Eight Ways of Self Motivation Towards Actualising Your Dream(s)

Life is full of ups and downs and to forge ahead in life it is required to have dreams/visions. You need to have an insight of your future and how you want it to be like. Create certain positive images in your head of what you want to be and set out achievable aims that will guide you in actualising those dreams. Often times we're "alone" and the road to success may seem rough and it seem like nothing is working, or everything is difficult. You need to FIRST motivate yourself to keep going and not give up. Below are very simple ways one can adopt to motivate oneself in order for those dreams to come true.

1. Start with visualizing your future - You cannot be successful unless you see yourself a success. Most of the time you need to stop second guessing yourself. Believe in yourself and believe you can do it.

2. Mentally walk the path to your goals and consciously strive each day to achieve this.

3. Set a target to be accomplished with each of your daily tasks - Until you set a target for yourself you won't take your own dreams seriously. Targets help you focus more on where you want to be and keeps you motivated to strive harder even in the face of distraction.

4. Visualize the desired outcome and have this vision in your mind at all times.

5. Read books that motivate you and avoid those who discourage you - Always hang around with those who motivate you. Reading not only motivates you, it also expands your scope of reasoning and learning. 

6. Never fail to seek professional support in achieving your goal in moment of doubt. When in doubt ask for help from more experienced people.

7. Focus on the positive achievement not on the negative ones - Never allow negativity in your life, stay positive ALWAYS.

8. Plan in detail - Write clearly what you intend to do at a particular time. Clarity is the most important element of productivity. The reason some succeed is because they spell out their goals and objectives and they don't deviate from them. To be an achiever in your career and actualize your dream, never deviate from your plans. Write down your dreams and also state how you intend to achieve them. In fact, state clearly your targets, and go back to what you've written as often as possible to see if you're achieving any of your laid down dreams within the speculated time frame and to measure your accomplishments.

The road to success is not smooth, you get knocked down over and over again. Keep going and do not be discouraged. Pray well and let God lead you.

Good morning people.... Today will be a great day!
