Each time you talk to someone,
goal becomes less a secret desire, and more a route you have chosen that your friends can encourage you on.
Step 3: Even if you don't feel like it, do it anyways!
There are mornings we all loathe getting out of bed, but hitting snooze once more will not get
paperwork done any earlier, finish our paper route, or see us to success.
Feelings are not facts, but they can catch up to
facts in time - doing what you know you ought will eventually bring you a feeling of satisfaction as well as of relief.
Step 4: Reward Yourself!
When you complete a step in your overall plan, reward yourself. Little rewards along
way can make
overall job seem more attainable.
Rewards do not have to be overly expensive to provide a boost. Allow yourself a night off if you make three cold calls, or give yourself a manicure once you have completed your thank-you card list.
The goal is important, but
path you take can be where
fun is. As you think about what arena of life you wish to succeed in, remind yourself how capable you are.
Goals are meant to stretch us and push into places we would not ordinarily go. Let
journey help you grow as a person.
Recognize that, although you will not always feel
same level of motivation, an unwavering commitment can make all
difference and you can stay motivated to succeed.
