Motivation is having a strong reason and a strong desire to do something.
when you find a reason to do something, you can focus on the results and the benefits they bring to your life rather than the challenges you have to face to achieve those results. Motivation keeps away procrastination which is another big enemy of success.
According to Benjamin Franklin, your net worth is determined by "what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones".
Successful people identify negative habits and replace them with good ones, they understand that motivation is not something they achieve once and for all, but a process of continually refocusing their efforts, of developing new habits to counter those that can be harmful to their success.
If you spend all your time on the things you “like” to do, then the things you “need” to do will be left unattended and that can create a very BIG hole in your life where every other thing can drop through and disappear.
Many people have failed to achieve their dreams because they have waited all their lives for the perfect moment: the man with an untold story, the musician who never composed a song, the speaker who never made any speech, the writer who never wrote his first book.
A man with a purpose always thinks that every day, every activity, everything he does, has meaning because it brings him or her closer to his or her ultimate goal.
start by looking at each day as an opportunity to start over again. EVERY DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING AND ONE MORE CHANCE TO ENJOY LIFE AND GET A STEP CLOSER TO OUR DREAMS.
“We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”
Trust in Yourself Even If the Whole World Doesn’t Believe in You.
There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. –Aristotle
