We all have a unique personality and character. The way we think, react, do things and the way we solve our problems in life are far different from another person. That’s why we should never compare ourselves to other people. The result of the things we do in life (positive or negative) is related to how we think and react in every situation. How do you keep yourself being motivated? Are you the person who have a positive outlook in life? Or the one who easily lose hope? If you have a goal or a dream in life that you want to achieve, you have to help yourself.

Consider these tips below:

• Set your goals- small goals first and stay focused. Be sure to set a realistic and achievable one. When you’re able to achieve this goal, your experience in handling every situation will be broadened and will encourage you to do more.
• Visualize the outcome you want to achieve- this will inspire you to do your best.
• Surround yourself with happy and motivated people. Those who will encourage you rather than discouraging every decision you make, those who gives good advices, those who are happy with every achievement you make (small or big) and those who never leave you whenever you’re in the lowest point of life. Avoid mingling to negative people because you may adapt their attitude and as a result, you will experience difficulty in achieving your goals.
• Be optimistic, always look at the brighter side of life- for example, if you fail on one goal, you are able to cope with it easily and pursue to do more rather than being depressed or stressed about the result. You choose to move on and learn from your mistakes.
• Don’t forget to feed your body, mind and spirit- (a healthy body can do things appropriately), mind- (read and explore more on topics regarding your goal), spirit (have that spirit of kindness to everyone and most specially to yourself).
• Appreciate small achievements- to honor your capability and motivate you to pursue to bigger goals.
• “When the situation is tough, remember why you have started”. I already heard this to a lot of motivational speakers. It’s a deep thought that we should never give up on any circumstances. If you start a race, you should never give up and stop at the middle, be determined enough to reach up to the finish line. Do not be discouraged because everyone already reached the finish line. You will also get there just trust yourself.
• Read more on motivational posts- to be more inspired to pursue whatever goals you have in mind.
• Always choose to be happy- your physical aura can impact a lot, being cheerful/happy attracts positive thoughts and energy that is essential in reaching your goals.
• Stop negative thinking- this is a big obstacle in achieving what you want.

Always believe in yourself. You may endure a lot of difficulties as you go along towards your goal but if you give your best and never stop dreaming you will get there. Good luck and God bless whatever it is.
