Motivational Speakers in South Africa - Build a Solid Foundation

Motivational Speakers in South Africa - Build a Solid Foundation

How strong is the foundation of your life right now? As one of the  most sought after Motivational Speakers in South Africa, Andrew will ask you if you are you satisfied that you have built a rock solid base, from which you can launch your future success? I believe the foundation of your life is built on your values, which are comprised of your character, integrity, belief, loyalty and honesty. To truly be successful in life you need to ensure that you have a foundation, which is harmonious and based on all the crucial elements of your personal values.

I have seen people compromise on their values, where they have walked all over other people to acquire great financial wealth, using deceit as a tool for their success. These people appear to have all the flashings, which go with success, but they lack true friends and deep relationships with people, who matter. There are also those business professionals, who invest so much time into their corporate lives that they alienate their families, as they climb the corporate ladder. Or the business tycoon, who has acquired great financial wealth, but is lying alone in his bed in the hospital recovering from his second triple heart bypass operation. None of these people have an understanding of balance and harmony in their lives.

Harmony or Balance in Life

As my experience grows and the more I see people around me compromise on their values. Where they live lives, which are out of sync with the harmony and balance in the universe, the more convinced I become that we have a responsibility to not only focus on one element in our lives, at the expense of any other. We must strive for harmony and always remain in alignment with our authentic self. We can never be content or fulfilled, if we live in a place which is unbalanced or out of sync with the universe or our own inner values. Your values are the cornerstone of your happiness and contentment.

We are thinkers and Doers

All of us go through live thinking thoughts, which drive our actions or lack thereof. We all act according to our most dominant thoughts, so if your dominant thoughts are focused on lack, negativity or losing, that is exactly what you will get to see in your life. I believe that we are all wonderful creators and winners in our own unique and special way. So if you want to achieve success and meaning in your life, you must act in alignment with your values and must remain focused on thinking positive developmental thoughts.

Think better thoughts

You are where you are right now because of what you have thought up until now. So if you want to change where you are going to end up one year, five years or even ten years from now, you must change the way you think. Your thinking drives your choices and decisions, which in turn determine the actions you take or fail to take and as the actions you take or fail to take, determine the results you experience. The obvious way to improve your results is to change the way you think.

Foundation Stones

Remember that your values or the foundation stones I described earlier, namely Your character, integrity, belief, loyalty and honesty, are the raw materials your mind uses to create all its thinking. They are at the core of all your thinking and will determine, what you have, what you do and are the key factors, which determine the results you get to enjoy in your life. They are effectively the code, which determines how your life will turn out. Opportunity lies within you, accept that success is not a result of chance, but choice. Choose to be authentic, live according to your true values and success is yours for the taking.

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.
