Ask yourself What If ?

The most difficult part is to get started. So, start. Action begets motivation - not the other way around.

Let go of perfection. It will paralyze you.

Tell yourself that if you can’t do everything you need to do, you can certainly do 10 minutes. Set a timer. When it goes off, you’re done.

Develop habits. Habits are patterns that create repeated behavior. Action you barely have to think about is orders of magnitude more powerful than motivation.

Develop discipline. Discipline is a regimen that teaches or builds upon a skill. You do it, over and over. You witness yourself developing that muscle - getting better, stronger; the action becoming easier, smoother. Improvement is thrilling.

Find a place or a time where no one can distract you, and where your internal distractions can be deferred. My personal answer to this is early morning. No one bothers me and if I tell myself I really have to do the laundry (or whatever) I can reply “you can do that later.”

Rest. Disconnect. Power down. Do this in short spurts - a walk, a nap, a break - and in long spurts - respect your weekends, your vacations, your sabbaticals.

Take care of yourself. Identify what you need and give it to yourself. Self-care is indispensable. If you believe it’s selfish, you will burn out. Or maybe that’s just me.

Get to know yourself. What motivates you? Are you motivated by achievement? By competence? By people? By Incentives? By attitude? By others? By you? Organize yourself to serve the specific way your motivation seems to respond. Be ready for it to shift. Shift with it.

Love what you do. I find it a lot easier to do something I love than to slog through something I really don’t like or that feels like a waste of my time.

Find meaning or purpose in what you do. Put in other words, figure out why you do it. Purpose is the ultimate driver.

Just remember these three things -

  • If you FAIL, never give up because FAIL means FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING.
  • If you get NO as an answer, remember NO means NEXT OPPORTUNITY.
  • END is not the end, in fact END means "EFFORT NEVER DIES".

No matter what will be the result or where destiny would take me but the lesson that I learned is important to me that "nothing is permanent" and "no one stand beside you in your bad time" except parents.

Now I don't expect anything from anyone and I am totally fine now. Now, like any other person after going through such a circumstances I think that everything happens for a reason and for our own good.

Every mistake is a lesson and every failure is an opportunity.

Don't think of months and years. Even days or weeks. Work for an hour and do it every single hour!

When I was thinking for a long duration, I thought like I have ample time left. And at last, I become frustrated. Then I started making target of hour. To read 10 pages or to walk for 10 km. It always kept me on track!

Don't make a time table. Monitor day retrospectively.

When I was talking about time, how will I manage all? Long time tables give me frustrations only. Because no one can complete it!

Instead I have started monitoring myself. I tend to write what I did after each session. If I took a break, I have noted it. If I used whatsapp, I noted it. If I had a sleep, I noted it.

And gradually, I started removing all activities which were not needed.

I made it very simple -Focus on What I want to achieve and What I need to do for it. I engaged myself to it.

I believe results will come sooner of later, but definitely, I will reach to my goal.

So, how can you motivate yourself to work hard every day?

Refuse to accept your current situation, learn to live through pain, and ask yourself:

“What if?”
