Today I want to introduce Dream makers/Dreams breakers # 2 which is Motivation or lack of Motivation. Our anonymous friend from sunny St. Lucia mentioned it very well in his comment for last week post.
It is true that our ability to stay focus on the task at hand, on a project or on a goal has a lot to do with motivation. When the human mind is motivated, it will accomplish miracles. The opposite is also true when someone suffer from a lack of motivation; they can barely get themselves to accomplish anything. They will start but never finish. Jump to something else, only to quit before bringing it to an end. As we all know, in most cases it’s not the beginning that counts but the end.
So how relevant this is for your goal setting process?
It is very relevant because it will help you to either accomplish your goal or to quit on it. So what you must do when setting up a goal, it’s to always ask yourself this simple question: what will my motivating factor for this goal be? In other words, what is the reason I want to accomplish this? If you cannot find that factor, do not waste your time; scrap it from your list of goals to accomplish because let me assure you, you will never be motivated enough to get up and go for it.
Examples of goals and motivating factors
Goal: loose weight
Factor: health crisis, self-esteem, upcoming wedding etc…
Goal: secure a better job
Factor: ability to use full potential, offer a better life for children, ability to save, to travel etc…
Goal: go back to school
Factor: better lifestyle at the end, accomplishment etc…
In other words, always find that factor. When you think about it, it should get you energized, and will get you going. It will give you that little kick…. (where you know you deserve it).
To a week full of accomplishments,
Jephtée E.

The motivation is a very good subject for present time. A lot of peoples = loss motivation.
Why? Too manny opportunity for another carrer, too much entertainment, shallowness or is too hard, mental, to be in top (at your expectations).
We can't to change the world but we can to improuve our lifes
It is a good time of year to think clearly about what one wants to do in the upcoming months. Sometimes people think that they have to accomplish big things but it is sufficient to start some things. This alone will help with getting you on the path that you need to be on. Sometimes the goal is lofty and it will take a long time so by starting it as long as you know the end purpose you have done well --- pat yourself on the back!
