Be Persistent
Most importantly, make sure that you are persistent and dedicated to achieving your ultimate life. Even though you might be very motivated at the moment, there will come times when your motivation is dwindling, and you may even want to give up.
On the days that you feel down, it’s more important than ever to be persistent. Only through persistence will you reach your goals and live the ultimate life you have been dreaming of. Tackle the problem head-on with persistence.
Since setbacks and laziness are guaranteed to happen, find ways to keep yourself motivated beforehand. That way, you can quickly pull out your motivational reminders whenever you feel tempted to give up and settle for mediocrity.
If you are a visual person, creating vision boards and visuals are great ways to keep you motivated. That way, you can physically see your dreams and be reminded of what is possible if you just stick to the work. Remember to update your vision board as your goals and ideal life change.
Another way to get motivation is to read books and quotes. There are tons of books about staying motivated, and there are even more quotes on the matter. By having a collection of quotes ready for when you feel down, you can quickly remind yourself of why you are working by picking them up.
Additionally, optimism and persistence go hand in hand. If you are pessimistic and a victim of a fixed mindset, you are less likely to be persistent when the worst happens. To keep you on your toes, try to have an optimistic mindset.
