Motivation practice. One little daily activity that will keep a fire burning inside of you so you can reach your goals
Motivation is an indispensable component of success and achievement, as well as overall happy living.
Without it, success is nothing more than a dream or a wish, and it will never be attainable until the burning desire of motivation has been developed.
But motivation is also required throughout the course of the attainment of your goals.
Many people quit at the first sign of difficulty, obstacles, or minor setbacks.
It is critical to keep motivated even when things are not going your way.
I want to share 5 powerful motivation practices from The Magic of Thinking Big by Dr. David Schwartz.
The difference between success and failure is found in one’s attitudes toward setbacks, handicaps, discouragements, and other disappointing situations.
Five guide posts to help you turn defeat into victory are:
#1- study setbacks to pave your way to success. When you lose, learn, and then go on to win next time.
#2- have the courage to be your own constructive critic. Seek out your faults and weaknesses and then correct them. This makes you a professional.
#3- stop blaming luck. Research each setback. Find out what went wrong. Remember, blaming luck never got anyone where he wanted to go.
#4- blend persistence with experimentation. Stay with your goal but don't beat your head against a stone wall. Try new approaches. Experiment.
#5- remember, there is a good side in every situation. Find it. See the good side and whip discouragement.
It has been stated by almost all highly successful people in all areas of life that one of the most indispensible traits that got them to the pinnacle was persistence.
Setbacks and obstacles are inevitable, but it is how you choose to react to them that will create the environment for your own failure or your greatest success.
