Let success motivate you. Find a picture of what epitomizes success to you and then pull it out when you are in need of motivation.
Do it today. Remind yourself of someone you know who died suddenly and the fact that there is no guarantee that tomorrow will come.
Make a list of your achievements toward your long-term goal and remind yourself that intentions don’t count, only action’s.
Positive pleasure-oriented goals are much more powerful motivators than negative fear-based ones. Although each is successful separately, the right combination of both is the most powerful motivational force known to humankind.
Motivation is not an accident or something that someone else can give you — you are the only one with the power to motivate you. Motivation cannot be an external force, it must come from within as the natural product.
