

·         What have the influenced me to read or am I not reading at all?

·         Where are they influencing me to go or not go?

·         How have they affected my thinking?

·         What language have they influenced me to use or not use?

·         How do I feel, when I am around them?

·         Finally ask the toughest question of all. “Is that OK”?

Are the people closest to you, a positive influence and energising influence, who inspire you to read books, attend seminars and who support you to take goal specific action every day? Or are there bad apples in the bunch, who constantly drag you off track and who encourage you to slack off, where they encourage you to choose entertainment over activity and leisure over industry. Have the courage to take an in-depth look at all of the people closest to you. Invest the time to give them a second look. Try to see how they are influencing you. 

Both the people, who have a positive or negative influence over you, will take you somewhere. Remember that only the positive influencers will take you in the direction you really want to go. Assessing your associations, is an on-going process. You have to constantly be vigilant and on the lookout for how the scales are tipping. Ignorance, when it comes to the people in your inner circle, is most certainly not the best policy. Knowing how people in your inner circle are influencing you, is the only way to ensure you are not slowly dragged off track.

Take Control

The people closest to you, do influence and shape your life and will pull you in a direction. Ignorance will allow the tide of negative influence to take you in a direction you do not want. You will be gradually tugged off track, until one day you wake up and can’t understand how you have got so far off track. The same is true for those positive influencers in your life. They will support you and gradually pull you in a positive direction. You will wake up one day, amazed at how far you have managed to travel down the path towards the meaning you desire, wondering why it had all seemed so easy.

Hire the right Motivational Speakers for your Event

Meaning is found in Great Relationships

If you want to hire the right motivational Speakers for your conference then look no further than Andrew Horton. This presentation is all about great relationships. After attending this presentation, you will understand why I believe that nothing can ever bring as much joy and happiness into your experience, as you will receive from a beautiful and fulfilling relationship. They bring so many gifts along with them, in the form of understanding, appreciation and meaning, which all add up to make life worthwhile. Great relationships do make the world a better place and will bring incredible levels of satisfaction into your life. They bring fulfilment, grace, love and joy into your life. 

Expect nothing

Andrew is the one of the right motivational speakers for any event, requiring energy, enthusiasm and inspiration. He will show all attendees that all you have to do to receive all these rewards is to give 100 % and expect nothing in return. Wow that sounds crazy. How can a one sided relationship work. Well obviously it can’t. It requires the other person to also give 100 % and expect nothing in return for it to work. When people in any relationship, always give their best and expect nothing in return. A modality of fair exchange exists, where all parties are not looking for what is in it for them. Instead they want to support the other person, who in return wants to support them. Imagine how any business relationship would thrive, if both parties wanted to help and support each other.

Develop a serving heart

If you want to bask in the wonder, which comes from great relationships, then you must always approach any relationship with a serving heart. As Zig Ziglar so eloquently said “you can have everything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want out of life” This simply means that if you stop focusing on your own selfish needs and instead focus on helping others to get what they want. You will prosper.

Communicate Honestly

The key to develop and sustain any relationship is, always based on honest communication. When you are authentic, honest and always speak with integrity, you have access to a vehicle, which allows you to verbalize what is inside you, thereby helping you connect with people on a deeper level. Always be honest in your dealing with people, act authentically and you will develop, mutually beneficial, sustainable, long term relationships with people. This will be helpful with both your personal and business relationships. 

Friendliness. Put simply, relationships just work better when we are friendly with others. Being friendly can cushion the bumpy ride we sometimes experience in our relationships. Cheerfulness goes a long way toward building lasting relationships. I mean, nobody wants to be around a grump, do they? The fact is that the friendlier you are, the more you are going to have people who want to pursue longer-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with you. So cheer up, put on a smile, have kind words to say to others, treat people with a great deal of friendliness, and you will see your relationships improve.

Patience. People being people, we have an awful lot of time for practice in the area of patience. People are not perfect and will constantly fail us. And, conversely, we will fail other people. So while we try to have more patience for others, we need their patience as well. So often, I think relationships break down because people give up and lose patience. I am talking about all kinds of friendships, marriages, business relationships, etc. Recent research has shown that those marriages that go through major turmoil and then make it through are very strong after doing so. Patience wins out. Those who give up on relationships too early or because the other person isn’t perfect often forget that their next friend, their next spouse or business partner will not be perfect either! So, we would do well to cultivate this skill and learn to have more patience.

Loyalty. Loyalty is a commitment to another person. Sadly, loyalty is often a missing element in many relationships today. We have forgotten what it means to be loyal. Our consumer mentality has affected this to some degree. People are no longer loyal to a product. And, unfortunately, many companies are not loyal to their clients or patrons. Regrettably, this has spilled over into our relationships. It is one thing to switch brands of dishwashing detergent. It is another thing altogether to switch friends. Sometimes we just need to commit to being loyal and let the relationship move forward. We need a higher level of stick-to-it-iveness! This kind of loyalty will take our relationships to a much deeper level. What a powerful and secure feeling of knowing that you have a relationship with someone who is loyal to you and you to them—that neither of you is going anywhere even when things get tough. Wow—how powerful!

A Common Purpose. One of the basics of healthy relationships is to have a common purpose, and oftentimes this is a component that is initially overlooked, but for a long-term, long-lasting relationship it is vital. Think about how many friends you have met through the years while working on a common purpose. Maybe it was someone you met while participating in sports, while working on a political campaign, attending church, at your office, or anything that brought you together to work on a common purpose. You had that strong common bond of purpose that brought you together and held you together. Working together, building together, failing and succeeding together—all while pursuing a common purpose—that is what relationships are made of. Find people with whom you have common purposes and sow the seeds of great relationships, and then reap the long-lasting benefits.

Fun. All good relationships have some element of fun. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean loud, raucous fun, though that is appropriate for some relationships. But even in business relationships there should be some fun. It should be fun to do business with those who you are going to have a long-term business relationship with. Fun brings enjoyment to the relationship, and that is important. I think that oftentimes this key element can be easily forgotten or neglected in our family and spousal relationships. The fun things we did initially in a new relationship after a while can be taken for granted or simply fall by the wayside and we stop creating the fun and joy. So remember to consciously craft fun situations and moments, for these are the glue that hold our memories together and make our lives sweet.

There are so many key ingredients to making and maintaining great, long-lasting relationships. Each of the eight components we discussed brings unique dynamics and rewards to your relationships. Let’s begin to focus on improving our relationships in these areas and see what miracles occur!
