Things that can Destroy your Motivation
1. Not having goals. You canât reach your goals if you donât know what they are.
2. Choosing goals that donât inspire you. You wonât be able to keep on going if the prize at the end doesnât really matter to you.
3. Expecting immediate results. Anything worthwhile is a battle and a struggle. It takes times and effort to bring about a change.
4. Lack of support. We all need someone to believe in us and to be our cheerleader when we start to feel discouraged.
5. Not believing in yourself. As Henry Ford so wisely said: âWhether you think you can, or you think you canât, youâre right.â
6. Feeling bored. Most success involves a lot of humdrum work, and repeatedly doing the same kind of stuff. But each day brings you closer to achieving what you want.
7. Inaction and laziness. You have to work the plan before the plan will work ⌠and dreams are only dream till you turn your thoughts to actions. Also, itâs crucially important that you manage your time well, and you donât get distracted or procrastinate.
8. Being around negative people. There are plenty of people who only see the flaws, and whose eyes are on the problems, and the absence of solutions. If you hang out with them, you will lose your zest and passion, and your positive outlook will soon be undermined.
9. Comparing yourself to others. We each are individuals, and we start from different places; we all face our challenges, and work at different rates. Remember âitâs your journeyâ. Be patient with yourself.
10. Encountering setbacks. No matter how great your plans, or your level of commitment, youâre bound to face some setbacks and encounter obstacles. Thatâs a normal part of growth â just keep going when lifeâs tough.
