Step 1 Giving Away – To Receive Motivation
June 21st, 2008 | by Debra Oakland |We are forever being told that we shouldn’t give to receive – Why Not!
In an article by my Hypnosis mentor, Adam Eason, he says that Steve Chandler writes in his book ‘101 Ways To Motivate Yourself’ that to “give away some power” is an exceptional method for producing motivation. He continues by quoting Steve again, “Motivate yourself by giving someone else the ideas necessary for self-motivation” and “You can have any experience you want in life simply by giving that experience away to someone else.”
That’s why when people ask me, Steve, why are you always helping and giving yourself away to others? I say “Simple, it makes me feel good and when I feel good that feeling fills me with motivation and the more motivated I feel the more I want to give.” This article is a prime example of what I mean. Why should I bother to sit down at my laptop and write articles and take the time to submit them to article sites and share information with you? Because it makes me feel good and the more I feel good, that’s right, the more motivated I become and the more successful I become at writing articles and the more I want to share/give away.
You know I am sure that you know just how good it feels when you give someone something, whether it is a physical thing like a present on their birthday, or a mental gift of sharing an idea or giving some useful advice or information. You get the feel good factor, a warm feeling inside of you that makes you glow – that’s the motivation, and if you take that feeling and build on it you can turn it into a hypnotic feeling which you can turn on at any time you wish.
Now, that’s a powerful tool to be able to carry around with you. Being able to feel motivated whenever you want to. Just by using this one step and combining it with the power of hypnosis you will have all the motivation you need to move on to the next 6 steps for even more success.
So the lesson here is to give, give and then to give some more and your motivation scorecard will soar to heights you never thought possible.

This is a great topic - it reminds me of a video I heard where Neale Donald Walsch says:
“You cannot give what you do not already have.”
The end result being basically the same as you describe… as we give something away, we realize we always had it to begin with and so it becomes stronger within us.
