Motivation is not just a hot buzz word that is
bandied around by pedagogues! To be a superstar,
each of us must aim to remain motivated and make
serious attempts to retain it. Staying motivated is
simple when you use these steps.
Have faith in yourself and like yourself.
Like every good thing in life, the initiation is always
with YOU! Remember that your life starts and
revolves around you, your faith, and your
involvement. On a broader perspective, if everyone
has faith in his or her own self the results will be
pleasing. This is possible only when you like yourself
and the way you accomplish deeds.
Set rational, inspirational and quantifiable goals
that challenge you.
You must have seen the TV advertisement that shows
a boy aiming to be a tennis player and later he
realizes that his talent lay in playing cricket. This boy
turns out to be Dhoni! Now that is an example of
rationalizing your target. Performance, if it isn't
measurable and based on reality, can tend to give
impressions that may not give you the fastest and
surest progression.
Create a vision for your goals.
Create a mental picture of yourself as reaching each
N

meaningful discussions, and
remain focused! Each of these
steps will also exist as an image
within you and reinforce and
strengthen your desire to fulfill
your goal.
When you feel overwhelmed, focus on your goals in
solitude.
Recall the mental picture of your goal again and
again. Write out your goals again. Writing is very
powerful and helps you re-align yourself to your
aspired aim. It helps you clarify and embrace your
goals. Remember what's really important to you and
why you want it.
The feeling of overwhelm is caused by lack of
decision. Putting off making decisions affects your
ability to stay motivated. So start making decisions.
Remember that feeling overwhelmed by any situation
is because of procrastination in decision-making and

will generally retard your progression towards your
aspired goal.
Identify a plan and develop action steps.
Goals and aims remain mere abstractions in the
absence of a concrete plan! Stay in action daily
moving forward towards achieving your goal. Do
something every day to keep the momentum going.
Think positive! This movement has to be in the real
world, which is based on the identification of a
tangible and viable plan. Remember that plans are
successful only if they are made up of small,
achievable steps.
Let learning be a continuous process.
Read books, articles, listen to tapes or watch movies
to build new learning around your goal. New learning
brings you to insights which are very powerful. All
those happy chemicals- adrenaline and serotonin are
stimulated and rush to your brain filling it with
excitement and motivation. The key to success and
motivation is continuous learning and reaching new
insights. This is exhilarating plus its good exercise for
your brain.
Seek the support you need.
Identify resources that will help
you reach your goal and achieve
success. Ask for support when
you need it. Celebrate each
accomplishment as it is
important to stay motivated.
Search for mentors who
have both time and
inclination for involved
discussions that are
based on intelligent
expertise. Search for
mentors who can really help you
get to your dreams!
To conclude, it must be said that reading is beneficial
once a certain degree of implementation is initiated.
How soon 'not now' becomes 'never' is what every
aspirant must be careful about. Every
accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Don't
wait until everything is just right. It will never be
perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles
and less than perfect conditions. So what! Get
started NOW! With each step you take, you will grow
stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more
and more self-confident and more and more
successful. Start now, practice these steps and you
will be amazed at the results. Have fun and good
luck.
