I want to tell you something. I am very lucky SOB because I have a thing that can motivate me better than any book, movie musical composition or any old thing. Even if I couldn’t have a habit to create my “inspirational short stories” this thing could feed my spirit with motivational thoughts to manage diversiform buggers and turnabouts that sometimes appear in our dusty milk-run. It costed me about 150 bucks but I couldn’t change it for any other possible inspirational source. What is it?

It is the helmet of our older son Dāvis. Every time when I take it into my hands (and I do it often enough as he can’t reach the top of the warderobe without a chair yet:-)) an esteem obsess me about this little warrior who moves forward consistently in spite of so many falls in his choosen way. This helmet really kicks my lazy ass (sorry – rise my motivation:-)) as often as I’m going down.

Dāvis is twelve and he is in BMX already five years. We (I and my wife) never took any pressure on him to chose this instant kind of sport. Sometimes we passed the BMX track near our town and one fine day Dāvis (he was eight then) pronounced that he wanted to get to that track. We had no clue about nuances of this sport. We found out about those in legth of time. I thought that it was a dream for every boy to do what they enjoyed the best – riding in the fenced track with kindreds. It was… but it was connected with hard drills, breathtaking jumps and painfull falls too. And this is why it stays only a dream for many beginners who has attempted. I had to ackowledge with disgrace that I waited when it finished. No motivational thoughts could help me. No, no – of course we supported our son as we could but inside pf me… But time went, the body protection of our boy became alike armour of gladiator of the ancient Rome but nipper just twirled pedals. I didn’t describe further treads of my son (he’s still twirling pedals and his assuredness grows up) but I wanted to tell what this told on me.

As I’m seeing my son’s helmetalmost every day it has became for me as my most motivational thing all in all. Seriously! If I’m seeing how this little boy move along by falling and rising, by ignoring bruise and wounds, I (adult male, 192, 85) can’t afford even thinking about yielding ahead of any backsets on my way. His helmet is my physical inrealtimeexistenteverydayattendantnotfictional paradigm of courage and persistence on the way to the setting goal. As I said I’m lucky because I have this thing that keeps me motivated constantly! If you have one too – I’m glad for you. If not – look around and find one. As closer it will be to you (more involving with you) as more powerful your motivational thoughts will rouse you to move towards your goals. By the way – you are wrong rather if you think that it is “Jack Daniel” at arm’slength from you:-), search more narrowly. It is worth. Good luck!

I want to share an article of Mike Mahler. He is a kettlebell instructor and strenght coach from Las Vegas. Mike Mahler has done many kettlebell workshops across the United States and overseas from 2002. Kettlebells was the thing I startred to use for keeping myself fit couple of years ago after my active career as a security shooting instructor. I bumped against his blog on the world wide web and found Mike’s advices very valuable for me.

But it wasn’t his only strong point – he prowed to be a good motivational writer too in my opinion. I like his direct and unvarnished style of writing (I didn’t dig deep – maby he has a very good corrector:-)).

The main motivational thought of this article is about going to your dreams and goals without any shade of doubts and back-up plans. It’s about a throughgoing focus on what you want to achieve. It’s about exclusion even the idea of substitution of your goal. I’m requesting you to do not perceive “do or die” idea literally but you must hang on with it definitely.

So, here is the article, enjoy!

I made this motivation poster/movie for upkeeping my motivation to come back to the work on an enduro track that we started last year. It stared from a quick brain-child in winter of 2008 about using a grassland, firebreaks and old logging passes within the wood of my ancestries for creating an enduro track for self enjoyment and improvement of riding skills. Sometimes it happens in life – concerning to driving there’s no problem to find confederates, but what concerning some work… However involvement came from an unexpected side – two eleven and nine years old persons extended a honest involvment into the further trend of events. With two so selfmotivated baterries:-) such skeptic like me rejoin an array. This motivation poster is dedicated to my boys through and through with true appreciation.

“The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news… and it’s not entirely the medias fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than GOOD NEWS.”

Everything I knew about electricity previously was that A.C. and D.C. was rockband with sexual concerned lyrics and everything I knew about motorcycles – those must growled like HD. Time goes. So much has changed… Now I know they are from Australia and I’m riding by Honda:-).

If serious I wanted to tell you I intended to start a new category on my blog just about good news befalling on the mother Earth. Just intended – I had no clue what the first message could be. Than I bumped against information about Mission One – electric motorcycle. Oh, of course we all know about diversiform electrical means of conveyance – they are zany and tardy:-). People, it’s not that case! Mission One can attain 150 mph and it has torsional moment what gas engines can’t reach. Into the bargain it looks like an artwork of sport bikes. Also I think it is a really big and real step to make world more green.

But the main purpose of this post isn’t a bike, it is about people. People who did it. They had a dream, they made aplan, they took an action to realized it.

“Forrest North first dreamed of building an electric motorcycle when leading the Stanford Solar Car Team in 1998. … Forest enlisted the help of friends Edward West and Mason Cabot. … Together the three founders began building the wision for a new type of motorcycle company. … In July 2007, they bought a 1994 Ducati 900 and go to work stripping out the engine and converting it to electric drive. Two month later, the three founders had converted the classic Ducati into the highest performing street legal electric motorcycle in the world.”

I’ve read about some “historical” guy Edwin C. Barnes who becomed a bussiness associate of Thomas Alva Edison (widely known as Edison who had invented and developed many useful devices:-)). This guy (Edwin) strated with a “picture” in his mind, offered whopping persistence and took steps necessary to rich his goal. Latvians has saying: “This was long before and it wasn’t a truth”. You bet! None can tell us how it was in fact. Mission Motors story isn’t even a story – it happens right now – real people with flesh and blood. I’m glad we are contemporaries.

We must not to be in a flap that we will never feel up to invent sails for space ship for instance, no. We must learn and implement in our prosy:-) life this simple formula: take a picture in your mind, keep it there, take steps and you will be there.

“The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s deserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together”.

We use that kind of holiday rides often. These advetures are maybe short and simple but if you will invest a bit of invention in your route planning or/and tools of moving, these can kick some depressive or all hard working week dog-tired ass very well. Impressions from this will be enough to await next weekend. The hardest part is to understand itself that this ride maybe will tired you physically but it will free you from the working day weariness.

“In that world you’ll be able to rise in the morning with a spirit you had known in your childhood: that spirit of eagerness, adventure and certainty which comes from dealing with a rational universe”.
