Recharge Your Battery
It was 4:15PM on a Thursday when I arrived at the hair salon to get my haircut. My hair appointment was at 5PM but I arrived there quite early.
As I set down in the comfortable leather chair in the little “waiting corner,” I looked down to my left with an intention to pick a magazine from the big basket that was filled with maybe over 50 magazines.
I sorted through the magazines but nothing would catch my eye. There were so many different magazines; I couldn’t decide which one to pick and read while waiting.
Then, as I lifted a big batch of magazines to choose from, one of them fell down on the floor. I immediately dropped all the other magazines back into the basket and took the one that fell on the floor.
The beautiful view of a tropical island in the background, surrounded by crisp clear water covering the entire cover of the magazine, got my attention.
The magazine contained a large number of photos from tropical islands, vacation resorts and everything tropical you can imagine. I submerged myself into the pictures so much that 40 minutes went by like 4 seconds.
When I was all done with the haircut, I asked Isabella (the hair stylist) if I could take the magazine. She said that it wouldn’t be a problem because anyway they recycle the magazines at the end of each month when they bring new ones in.
The magazine is called Islands. It was a June 2004 issue. When I went home I put it next to my computer and until today’s day, it’s still sitting there.
I look through it periodically. All my life I’ve lived in the northern hemisphere of the planet, and winter is definitely not my favorite season. Not to even mention the driving headaches when we get dumped with a few feet of snow.
The tropical theme has always been a dream place of mine.
So, every time I feel down, discouraged, marketing plan isn’t working well, a goal doesn’t get accomplished, problems and obstacles appearing out of nowhere, motivation is down, no inspiration, the world is coming down on me.....
I take few peaceful minutes – no children, no computer. I pick up the magazine and
literally isolate myself from this world. I transfer my soul to the tropical beauty shown in the pictures and I visualize myself living there and not just vacationing.
My battery gets recharged; I get the smile back on my face and I say to myself: “One day …”
How many times have you felt down and depressed because of one reason or another?
How many times have you felt that you needed to recharge your battery? How many times have you lost your inspiration and motivation? How many times have you faced problems and obstacles that discouraged you from persisting with your goal?
What brought you up and what pulled you down during these crucial times?
I remember back in 1994 when I was starting college, a friend of mine gave me a study to read. The study came from a major corporate research. It was on “why executives rise to the height of their company and why other people don’t.”
The executives told in their words what they did to achieve such a success. I don’t have that study anymore but I remember it very well because I’m still practicing what they said.
One of the steps was to have material goals. Something that you can see.
The material goals represent something far beyond material form. When you visually see the material goals that you’re striving for, you receive the feeling of the kind of person you need to become in order to have them.
That feeling will recharge your fuel cells and bring your enthusiasm to the front line.
We live in a material world and we have to operate in a material world. We want material things because they’re a representation of who we are.
What you want is good, because what you want is an extension of you becoming better.
And sometimes, you just need a basic material something to spark you into a higher level of achievement.
