Motivation

Motivation is the key to progress and soaring beyond just an initial idea. Sadly it’s extremely easy to get sidetracked and thus get nowhere.

And so, how do you motivate yourself and how do you remain motivated? Well there is no universal answer, what motivates and spurs you on may have absolutely zero impact on how I feel and behave. This means that we have to find this out for ourselves, something which tends to prove considerably harder than one would expect.

My advice is to self examine. I truly believe you’re more perceptive about your behavioural patterns and past behaviour than you assume. Take a long and hard look at what has encouraged you to go that extra mile in years passed. Was it a hunger for more, a lust for completing a project? Were you looking for some form of recognition or was it the idea that you could help out someone or a cause that would make you feel better about yourself…

Whatever your motivation happened to be, tapping into it is essential in order to consistently achieve the goals you so desire to achieve. Nobody can do it for you, all people can do is expect you to examine yourself. Paying someone to find this for you would also prove quite futile, look within your own history.
