Self-Motivation will become a Natural State if you are doing something that you truly love, something that you deeply believe in. when you are in this state, you are completely aligned with your true Values, your Thoughts, and your True-Self, your Authenticity, and above all with your Actions. From this place, Self-Motivation is a Natural State of the Art, it comes organically to you; You are constantly in a state of Flow – You are not forcing yourself to do the work: You are simply motivated enough; Doing what you love and loving what you do. It is a reciprocal relationship with work, you don’t feel that you work for a single day. You are just following your intuition, and your inner guidance will lead just right! Now the question is: How about Self- Efficacy? The answer comes within the question, you show your best, when you are internally motivated. All your Talents, Skills, and your Strength Points will be awakened, and so you will become UNSTOPPABLE!
After indulging in spotting your Strength Points, your main interest, or your State of FLOW, your IKIGAI, you simply solve the Equation and reach the intersection of the following 4 questions:
- What you love?
- What you are good at?
- What the world needs?
- What you can get paid for?
- Start before you are ready, the first step is always difficult. By just starting, you are doing the hardest part and the rest will follow. Beginnings are hard, but they help ignite your Enthusiasm, creativity, and most importantly your actions.
- Look for completion and not perfection; it doesn’t have to be 100%, but if it is 80% done, it is better than never done.
- Keep on tracking your progress, if you progress 1% every day, then through the year you will reach 365%
- Surround yourself with a Network of Successful people (those who reach the success you are looking for), like-minded people, supporting people, motivating people, and people who believe in you.
- Celebrate your successes, even small ones. Success breeds Success!
- Keep Learning: Studying, learning, attending related seminars and sessions, asking questions.
- Reaching optimum success is a matter of consistency, persistence, and never quitting on your dreams.
