Motivation is not a magical solution to all your problems. It won't guarantee you lifetime success without any hardships or have everything so smoothly. A lot of people think a little motivation means that achievements and glory will just fall on your lap out of nowhere. But sorry to pop your bubble, that’s not how things work. Motivation isn’t the endpoint, but rather the starting point of your venture.
Finding motivation is choosing where you want to go and why; what are your intentions and why is the goal so important. Just because you chose the destination, doesn’t mean you will always get there. You still need to go through those dreading hours, aching to take a long vacation and have this constant desire to give up. But if you keep reminding yourself, why you started the journey in the first place, then it won't seem like an impossible act.
We understand that is not always easy to stay motivated, hence, we have come together to share few tricks on how to stay motivated and work towards your goals persistently.
- Know What You Want From Life
Most of us are confused about which life path to choose. With constantly being bombarded with various advice coming from others, we often end up getting confused. Therefore, it is very important to know what YOU want from life. And try to keep the expectations aside for a while. Until and unless you own your goals, you would never feel motivated and enthusiastic to participate in the hustle. Do not wish to adopt others’ goals as yours. Remember no one knows you better than you.
- Envision the Details and Know the Reality
First and foremost, know the difference between a goal and a dream. A goal is something that you know is achievable, like scoring the highest in class. But dreams, on the other hand, may not be practical and lack plans and visions, for example, owning a penthouse worth millions. Dreams are long-term, but goals are short-term. And the most important thing to remember, know where you are. Take one step at a time, and you will see reaching your goals in no time.
- The Power of Expectations
Even though expectations are perceived to be negative, but they do have their own magical spells. After you have decided on your goals, share them with your family and friends. Express your plans to the trusted ones and take the necessary steps to make it in reality. When you explain your goals, you turn them into physical deadlines. If no one knows what you are doing, you can easily get away with not doing it. It kind of creates pressure on you and you are determined to achieve them.
- Keep Your Eyes on Your Goal
We often forget the purpose of our journey in between. That’s when we need to keep our eyes on the goal or prize. Know what you are aiming at and keep working towards it. If your goal is to win the football match, remind yourself of the grand moment of receiving the prize or the scholarship you would be receiving after winning the same. This way you will never feel like losing.
- Know-How Far You Have Come
You definitely don’t want to give up when you have hustled all the way. It's like trekking; we often look back to see how far we have come and that makes us feel accomplished. This saw your track records and keep saying to yourself “a little bit more.”
Failures are bound to happen and it is impossible to stay motivated all the time. But what matters the most here is how you make your comeback and stand stronger than before. Make mistakes but take a good lesson from them. Acknowledge the compliments and work harder for the next.
