'Know thyself and all will be revealed'

By: Tunisia I.E. Al-Salahuddin

Motivation- “Inner strivings of individuals that direct behavior. Unsatisfied desires create the motivation to act with purposeful behavior to achieve gratification.”  (2011, Barron’s Business Dictionary) 

Genesis 3:9 But the God called to the man, "Where are you?"“Know thyself and all will be revealed.”

          Being a mother of three little girls during the era of the ending of the Iraq war all awhile trying to develop a business and looking for work on the side.  Every day I would find ways to motivate myself and my children to still have faith and hope. I would think of sayings and quotes that I could use to help motivate myself while encouraging my children to do better along with others around me. These big sayings of motivation would encourage me and open up prosperous financial doors in places that I never knew I could obtain. By no means is this a biography of my life, but a writing on how empowering yourself with the power that dwells within you can help you learn how to help yourself! I have been motivating others for years and felt it was beneficial and encouraging; motivating those who are in front;            

Having the courage to exfoliate the self-hate and destructive behavior that I once knew but now rejected. To be able to shine not just for others; but for my children by bringing out the Boss that dwelled within me. BOSS which mean to me, “Bringing Out Supreme Splendor,” is something that we all have within us and need  to work on daily.

            I had to realize the power, gifts, and talents within me to do better for self and my family. To be able to encourage not just women, but men as well for a daily dose of motivation to help build up the interior of the person in a time of uncertainty. This manual is very powerful in the process of motivating and empowering you to go look for work, enjoy your family, and motivate other, but before you look for others to motivate, esteem, or appreciate you look within yourself first for what you need to get you going on a daily bases.

I included quotes and references from leaders, teachers, and authors that gave more insight into personal development. Remember never give up on your optimistic dreams and always stay motivated, hopeful, and have faith to do better and live better than before. This manual is not teaching self-gratification, but to show you how to build up self in order to do better and live better. I will often times repeat myself within this manual, so that which I convey to you will infiltrate and permeate your mind and thoughts to change that horrific thinking that held you back. As you read daily write in a journal to reflect and motivate yourself to do well in all you do, and pay it forward by encouraging others to also do well! After you asses yourself, re-evaluate your state of being and your surroundings realizing that you are gifted and talented then you will be able to open financial doors that you never knew you were capable of opening. This manual is not particular to one group but beneficial to the man or woman that has been trying to overcome struggles of life. This is a powerful read, so take heed to every word and phrase meticulously.

     What I notice within the changing world is there is so many new millionaires rising up by 2014-2015; you will see this new flux of brilliance arriving, and the question is do you want to be one of these new millionaires or brilliant people. Many motivational speakers need to realize that the language has changed with this new group of entrepreneurs, and you must know the language nor will they accept the knowledge from anyone who does not understand where they came from or what they strive establish each day. Many of these new entrepreneurs where not born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but strive to obtain as many financial spoons as possible. 

“Motivate Yourself for Progress”

“If there is No Struggle there is No Progress.”

~Frederick Douglas~

     Once you have a full understanding that struggles will come and go that is when you can proceed without hesitation. Struggles should not be taken as just something to hinder us, but a development tool that will allow us to be stronger for the bigger financial benefits that are on the way. Often we find ourselves looking outward into the world for recognition and acceptance, but never looking inward first. Learn How to be non absorbent of others mess and garbage, so your soul can grow to maturity and rise above whatever holds you back in life!

It is good to get words of encouragement to keep motivated, but understand it always starts with the man or woman standing in the mirror. Not truly understanding why we have struggles in the first place. Maybe you are getting prepared for something great to come? Maybe the struggle is to see how you handle a little before you receive a lot? These questions often arise within us all at some point in our life.

     No matter what you may be going through in your life you have to motivate yourself each and every day regardless. Some days it may seem like this is truly impossible, but all things are possible if you believe in yourself and you believe that there is something great in the universe bigger than you that hears and sees you, and believes that you are truly worthy and determined to do better.

“The effort to motivating the self, therefore, is to undertake a critical examination to diagnose potentials and deficits in one’s current needs, cognitions, emotions, environmental surroundings, and interpersonal relationships” (2009 ,John Marshall).

     Motivating yourself will at times mean staying away from those who demonstrate quite the opposite traits and characteristics of what you are trying to develop within you of being a better  person that you set out to be is surfacing fully. Not thinking you are better, but actually doing better. This does not mean never visiting past friends, family members, or co-workers, but if you are trying to climb a mountain with a pep squad of people who are telling you that you can’t do it and all along trying to tear you down. It’s time to dis-associate yourself from those people until you are built up properly and not allow the pessimistic thoughts to infiltrate your essence of being the better you.

“It’s Not Change But, the Hidden Inner You Coming Out”

“Exfoliate the Old You to Bring Out a Better You”  'Tunisia I.E. Al-Salahuddin'

      Who Are You? Where Are You?  ‘KNOW THY SELF’ While developing the new you there must be significant changes within your life. One of these changes is over indulging in things that are not beneficial to the body and mind. motivation starts with the mind, and the body. Not getting it mixed up with doing foolish or stupid things when you were young for that is actually different indeed that’s called learning from your dumb mistakes.  As you obtain knowledge it is much easier to say no firmly. Stay young in body and spirit, but wiser in mind should be a process you work on daily. This is something else you need to get familiar with; how to say no to what you like and don’t like. Another thing that you should never give up is having fun or a great laugh. Comedy and laughter is known to cure many elements from within the body and soul. Laughter is an exceptional motivator, and through comedy you can get rejuvenated. Not laughing at people, but with them about modern issues and situation can relieve tension and stress, so this should not be something you should never give up, but embrace always.

      Exfoliate the old you I mean removing the layers of built up sorrow, agony of past hurts and disappointments of life to bring out the best you ever. We are sometimes burden down with past issues that we for some reason cannot seem to shake off. This friend is a process indeed it takes time, effort, and work to be able to exfoliate the yesteryears of mess that we so generously put on. We exfoliate our bodies when we bath, but how often do we exfoliate our inner being or do we ever do the needed maintenance that is required to keep going every day. I am not talking about just a doctor’s checkup, but a soul and spiritual checkup. How often do we look at the fabric or fiber of our situation and do the needed mending and repairs required. You do not have to be of any particular religion, race, or ethnicity but willing to examine yourself and see what needs to be removed for personal growth. Even to do this it takes motivation, and yes there are going to be people who do not want to see you develop, and when these people surface within your life it would be extremely important that you make no excuses for trying to do better for you owe them no explanation at all for your growth and development within your life. You owe them nothing.

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth a zillion hours of praise and wealth after success” ~Unknown     

 Note By no means is money always the solution to all your problems but it does give a inner peace along with faith and 'Knowing Thy Self" I never ever call myself a dumping ground or garbage can for anyone mess for my Grandmother did not raise me to be less than, and for those who read this, ' you should think the same.'

 My Philosophical view is  'Know Thy Self Before You Do As Thy Wilt'  For I do not practice no religion not even atheist but seek the One Supreme Being (Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding). I read from all holy books and take what is needed for the growth of my soul and being!
