Persistence and power of the first step
To make the first step towards achieving a goal, anyone can but have persistence and persevere to the end of achieving the goal, hardly any person succeeds in life. Some people have no choice and postpone the goal due to some unforeseen situations that have created a strong obstacle to the goal, while others have no justification for postponing their goals. What is the secret of the success of a person who, even when it is difficult, gives his best in order to persevere and complete his tasks. Does the ability for a person to remain persistent to the end make a difference between a successful and unsuccessful person? Do we give motivation too much importance, whether motivation drives action or can the opposite if action evokes motivation. Motivation is most pronounced at the beginning, when everything seems new and exciting to us. However, there are days when we have no motivation, and those days are key because it is very important to stay focused, have a goal and move in the right direction towards the fulfillment of our dreams. It’s easiest to take the first step, but how to keep on the right track when it’s the hardest? Today, in this article, we write on the topic of how to persevere when we have no motivation and desire to remain persistent towards achieving our goals.
Action against motivation
The biggest obstacle that a person must overcome is that he fights laziness with action, that he gets up from a comfortable bed or couch to do tasks, whether it is reading a book, working on a project, socializing, training, or any other example in which he would was productive. When you feel that you are lacking energy to move, know that the first step you take towards performing a task is exactly that driving energy that you lack. Sometimes even the smallest first step we take can bring a strong wind at our backs and cause a wave of motivation, whether it is opening a book and even picking up a pencil in our hands. Try to read the first page of the book, the second page will already be easier to read because we have already intrigued the brain to do a task, instead of staring at the mobile phone screen and endlessly scrolling through social networks that do not bring us anything important. Infinite hiding just takes our time and we just lose focus. Research conducted by the magazineComputers in Human Behavior“It revealed that students who often use social networks during lectures have worse grades on tests. When we start with the first step, we will feel the inner satisfaction that will continue to push us in the right direction.
The myth of constant motivation
How many times have you thought that a successful person gained his success overnight and that everything he does in his life has maximum motivation and that everything goes well for him. That thought is wrong, because even successful people have weak moments, those moments when they are not motivated, those moments when they do not want to leave their comfort zone, but again in the end, each person has to fight against those weak moments. Every person should be aware that the delay in current comfort is the key to achieving greater success and happiness in the future. You have to find out what your purpose is, and to bond tightly to it, even in difficult moments and in moments when you have a lack of motivation, it is very important that you maintain positive thoughts and purpose towards fulfilling your goals. Think often about your goal, about the path that leads you to success, about the reward that comes after the goal, think about what moves and motivates you.
system as a driver
It is very important to create a system and a plan for achieving the goal, because motivation and will without a real plan are not enough, because how many times have we relied on will and motivation and in the end gave up on our plans. The system is nothing but a pre-planned and designed set of habits and daily routines that lead us to perform some tasks and instead of bothering the brain with questions about whether to do something or not, the predefined system and habits force us to do it. If we have the desire to read a book every day, we change the habit of not reading by putting the book in a visible place, which will ‘stitch’ us in the eyes, to a place that will call us to carry out reading and that will become a daily routine. In this way, it becomes part of the rhythm of life and the system leads us to perform work tasks without thinking much about whether we should finish them or not, it also leads us to fulfill our goals without waiting for the motivation to encourage us to perform. Also, try to make a system to limit you from unhealthy habits, because the fewer obstacles you have in life, the more time you will have to achieve positive habits.
Emotions and discipline
Every person on a daily level experiences emotions, whether they are positive or negative, they have a great influence on our behavior and our decisions in life. It is very important that a person learns to control his emotions, and that he does not allow emotions to make decisions in his life because often our emotions can spoil our plans in life, they can often push us from the right path to success, often because of emotions we forget about our obligations and positive habits. It is also important to learn to recognize emotions and use them in a positive sense, it is important to tell myself that I am not doing what I am doing, but what leads to my final goal. Imagine yourself in a situation where every morning you go out for a morning walk, one morning you wake up listless or tired, at that moment you have two options left to stay in bed or listen to your daily routine and the system you created. Successful people are not those who are constantly motivated, but those who perform their predefined system, their daily habits, those who do what they need to do even when they are not done. Try to be a person like them.
Challenges as opportunities
A person learns a lot from difficult situations and failures, because when a person overcomes failure, he increases his character and self-confidence increases. The challenges we experience must be understood as an opportunity to learn something new and to strengthen our psychological state. Resistance and self-confidence as a trait a person does not gain at birth, but through his life and experience, every time we overcome and survive a difficult situation, we build the foundation for our self-confidence. Let every future challenge we encounter be a reminder that we survived the same and all the challenges before it, and when we overcome it that we will be a stronger person, that we will have even greater self-confidence and that our self-confidence will increase. Let that thinking lead you to the life you dream about.
Conclusion
Although motivation is not with us every day, and if we cannot control it, our daily routine and our choices have an influence towards the execution of the ultimate goal. In the end, what makes the difference between success and failure is not only motivation and talent, but persistence, desire for success, work, persistence and the ability to act even when we do not feel motivated. The path to success is not easy, there will be days when everything will look difficult and that everyone will be against you, it is precisely in those moments that it is very important to remain persistent and never forget about your goal and success. In those moments, we build our character and self-confidence. Don’t wait for motivation and perfect circumstances to coincide, you have to start right now and now, set up a system to guide you even in difficult times. Believe in the process, live for the process and do not allow your emotions and failures to force you to give up, you are the one who chooses and makes decisions for a better tomorrow. the end.
