Motivation is the key to acquiring success. But how does one stay motivated all the time? Let’s learn a few things from the successful people. For instance, motivation helps successful people to always bounce back if they ever face a setback.
Know your “why”
If you want to do something you should know why. Knowing the why will help you stay motivated. You get the drive when you know the purpose. If you are not doing something out of your interest, it is high time you learn your purpose in life to be motivated.
Reframe a setback
It is very understandable that you cannot stay motivated when you have been struck by an impediment in your life. It can pull us back and hinder moving forward. You can reframe it to make things optimistic. Perhaps you missed on a job opportunity, but you can always rectify your mistake and never make the same mistakes in the future.
What have you got to lose?
If you don’t get up now, will you lose the drive to do something later? You might not have your goals clear but when you think if you do not choose to do certain things what you will lose, you begin getting the motivation to do it.
Think Big
You do not really know your limit until you have explored it. We are keen on talking ourselves down than boosting ourselves up. Think of something big so that you to make achieving it more exciting. You become thrilled and motivated to achieve big.
Develop a new plan
Sure you failed with your first plan. But you can tweak some things out to make the plan work. Never give up. Things can never go right in the first attempt itself so it is best to try again with a fresh new plan.
Just Do
Stay active and keep the activity on. Over contemplating cannot help you in getting what you need. It would stress you out and moreover kill the drive eventually to do anything.
Become accountable to someone
Sometimes it is difficult to stay accountable to yourself. It is easier to make an excuse that your mind completely tags along with and ultimately leave out doing things. When you be accountable to someone else you are more likely to do something you told others you will do. Or invite someone to join you along with the same goal as you. When you both want to hit the gym together, no one wants to look like a slacker. And you will push each other to keep going.
