Motivation Alone Will Not Get You There

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... 
It has no survival value; rather it is one of those
things that give value to survival."
*-- C. S. Lewis

"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
*-- George Edward Woodberry

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, 
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, 
he will meet with success unexpected in common hours."
*-- Henry David Thoreau

In any form of successful endeavor you wish to embark on, motivation alone will not get you from plan A to B. Every path you wish to take will normally be a long way with a lot of ups and downs. To succeed in life, you have to be committed to whatever you are doing. If you are bent on building a business, working on a personal goal such as losing weight, you could be so motivated to get going, but when you get to the gym, it is going to take more than motivation to lift those weights. 
Written below are some strategies that will increase your level of commitment to keep you motivated.

Doing Something That Turns You On 

Mark this as most important as it is one of the most serious factor that will keep you motivated. You got to do what really turns you on, whatever you have a passion for. Your own interest must be real genuine and come from the heart. Apart from winning that weekend lottery, there is no venture that becomes successful without hard work. As you get involved in whatever goal you are trying to achieve, if you do not have the passion for it, you will not be able to overcome difficulties when they come your way, and they are guaranteed to come. Do what you enjoy and difficulties will just be another hurdle in your part to jump over.

Taking Only One Goal At A Time 

Nothing can kills your motivation as much as having too many things clouding your powerful mind and removing your eyes from your goal. Do not try to save the whole world at the same time or doing too many projects at once. Set your eyes on one goal at a time and put all your energy into it. Only move head to the next task after you have completed one task successfully.

Creating A Road Map 

Nothing can moves forward without a plan. To remain positively motivated and see your plan move from one project to another successfully, you must be focused and set milestones to reach as you move towards your goal. If the plan you have is not getting you to where you want to be, do not hesitate to tweak your plan and move in another direction. As long as you are moving towards your set goals you will remain motivated and committed.

Time Will Heals Everything 

In any kind of life endeavor, you are involved in always give it enough time before you access whether it was successful or not. For example if you are trying to lose weight, you have to work at it and give it time. You did not build up the weight overnight and therefore you should also not expect to lose it over night, give it time. Whatever you do, whether you are building a business, building a tree house, take the first step, put in the first nail nurture it and with time it will start to take shape and reach the goals you have already set.
