50 Motivational Quotes and 7 Tips to get you Motivated
No matter what your goals in life are, you are not going to accomplish them if you are not motivated to. In every task you set out to do, you need to keep that passion and drive throughout the entire process if you want to produce results. You see, everyone has equal opportunities to become a winner in life. It’s not a matter of skill or luck, but hard work and motivation. Yes, you might have it harder than others, you might not have had the easy road they had, but it does not mean you can’t do what they do, or even better, you just have to work harder than them! So, we have provided you with the 7 simplest tips for you to overflow with motivation!
Tip no1: You can’t soar like an eagle when you surround yourself with turkeys
One significant source of motivation is the people that surround us. By hanging around the “winners,” then you start wondering “Hey, if he can do it, then I can/want to do it too.” But when you hang around the “losers,” then you get comfortable, seeing that there are people worse than you, and this is wrong. My point is, choose the people you surround yourself with very closely because they are what will become your source of motivation to either be better, or worse. So, if you’re surrounded with turkeys, then limit that interaction and get around the other eagles, the one that chases their dreams, the ones that have succeeded them and are ready to teach you how to do it yourself.
Tip no2: Build a healthy body, and your mind will follow
Health is the most crucial aspect of your life. Especially if you want that life to be great. I don’t see any obese eagles soaring through the sky. So, build a healthy and strong body, and your mind is sure to follow. Having the willpower and energy to get anything done, starts from your own body. It’s much easier to get your mind to work when your body works.
Tip no3: You can’t soar like an eagle with the mindset of a turkey
Greatness can only be achieved when you believe that you can do it. If you don’t think you can fly, then you will never fly. It is as simple as that. You have to believe that you are destined for greatness, that you are amazing, that you can do it, that the peak of that mountain is within your grasp no matter what anyone says. You see, there is only one you, one today, one now, one life. If you’re not ready, try again, if your abilities are not good enough, hone them. But never lose faith in yourself and always keep trying. If you view yourself as someone helpless, then this is what you will become. So, visualize yourself as that eagle, ripping through the skies without any form of limitation and eventually, you will become that eagle. Until then, don’t stop.
Tip no4: Make your goals your number one priority
No matter how big or small your goals are, you need to make them your top priority and focus on doing them no matter what. You see, the eagle can lock the pray from miles and miles away and lunges straight to it for the kill. That is what you must do. No distractions, no limitations, no negativity and most importantly, not having failure as an option. If you want to do something, do it now, or just never do it.
Tip no5: Success doesn’t come by chance, you have to work for it
You cannot expect to sit around doing nothing all day, and then suddenly you wake up one day having fulfilled all of your desires. If you want to get something done, then you have to work for it. Every single day, every single hour, your entire body and soul should be focusing on things that will be helping you succeed in your goals. You have to make a schedule on how to work as effective as possible. Determine what you need to get where you want to be and go straight at it until you get it. People spend so much time dreaming of success that they end up never working for it. The difference between winners and losers is the endless nights the winners spent honing on their craft while the losers slept.
Tip no6: In a year from now, you will be regretting not having started today
If you keep postponing things, then eventually you will never do them. Think about all of the things you said you will be doing by the time you were 20, 25, 30, maybe even 50, and never got to them and now you wish you had. What ensures you that this won’t be the case for you in 10 years from now. View yourself as a human “becoming,” not a human “being.” Because everything you are, you have first to work for it to become “it” and it’s not something you can do overnight. So don’t procrastinate, don’t postpone your goals, just get out there and achieve them!
Tip no7: There is always light on the other side of the tunnel
I’m not going to lie to you, bad days will come, rainy days will occur, you will meet difficulties, but you have to embrace them because it is that pain that will make you stronger. Success is not an easy road, it’s an uphill and difficult struggle, and it’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward! Embrace your mistakes, learn from them and become a better version of you. Your life will only become better if you become better. Don’t fear the pain, embrace it and let it make you stronger. Don’t fear failure, accept it and learn from it, otherwise, you will never meet success. Most importantly, don’t fear success. You can do it, you can reach it, no matter the cost. If you see an opportunity, grab it, don’t be afraid. If that opportunity doesn’t come, then don’t worry, no matter how dark the night, the daylight will come stronger than ever.
