Motivation is not an accident or something that someone else can give you. You are the only one with the power to motivate you.
Motivation cannot be an external force, it must come from within as the natural product of your desire to achieve something and your belief that you are capable to succeed at your goal.
We know this in our intuitive, but what can we do about it? How can we motivate ourselves? One of the most difficult aspects of achieving success is staying motivated throughout your life.
It’s indeed one of the basic yet significant components in anybody’s life to be successful, happy, staying fit and healthy.
Most of the people claim that they are de-motivated because of the failures in their endeavours, physical or mental discomforts or due to other external situations that are not in favour of them. Nonetheless, these temporal and small hurdles can be overcome by being self-motivated.
In Augustine’s words “Motivation will almost always beat mere talent”, if you look at history you know it is true.
There are many people in the world with amazing talents who realize only a small percentage of their potential having a negligible degree of motivation. Therefore, its indispensable for everyone to nurture the habits that help to boost the motivation.
Here are some Powerful tips that can help you to stay motivated and to lead exceptional life:
1. Live in the Present – Living in the present moment keeps your motivation levels always up. Often our minds are preoccupied with multiple things, none of which is occurring right now. This loots our joy by not allowing to enjoy those small beautiful things that happen around us in day-day life.

Don’t dwell on failure; just accept it as a human incidence and continue working towards your goals and ambitions to lead the most fulfilling life that you have cherished.
9. Positive Self-Talk – As they say, “what you think that you become.” It’s also very true that what you speak repeatedly also manifests into reality. Hope for best and ready for the worst by practising the positive self-talk.
Thus said, I’ll leave you with this final motivating quote to reflect and push your own limits to succeed – “What drives me? The thing that drives me most is the desire to find my limits–and extend them.”
