Serious Motivation

If you want something bad enough, you can likely have it. But how do you get motivated enough to really take focused and consistent action?

First, write down your goal and list as many reasons as possible why you want to achieve it. Be brutally honest with yourself. If you are sick and tired of the status quo, write down the reasons why. Remind yourself of why you want to achieve this goal. This goal could be to get out of debt, to lose weight, to quit a bad habit, or to finish your degree. The philosopher, Nietzsche, said that a person can achieve any “how” if they have enough “why”. This is largely true.

Second, write down all the positive reasons why you will be happier after this goal is achieved. Keep these two lists and read them every day. Visualize life after your goal has been reached, and really feel the emotions associated with your goal, and the sights and sounds that go with it. Visualize people talking to you about your achievement.

You must be certain there are no inner conflicts in your mind about achieving your goal. You must decide to completely cut off negative influences and thoughts that can hold you back, like negative friends, etc.

Third, create a plan to achieve this goal. List items such as: what will you have to learn to achieve your goal, what obstacles do you face, when your goal must be reached by; concisely restate your current status as it pertains to your goal, who will help, and list the steps to achieve your goal.

Fourth, take action every day on your goal. Do as much as you can to help you with your goal each day, including: reviewing your reasons why you want your achievement, visualizing, seeking proper help, maintaining positive self talk, doing the work you need to do, engaging in intense workouts, and being wary of slipping back into debt, bad habits, etc. A good councilor could be a great help.

Fifth, associate with good and positive people with similar goals, beliefs, or people who have done what you intend to do. If you are serious about your goal, getting around the right people will be a boon to your success.
