It's so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail,
isn't
it? Are there times in your life when you really want
to call
it "quits" because you just can't see any good
results from all
the hard work you've done?
Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit and
quitters
never win. Take all negative words out of your mental
dictionary
and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and
patience.
The battle is never lost until you've abandon your vision.
But what if you're really exhausted physically, mentally,
and
most of all emotionally? Here are some sources of motivation
to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment.
1) The Overwhelming Feeling of Attaining your
Desired End
How would you feel after accomplishing your mission?
Of course you will feel ecstatic. You might be shedding
tears of joy. Let this tremendous feeling sink in and
encourage you to persist despite all odds.
When I was studying for the Board Exams, I used this
technique to motivate me. I would envision the sweetness
of folks calling me a CPA. It would command respect.
People will look up to me as a higher level of authority.
And I would have better chances of finding a good job.
I absorbed all these great perceptions into my inner
being in order to achieve my ultimate goal.
2) The Reward System
How would you feel if you've entered a contest, but
there are no prizes for the winners? It's not very encouraging,
isn't it?The same principles apply to your vision. Reward
yourself after accomplishing a goal. Set a particular
incentive for every objective.
Let's say if you've achieved a particular task, you'll
treat yourself to your favorite restaurant. When you've finished
a bigger task, you'll go on a vacation.
Got the idea?
Just set something gratifying to indulge in after completing
a certain undertaking.
3) The Powerful Force of Humanity
If you want to succeed, surround yourself with the
right kind of people who will support and encourage you all the way.
Be with people who have the same beliefs and aspirations
as yours. Positive aura is generated by this fusion
of collective energy from people of "like minds."
On the contrary, being with people who oppose your
ways of thinking may trigger a negative, yet very powerful,
kind of motivation.
Has anyone ever said to you that "You'll never
get anywhere" or "You're wasting your time
with what you're doing?"
Didn't it made you furious and determined enough to
prove to them how wrong they were? This is what I'm
talking about.
When aggravated, you will do anything to make those
who are against you swallow their words. But of course,
your main focus should be on the accomplishment of your
goal and not for the purpose of revenge. Never let your
emotions toward others alter your main objective.
4) Take Care Of Your Health
Exercise regularly. Fill your brains with enough oxygen
to allow you to do your daily tasks with more vigor
and energy.
Take regular breaks if time allows. Having the will
power to continue despite all hardships is extremely
important, but you should still know your limits.
If you don't take enough rest, you will not be able
to think clearly and you will not be able to do your
tasks properly. In the process, you will just get more
frustrated.
Take sufficient sleep and recharge yourself after a
hard day's work. Never, ever ignore your health. I've
learned my lesson when I sacrificed my health for the
sake of success. I've worked very long hours everyday
and just got minimal sleep. As a result, I became ill.
It's not worth it. Success won't matter if you don't
have good health to enjoy it.
