Be Tough On Yourself, Why do you Need to be Tough on Yourself?

We live in a world where we believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to get ourselves to lose weight, get started in our business, or have something we want.  We encourage children with trophies of participation, not trophies for winning.  As parents we aren’t allowed to punish our children but we must reinforce behavior by being positive.  How often does that work?  Sometimes you have to be tough on yourself in order to get what you want in life.

Let me ask you, do you follow the speed limit because you want to or because the cops will give you positive reinforcement if you follow the speed limit?  Or do you follow the speed limit because you are afraid of the ticket and large fine you will receive if you go over the speed limit.  Do you pay you taxes because Uncle Sam will give you a pat on the back for paying your taxes or are you afraid of the IRS?  It isn’t the positive reinforcement that makes you follow the rules; it’s the negative consequences that make you follow the rules.

That’s why so many people become successful when they become desperate.  I don’t know of one person that became a success in a home-based business by having a lot of money and doing the business.  I know plenty that were broke and thousands of dollars in credit card debt that made up their mind to make it happen.  They were not going to be denied.  They were going to make it or break it.  They made it, most made it big.   

I also know that many people will not go on a diet, lose weight, or take care of themselves until they have the heart attack or get cancer.  It’s just a fact; humans are wired not to do anything unless something goes wrong.  We tend to stay in our little rut. 

Will you be tough on yourself voluntarily?  I doubt it.  It takes some kind of crisis in order for you to get out of your comfort zone and do what it is that you know you should do.  If you want to take off some extra pounds you should do some kind of negative reinforcement in order to make it happen.  I heard the story of a person that decided that she would give to the most horrible charity that she knew if she didn’t lose 30 pounds.  Every time she took a cookie she would think about the horrible charity she would not eat the cookie.  Guess what, she lost the 30 pounds.

What will it take for you to get tough on yourself and get what you want in life?  Will it take a heart attack or some horrible disease to get you to take care of yourself?  Will it take a financial crisis for you to finally get into gear with your business?  So get tough on yourself and do what you are supposed to do.
