the strength needed to succeed is in your heart

motivation for success

I'm sure you've heard the saying that "motivation is what gets you started, but it's what keeps you going." That's true for me, and I'd like to share why. I've always known that if I want something badly enough, then there's no reason why I can't accomplish it. But how do we get ourselves motivated to achieve our goals? The secret lies within understanding how motivation works and using it in your everyday life!

Define your goals.

It's important to have clearly defined goals and a plan of action if you want to succeed in life. If you don't know what success looks like, how can you achieve it? Write down your goals on paper, then make sure they are realistic by looking at them from different angles (i.e., financial, social and so on). It's also important that what is written down matches up with who we are as people--that means we need to think about our values before writing down anything else!

Determine the steps you need to take to reach those goals

First, determine the steps you need to take to reach those goals. The idea here is not just "make a list" but also making sure that each step is realistic and achievable for your time constraints. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all of the things on the list, it might be helpful to break down some of the tasks into smaller chunks so that they seem more manageable.

In addition to writing down your goals and steps, make sure these are measurable in some way--this will help keep yourself focused on what's important while also enabling others (like coaches) who can gauge whether or not they're helping you reach your goals as planned!

Identify your motivation for reaching that goal

Once you've identified your motivation for reaching that goal, it's time to start thinking about how you want to get there. What does success look like for you? Will it mean:

Being able to do what I love (and make money from doing so)

Being able to give back in some way

Helping other people reach their goals

Create a plan for achieving your goals.

Before you can achieve your goals, it's important to create a plan that is realistic and achievable. You should write down your plan so that you can see it, make sure that the steps are specific, measurable and time-bound (SMART), break them into smaller steps if possible and use a calendar to track your progress.

Take action toward reaching your goals.

To reach your goals, you have to take action. You don't have time or energy to waste on things that aren't going to help you reach them.

So if you've got a goal, make sure it's one that will get you closer to achieving it! Don't let anything get in the way--you'll need all the motivation and drive that comes from reaching your goal. When things get hard and frustrating (and they will), remember: persistence pays off big time!

You can be successful with the same amount of motivation no matter what your situation is

You can be successful with the same amount of motivation no matter what your situation is.

Let's say you're working at a fast-food restaurant, and your goal is to make enough money to buy a house. You have no idea how much money it will take, but if you set goals for yourself and take action steps, then even if the goal is out of reach now--even if it takes a year or two or three--you will still accomplish it because of how much effort and thought went into achieving these goals. You'll be able to see all your hard work pay off in the end when they finally arrive!

Conclusion

So you want to be successful. You want to be happy in your life, but you don't know where to start. Maybe you're not even sure what success actually looks like. In this article we'll explore the key components of motivation and how they can help guide your journey toward achieving success at work and beyond.
