If you really want to stay motivated, make a daily effort to keep your thoughts, conversations and your life filled with positive message, ideas and activity so that there won't be any room for anything but motivation...then be stronger than your excuses!!

Success in life is all about crossing the barrier of your excuses!

    "be stronger than your excuses" <-- Truth.

    Great point, Vikram. I think being in an atmosphere (whether social or work or otherwise) that encourages positivity is a great help in cultivating a positive state of mind.

    When my clients ask me how to be positive, I ask them where and with whom they spend most of their time.

    By keeping busy you wont have much time to become de-motivated. Getting things done is a surefire way of building self esteem and reaching your goals. Do not sit around too long and "Think And Grow Rich", the success part comes when you "Do And Grow Rich". By doing rather than thinking you build momentum and start seeing results which in turn motivates you more and gives you self belief / confidence to carry on.

      Your point of view is well taken. No matter how much you think, but unless you don't act, you cannot get results. And success is all about getting positive results, for which consistent positive actions are mandatory.

      It's true that nobody has grown rich by merely thinking. But nevertheless positive thinking about success is essential to stay motivated and work towards it.

    Well said, origin.

    Paralysis-by-analysis is the surest way to suppressing and eventually losing self-confidence all together. All thought and planning should be paired with relevant and timely action.

    A person who doesn't act on his own plans cannot expect anyone else to have faith in him or his plans.

    An excuse will never help you achieve success. Make a habit of noticing when you begin to make excuses and remember that they won't help you move forward.

    Or completely don't depend on motivation, we are creatures of habit. If you can make it a habit to do what you need to do to achieve your goals, then you will be on the right path to success.

    You have to start looking at the goal ahead and what it would feel like to have completed the task and try to have positive thoughts and stay focused on the prize.
