Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W3: A little bit of motivation can go a long way

_{edited on pixellab app}

Most of us can identify the importance of motivation in our lives. There are things we never wanted to do but got to do them because we got motivation from others or we motivate ourselves. I believe motivation is important. The motivational quote I chose for this post of that of Olaf from Frozen and The Blu Fairy from Pinocchio.

I picked this statement because it's true. There are actually some people worth melting for. There are people who impact our lives so much that we hold them at high esteem. There are some people we love so much that we find them worth the sacrifices we make for them. I choose to use the word sacrifice because the word melting sounds like dying but I don't see it as such. I see the word melting in the statement as sacrifice.

So the meaning of these words for me is that there are people who are worth our sacrifices. It could be your mother, father, brother or sister, spouse, child, friend or even a total stranger. There are worth your sacrifice because maybe you love them, maybe they impact your life directly or indirectly or it's their lifestyle you like. You feel like the world needs more people like them.

I chose this second statement because it's speaks to me directly. In everything I do in life I always try to be guided with my conscience. I think these words mean that "do unto others what you want them to do to you". Looking at it deeper it talks about how we treat others and live our lives.

Before we do something we should think about switching places with the person it will affect so that we can imagine how it'll feel it it were us. As a business woman I always say "don't sell what you cannot consume". In other words don't decieve people with goods that even you can't use or consume. Let's use our conscience to judge everything we do.

The statement a little bit of motivation can go a long way is very very true. There are moments when we want to give up and just be like I can't do it. At those times that we are about to give up on something big or important. A little bit of motivation might just be able to wake us up and see how important what we want to let go is.

There's this one statement that someone can say to you to motivate and it changes your entire life forever. You can even be watching a motivational video or movie and be like I want to be like that person. This person motivates me, and that's when things start to change for the better. There no small motivation, even just a sentence of motivation can change your life. So I support the statement that a little bit of motivation can go a long way.

As a human, there are always times of weakness and struggle. It's how we pep talk ourselves out of that cage in our minds, it's how friends and family pat your shoulder and say you can do it that brings you our of some situations. As a person I'm always self motivated or motivated by others.

I always tell myself you can do it!! Just start! I say these to myself everyday as I wake up and face the day. If I feel down I remind myself how awesome I am and how I have tacked bigger things.

Sometimes I might reach out to a friend and be like my motivation is not enough. Please tell me something to boost my zeal. Hearing the things you are scared to admit to yourself from another person is a real booster.

Motivation is important to me because there's alot I have given up and alot I have started because of self motivation and motivation from others. The world isn't easy to live in so sometimes we need that extra push to get back on our feet and try again.

1. One of my close friends was facing a problem with school. What she was doing wasn't what she wanted to do. She was scared of what her parents will say and moreover she was scared of starting over. She reached out to me and I told her there's no time to start over like the present. Start over as much as you can till you are able to find what you love and settle for it. Your parents love you and they will understand.

Well my motivation helped and she started over and took a different course. She's happy and doing what she loves.

1. I had this other friend who wanted to start up a business. She was afraid she wasn't good enough. She was scared her marketing skills weren't good enough. She was terrified of trying and failing. I told her that she'll never know if you can succeed until she tries. Don't live life thinking what if? Just do it!

She took my words and started. I am proud to say that her business is still up and running up till now.

I'm happy my friends took my motivation on these tow occasions. It feels good to be part of the success story.

So my usual habits that I've been using to motivate myself are things like listening to music, talking myself and reading my Bible.
I've found new ways of increasing my motivation like running and doing yoga. Anytime I feel like I need air I go running, anytime I feel like I need silence I start my yoga.

These two things have proven very effective for me when I want to motivate myself not to give up on a situation.

I'll conclude by sharing my most famous motivational quote. I tell it to myself all the time. "If you can see it then believe it". For me it means if you want something and you can picture yourself getting it, then believe you can get it. All that is to say... NEVER GIVE UP! KEEP MOTIVATING YOURSELF.

I invite @graceleon @b-naj @gimbia @patjewell and @ijebest to join this contest.
