GUIDELINES TO MOTIVATING YOURSELF TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL

One of the biggest challenges in achieving any goal is finding motivation and sticking to it.

Henry Ford has this to say, "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal".

Motivation is the key to achieving any goal

but finding that motivation and sticking to it, day in and day out, is not easy.

What Motivation can Achieve When motivated.

A man can achieve absolutely anything he desires so long as he/she can focus on the goal, for example, losing weight, completing a book,eliminating debt, starting a successful

blog, becoming more productive, and much more, can be achieved only through the right

motivation and sticking to it.

How does motivation work?

First, before we go into specific methods, let's define, how motivation works, what it does, and what it is.

Motivation is what drives you towards a

goal, what keeps you going when things get tough, the reason you do the things you do, like waking up early, or working late to finish a project.

There are several kinds of motivation, POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. For example, having your boss fire you is motivation - you'll likely work harder to

complete a project under this kind of pressure, but that kind of motivation is likely not as good as the positive motivation, for which if you really

want to get something done, you do it with more passion than avoiding something you don't want (such as being fired).

The best motivation, is a way for you to really want something, to be excited about it, to be passionate about it.

Remember that, as there are many other types of motivation (especially *NEGATIVE*), but to be honest, this is the kind that works best.

There is only so long that you can go trying

to motivate yourself to do something you really don't want to do, but if you find a way to really want to do something, you can sustain your effort for much, much longer.
