Patence + Persistence + Perspiration = Success

There are three principal reasons we lose our focus of motivation.

1. Lack of ...confidence – If we don’t believe we can succeed, what’s the point in trying?
2. Lack of focus – If we don’t know what we want, do we really want anything?
3. Lack of direction – If we don’t know what to do, how can we be motivated to do it?

Firstly, repeat to yourself several times a day, every day, “I have confidence in me.” Then do the same with your focus! Remember, repetition is a powerful way of changing our thinking from the negative to the positive. Direction, there is only one, FORWARD, keep going forward, taking steps back will only slow down the process to succeed. Staying motivated is not easy, take small steps and with each success, more will follow building up you confidence, eliminating negative thoughts and changing your anxiety about the future. You will fail on the way, many times, but never give up. By doing this you will learn how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones and focus on the task at hand. What separates the highly successful is their ability to keep moving forward! As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it”!
