Stay Motivated - Is Willing to Work Difficultly

Quotes of motivational sayings are plentiful on the internet and in books, magazines, and even newspapers. I know that I would sit in a car and read a page or two each day just because I wanted to be "infected" with the "motivational" spirit and mindset that these quotes speak so highly about. As we get older, our quotes become a bit more directed and some of them are a bit sad, as well. We don't really want to hear them, but sometimes we need a reminder from time to time.


You have to be willing to work really hard if you want to achieve your goals. You can't expect to just flit from one thing to another. If you're going to be successful, you've got to be willing to make yourself go. Not everything is going to be that hard, but at least you have to, at least, be willing to work hard if you want to achieve success in life.

The quote above is about persistence. Persistence is the key to becoming successful in anything. In school, you're forced to learn in certain ways. You're given a course of study; you're required to take it. In order to do well in school, you're compelled to do your best and to persevere.

Most people aren't motivated in the same way in their everyday lives. They're given guidelines to follow, rules to follow, and goals to meet. There's nothing wrong with following these guidelines, and there's nothing wrong with setting goals. However, for most people, these ideas are new and foreign. They're unfamiliar territory.

We all need to be motivated. There's no way around it. If you're unmotivated, you'll fall behind. If you try to go at something that you're not sure about, you might get discouraged quickly. When things start to get tough, and you don't know what to do anymore, it's usually because you're not motivated enough to keep going.

It's really hard to do the hard work when you're not motivated. It takes more energy. It requires more of your time. When you're not able to focus on your work and you don't know what to do anymore, you just give up.

If you find yourself in this position sometimes, you should consider giving it your best shot. Don't let life pass you by. Put something positive into action. Take your mind off the hard times. Make a plan and follow it. If you're motivated enough, you can overcome anything.

The best thing that you can do right now to motivate yourself to stay on track is to start looking for something to do outside of your home. Get away for a few days and do something that doesn't require a lot of effort. It could be something simple like taking a cruise. It could be going to a spa. Whatever it is that you decide to do, just do it.

To motivate yourself further, remember to always reward yourself. Give yourself points every single day. This will make you want to work even harder because you'll get some sense of gratification from doing something well.

Another thing that you can do to stay motivated is to know that you can do whatever you put your mind to. I know it sounds cliche, but it's true. You have the power to do anything. If you can dream it, you can achieve it. Remember that.

If you are having a tough time finding something in your life that you want to do, consider volunteering to help others. There are many places that offer free volunteer hours. Look into them and fill out an application to see if you can spend some time working with a charity or other organization. If you do a good job, maybe they might hire you to work at their facility full-time once you finish your education.


The key to being able to stay motivated is to always give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Be willing to work hard and be persistent. Try new things. The more comfortable you feel with what you're doing, the more likely you will be able to push yourself farther. The bottom line is that if you're willing to put in the effort, there will definitely be a way for you to succeed. Whether you're willing to be stubborn about it or find creative ways to motivate yourself, staying motivated will be one of the biggest hurdles you face in life, but it can be overcome.
