We all have different things that motivate us at different times in our lives, right now doing the best for my family is my motive. I totally agree Motivation requires a motive.

The stronger the language, the faster your sub-conscious mind will kick in and act out the desire. starting with “I am” instead of “I have”, you can include action words or emotion words that make the statement stronger As an example: “I have a new custom Harley Davidson motorcycle” is enhanced by saying: “I am enjoying the freedom I feel on my new custom Harley Davidson motorcycle Let’s do one more: “I have a new dream home on the hill” is enhanced by saying: “We are building memories in our new dream home on the hill.” I AM Statements can also be WE ARE Statements. Many of our desires are shared by those we have relationships with; our spouse, our business partners, our children, our friends and associates. It is only obvious that WE ARE statements will be, and should be, used in many cases. In addition, a recent study indicated that a couple that pursues the same desires and goals together are 6 times more likely to manifest those desires into their life. If you currently have an I AM list, an affirmation list, or a list of goals, restate them starting with “I am” or “We are”. You want to use as many action or emotion words as you can in your statement. Strengthen up the language that you use. Make your statements easy to remember so you can commit them to memory and replay them in your mind continuously. Put your I AM statements on 3 x 5 index cards and carry them everywhere you go. It will make all the difference in the world. Bruce Jenner won a gold medal in the 1976 Summer Olympics and was titled as the world’s greatest athlete. Several years ago he was asked to speak to a group of Olympic hopefuls. He stood in front of the group and asked them how many of them had goals? Everyone raised their hands. He then asked them how many of them had written their goals down. Again, everyone raised their hands. His final question was this: How many of you have your written goals with you right now? Only 1 athlete raised his hand. His name was Dan O’Brien who went on to win the Gold medal in the same event that Bruce Jenner had won so many years ago. This story explains the power of having your I AM statements with you at all times. Nikky

“I have a new custom Harley Davidson motorcycle” is enhanced by saying:

“I am enjoying the freedom I feel on my new custom Harley Davidson motorcycle

Let’s do one more:

“I have a new dream home on the hill” is enhanced by saying:

“We are building memories in our new dream home on the hill.”

I AM Statements can also be WE ARE Statements.

Never could get this "law of attraction" stuff,but then I read about the " I AM STATEMENT" . Instead of saying to myself " I have my (whatever) finished - no motivation there ! , I am putting it into action by saying , believing (without believing it can happen, why would I even spend time thinking about it!) - and this I am really saying " I AM transfering money in $1000.00 increments ,from my chequing account to my "debt reconciliation loan". Something inside seems to come alive when I say this, and I seem to get motivated to do my lessons on the computer ( Web Page Design course) which I am "believing" will help me move toward my I AM STATEMENT. Will someone else also try this? And let us know how you make out! I think I finally found it ! Never could get this “law of attraction” stuff,but then I read about the ” I AM STATEMENT” .

In some cases people may have just given up an life. In others quite succesful people may be following a path in life that was not their selection. Many of us need help with this.
