Do you constantly need motivation?

Alfonso - you just made my day!
beautifully said.

I feel very much the same. I rarely lose motivation, simply because I know that my body and mind know what is best for me, and that I know where I am going. With the whole amazing possibilities and inner strength I posses- and this aspect is the same for all of us...but so often people forget about their true nature- being unstoppable!

get a good goal- something that is worth spending your time on, that you love doing, and go!

My version of having pictures is creating Slideshows with my personal afformations much like Mind Movies. It really helps to motivated me.

That's great man! Have fun with it. Looking forward to seeing your screensaver, if possible. Hehe. Cheers.


I think the exact line goes something like this, "They say motivation doesn't last. Well neither does bathing. That's why we do it everyday."

But thanks for reminding me of Zig Ziglar's famous line, browse15. You the man!

Motivation is a matter of subjective thinking in each individual.

If you have a successful life, your motivations are of one kind.

If you have had a disastrous life, motivations are other things.

And, if you are in the middle, motivations could be different from the above two.

Adversity has taken a great token in my life.

I have to constantly keep doing things to keep physically, emotionally and mentally up straight. It is a challenge, it is very difficult.

Somethings I know I will never overcome, so I have had to learn to live with that agony.

Other things I might get to improve for the betterment and wellness of my community, friends, neighbors, family and for myself.

Set realistic goals, unrealistic ones discourage and frustrates people, trying to gain the impossible.

Newbies: 95% every year quit online marketing because they don't have the guts to keep going even on adversity. Many arrive at this fighting arena with unrealistic goals, many of them the input of scammers promising heaven in hell.

Get rich quick schemes are the greatest unmotivators that exist.

You have to write down what you want out of life and know that you must strive towards it. Like the movie: Get Rich or Die Trying

In all areas of your life strive for betterment, not perfection.

In reality, you really have to push yourself up and kick yourself to keep going.

It isn't easy if you have low energy.

Ask a friend to help you, pushing you to continue.

Get away from negative people.

Napolean Hill state it great in his book: Think and Grow Rich: specially with his Talent Tank system.

Read it!

Hey dogred. I also love Bob Proctor! He's definitely one of the self-help gurus that I respect because he explains the Law of Attraction artfully. He's been studying it for more than 50 years, no wonder why. Haha.

The first method is instilling a sense of fear in yourself. Since fear is one of the strongest motivators in the human psyche, think about what you could lose if you do not complete the task that you are not motivated to do. For instance, what could happen if you do not get a yearly medical checkup? What is the worse thing that could happen if you do not mow the lawn, wash the dishes, or study for an exam?

The second method is instilling a sense of desire for yourself. I think this is because greed is one of the other great motivators in the human psyche. For instance, if you go to college, then how much more income will you earn? If you start a business, when could you retire? What do you gain if you complete a task or project?

The next method is prioritizing your tasks. List each of your responsibilities on a sheet of paper and then sort them into three categories of "Must get done", "Should be completed", and "Nice to have". If you are like me, then I think you will find that just having a prioritized list of things to do makes me motivated. Otherwise, prioritizing your tasks will give you a greater incentive to complete the more important tasks first and give you a better sense of accomplishment with respects to what is truly important.

Next, reward yourself for each goal that you complete. No matter how short term a difficult goal may have been, a little incentive is sometimes all that people need to start or finish a project that they dread doing.

Finally, develop a support system to stay motivated. This is the same logic as having a workout buddy. Those of us who have someone who count on us are much more motivated with sticking to a schedule. Or just having a spouse or best friend cheering us on is motivation enough.

It's not even about that. The OP is not asking how to motivate people but how do YOU personally motivate yourself. Backlinking again??? Hehe.

I'm really picking on you today, Chris... Haha. Peace!

i need motivation now!! been sluggish all week. motivate me someone. lol

I do agree with you.I myself are surrounded by people who tries to put you down.I want to know and talk to people who are positive about their life.That is what my blog is about.I hope to gather people who are or who needs motivation there.

I motivate myself every time I feel bored or frustrated in many different ways:
- read a self-improvement book.
- read some favorite quotes from great people.
- meet up with my friends.
- listen to music (I prefer rock, don't know why but it lifts me up from the mess)
- watch a film (not a horror film LOL)
- ...

And I have to admit that words have the power to change a person's life Like it did to me not long ago

Books and videos are not an absolute necessity, but you must be doing something on a consistent basis to keep yourself motivated. Otherwise, you're going to inevitably lose your motivation sooner or later.

I do agree with you Bernard.But not all people have the chance to do what they like to do.Especially when they want to change but still unable to get out of their current situation.This is the most difficult stage before achieving what they want.
