The reasons for not recognizing this lie in the basic ways we humans function psychologically<\/strong> \u2013 we try to find blame in others, we try to convince ourselves that what we want is impossible when it is in fact not impossible.<\/p>\nCases in which others have caused us to have low self-esteem are not rare either \u2013 sometimes the lack of motivation may be due to childhood trauma, abusive parenting, or simply parents which were too demanding of their children only to realize that has no use.<\/p>\n
Whatever the case \u2013 one should first deal with that before trying to get to their dreams and goals<\/span>.<\/p>\nHere are some tips to get yourself a motivation makeover and get you willing to pursue that dusted dream of yours.<\/h3>\n1. Define Your Goal Clearly.<\/h4>\n How can you expect to reach a place if you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going?\u00a0In order to be sure you\u2019ll get the necessary motivation and determination to achieve your goals, you must first define them specifically and know exactly what you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n
2. Envision the End Result.<\/h4>\n Imagine yourself sitting in a room entirely different from the one you\u2019re in right now.\u00a0What\u2019s so different?\u00a0In this imaginary room, you have made your dream come true! So, what does it look like<\/strong>?\u00a0More importantly, what\u00a0do you look like in it? How do you feel?<\/p>\nThese things, albeit small, are essential to motivate you<\/strong>. For example, a young programming student might envision the board of directors of his future multi-million dollar company, with him on top of the chain of command.<\/p>\nAn aspiring artist might imagine standing in a gala opening or exhibition of his works. It differs from person to person<\/span>, but in the end, this is a very efficient way to drive you to your goals, to get you all inspired and motivated.<\/p>\n3. Even a Great Journey Starts With a Single Step.<\/h4>\n And continues with lots of smaller steps. Countless smaller steps, which you will have to make.\u00a0This will seem depressing to some, but it\u2019s actually a very good thing for your overall motivation. By breaking down a larger problem into many smaller ones, you\u2019re basically doing \u201cdivide and conquer<\/em>\u201d, an old but gold military tactic used for your own goal<\/span>.<\/p>\nNot only that \u2013 you can track progress on a smaller scale, and that will keep you wanting to do more.\u00a0It will become like a game \u2013 once you finish one quest or task, another one comes, and your imaginary \u201cexperience points<\/em>\u201d go up.<\/p>\nThink of it this way, and you\u2019ll make even the most tedious tasks bearable.<\/p>\n
4. Don\u2019t Quit on the First Difficulty \u2013 Laugh in Its Face and Continue.<\/h4>\n No progress is ever made without mistakes, and no larger task is ever achieved without one complication.\u00a0So you need to be ready, you need to have a mental image of yourself as a relentless, lunatic conqueror. Where a problem comes your way, you need to have the determination to go around it to accomplish your goal<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSo basically what it boils down to is not to get gravely upset, and to celebrate every success \u2013 even the minor ones.<\/p>\n
5. Put Yourself on Schedule.<\/h4>\n No matter how much you might hate schedules and deadlines, they\u2019re there for a reason \u2013 because they increase productivity.\u00a0Now, if there\u2019s no one to track your progress and push you in a time-frame, you must do it yourself, otherwise<\/span>, you\u2019ll hardly get anything done.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/strong><\/p>\nThese are the core essentials, and with them, many smaller realizations will come.\u00a0By undertaking the journey to your dreams, you can be sure that when the day comes for you to leave this world, you\u2019ll hardly have any regrets.\u00a0Good luck and keep going!<\/p>\n
