What Motivation Really Is?
Motivation is literally the desire we have to do things.
It is the difference between you waking up before dawn to get started on a particular project and lazing around the house all day watching TV. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining your goals.
Research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation, but far too often, we fail to do so. Staying motivated can be a real struggle.
When trying to maintain motivation, our drive is constantly assaulted by negative thoughts and anxieties about the future.
Everyone faces doubt and depression at one time or another, and you are no different. What separates the highly successful from those who fail is the ability to stay motivated and keep moving forward.
There are three major reasons people fail to maintain motivation.
I will share with you what are these 3 major failings in my next few posts, so stay tuned!
