Habits of Highly Motivated People

Successfacilitator · 08-06-2009, 10:16 AM

I am certain that its no just enough to talk about motivation and motivated people. I am sure we all go through different challeges but it evident that some are motivated to do what they need to do to achieve their objectives while others are not. I want believe that there are certain positive habits that the highly motivated have developed that keeps them motivated through it all. One habit that readily come to mind is the habit of taking it a day at a time. Please, could you share your thoughts on this. Thanks

I read motivational quotes at night before I go to bed and, if I need a lift in the morning, again over breakfast. It sounds trite, but sometimes it's just what I need to get started.

I come here as well as a few other forums often and just by reading how many other people have sucess in what they do makes me motivated to get my business going. I think I get 90% of my motivation from marketing forums

No matter what walk of life they come from, people who are motivated to achieve success share certain traits.

They set their goals high and are always reaching for the top.

They have the confidence to step out of their comfort zone to try new ideas or strategies.

They take part in their organizations, in their families and in their communities.

They’re willing to jump in and take things on — and have the mental energy necessary to get it done.

They’re not afraid to admit they don’t know it all. They’re eager to keep growing.

They know their stuff and are always in the process of learning more.

They act as if it were impossible for them to fail, as if their success is a done deal.

They never give up until they succeed, but they’re willing to try a variety of options to get what they want rather than to keep hitting their head against the same brick wall.

They work hard to take care of themselves physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and socially.

They rise above the small stuff to achieve greatness in their lives.

Interesting title. Ok - here are my 7 habits of highly Motivated People (with deference to Stephen Covey).

1. You can easily stay motivated when you are doing what you love, so do what you love to do.

2. Know what you want - the number #1 success secret. If you don't know, you won't get it, but if you do know, you have a great chance of making your dreams come true.

3. Get your priorities straight. Work when you work; play when you play and give these things your full attention when you are engaged in them.

4. Try to think of others in everything you do; not at the expense of your own interests, but remember that other people may not see things the way you do.

5. Listen to other people with respect. Simpy become a great listener and you will also become a great friend, father, mother, brother, sister etc.

6. Find time to be still and silent. That's when you are most in touch with the limitless energy and creativity of the universe.

7. Look after yourself. Exercise. Stay fit and healthy. Don't eat or drink too much. Read to feed your mind with good-stuff. And always be thankful for the blessings that surround you every day of your life.

I think one of the key habits is having a strong passion for the goal you're pursuing and an attitude that never gives up..

Being humble and not egoistic is also key to being motivated.

I think aside from having clear goals, a lot of success comes down to just setting up the right habits and building up momentum. When you adopt successful habits into your day to day routine, and if you stick with them, it eventually becomes easier to keep doing them than to stop (especially once you start seeing results).

Peter Temp · 08-28-2009, 11:04 AM

There are many things that could keep an individual motivated, the most important thing that keeps you motivated is the result. Humans always seek result and this keeps everyone motivated. I got some good points to stay motivated from the book "seven habits of effective people" by Stephen Covey. Thanks must read.

I think taking it one day at a time is very important.

It reminds me of that ol' joke:

How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time.

Kinda corny, but get's the point across...
