Hard times are mile markers on the road to a life of fulfillment and achievement. The toughest of these markers to deal with tends to be motivation.
The following 5 helpful steps are in no particular order. They’re intended to boost your motivation and drive to reach your goals.
When you set out toward your goal you have an ideas of why you’re doing it. But as you do the work you may start questioning this why.
And there WILL be days in which you feel less motivated than others. Keep the why in front of you so you can get up from your falls and keep pushing.
Extreme motivation can cause you to put your head down and work like a maniac. Sometimes this mindset helps you.
But you’ve goy to keep some sense of direction. Big goals rarely consist of point A and point B.
Instead, keep in mind a general outline of each step toward your destination. So yes, keeping your nose to the “grindstone” is good.
But looking up every now and then to adjust your direction helps, too.
If you don’t enjoy small successes in pursuit of your target you’ll run out of gas before you get there. Enjoy your journey.
Take some time to reward yourself when you pass one of the (often many) small steps along the way.
This step is especially important. Your goals are YOUR goals. Letting other people’s pursuits dictate what you strive for is a slippery slope.
If you want to make a comparisons make it to the person you were the day before.
Consider this: your target goal likely involves only one facet of your life. And your life must not stop while you pursue it.
Your motivation and energy will focus on the biggest victory you’re after. This is true whether this goal is career, athletic or more personal,
In any case make sure you honor all facets of your life that will get you there. Balance is always key.
Don’t let the rest of your life fall to the wayside while you chase one dream!

If you have difficulty trusting yourself, you may be too dependent on others. The situation can grow and you become dependent on more and more people.
GenuLines knows that can present problems when called upon to handle situations on your own, so read for some helpful ideas.
Have you ever let someone else take over a part of your job? You may feel relief when this happens.
But you could be setting yourself up for future failure. The reason this happens is that you didn’t trust that you could do the job yourself.
In the above scenario, you’re taking on something outside of your comfort zone. It may be that your boss wants to test how you will handle a new situation.
He or she gives you an assignment knowing that you have never dealt with it before.
It’s natural to ask others for help when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. There’s nothing wrong with doing this.
But there’s little growth in letting others solve problems for you. You won’t develop the self-trust for handling new situations.
And your manager will see that you, for the most part, passed the assignment to someone else.
Positivity helps
Face your new challenges with positivity. Be willing to make an attempt even if you make mistakes.
The mistakes are the tools for you to learn. When you do make those mistakes, ask what you did wrong.
Over time, those mistakes will get less and less, and you’ll begin to trust that you can handle the situations.
There’s a subtle result of trying something new. You’ll prove that you can handle new tasks and develop new skills.
That’s enlightening and it’s a big factor in developing trust in yourself.
Every skill you are now good at and find easy you probably struggled with at the start. If you keep this in mind, you will give yourself over to trusting that you can handle anything that comes your way.
You’ll need less reliance on others. But you still should ask questions when you are unsure about something.
That’s another part of learning.
Some people may give you a hard time because it’s inconvenient. But, you’ll find most people want to help you succeed.
It helps them when you get up to speed with new skills.
