Do you sometimes feel that you’re not motivated to keep going till the end? Perhaps you realize that what you started, isn’t going to be accomplished? Or maybe you don’t have a sense of belonging and want to give up on your endeavours? Motivation is the key to progress, achievement, and success. Read my blog post for ideas on better motivation.
I’m a self-improvement blogger and also enjoy writing about motivation as a topic. In this blog post, I’ll highlight some major points about bringing the best of true motivation, concerning success.
Motivation is vital
Motivation is like fuel for the engine of growth. You need it to achieve your success goals. If you’re not motivated in doing something, better think twice…
If you’re not motivated
If what you’re trying to achieve doesn’t excite you, ask yourself a few questions. Is it worth your time and effort? Are the goals and rewards for it meaningful?
Finding the right goals
To find the right goals, link it to your life purpose. When you know what you truly want, then motivation is easier, as it happens naturally.
Set the right goals for yourself
Think carefully before setting your goals. Many people give up on their new year’s resolution, a little after they have set them. You don’t want that to happen, so, be sure.
Have a plan
Have an action plan, stick to it… use motivation. Make the use of helpful tools, such as a vision board to stay motivated.
What some famous people have said…
“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.” – Pope John XXIII
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” – Woodrow Wilson
“Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.” – Oprah Winfrey
“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.” – Katharine Hepburn
Conclusion
To sum up, motivation is a great thing. It helps you in achieving success. However, for any long-term benefits, you need true motivation. Start by carefully selecting and setting the right goals for yourself. Would you like to share your ideas on the topic? If you know someone who needs such tips, please share my blog post. Thank you!!

I have a problem with losing the steam midway. The take off is great. But I gradually lose the motivation as I make small progress 😦 Any tips to deal with that

I’d say, firstly break your goals into smaller milestones & celebrate every small win. Secondly, use a vision or a dream board to stay motivated. Place it somewhere you can see it daily. Find a link to vision boards in my blog post.

Your post is extremely precise. Motivation does need a practical approach. In fact, the questions you mention whether what we do is worth our effort and time are equally important. Next time, I am going to remember these when I feel least motivated.

Goals have to be measurable and realistic or people will give up. Break a large goal into smaller chunks. Those smaller wins will help keep you motivated!

What we don’t often discuss is the leaving room for rest and recuperation as it pertains to motivation. One cannot be motivated all the time, especially when there is so much pressure to be in our capitalist world.

That is very true. There are days I feel demotivated. Because people do not appreciate your efforts. There are things I already started but do not continue till the end because of other people’s feedback. Thanks for this article. In some ways, I learned about motivating myself and never give up when things seem bad.
