10 Steps to Motivation
posted in Goal Setting, Motivation |Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves to save ourselves from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.
Living in a world that’s filled with negativity, how do we keep ourselves motivated? Here are 10 steps that you can take to be motivitated.
Step 1 - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force.
Step 2 - Believe in yourself, and in what you can do. Learn to trust your instincts.They are are your inner thoughts that help protect and lead you.
Step 3 - Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice and more than a hundred times before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.
Step 4 - Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.
Step 5 - Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t loose sight of them.
Step 6 - Give more than what is enough. By giving more, you are actually motivated to do more. For the joy of seeing a job done in excellence produces the excitement of accomplishments.
Step 7 - Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes. Step up to become leader and not follow the herd.
Step 8 - Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.
Step 9 - Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a whiner?
Step 10 - keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.
