Staying Motivated!

Praise JESUS CHRIST!

Motivation is a key ingredient when enduring the sometimes difficult task of accomplishing goals.  Without motivation, we become luke-warm goal seekers simply 'going through the motions', making the task at hand increasingly difficult.  I mention that it would be more difficult because of the fact that when we are 'inspired' to do a thing, it makes it more joyous even if the job at hand may be a bit strenuous.

But how do we remain motivated?  When we first begin a venture, we are at the peak of excitement!  We feel rejuvenated by the new set of goals we have created and we know without a shadow of a doubt that with the aid of JEHOVAH we will accomplish our goals.  We do great the first day, even better the second day, but then we seemingly hit that proverbial wall, where we don't feel up to doing what needs to be done to get us through the day.  What are we to do when this occurs?  Believe me, it WILL take place! The most successful people will tell you that much.  However, the thing that made them successful, even when the road became tedious, was their being motivated to accomplish their desire.  They have completely made up in their minds that they would see the aspiration to its end.

The key to remaining motivated is first to remember 'why' you set the goal.  What was your reasoning behind the goal?  Of course the main reason for setting your goals dealt with some form of self-improvement.  When you remember that accomplishing the goal will greatly improve your outlook on life, this will assist you in following and finishing the plan you've set.  Another reason to remember your 'why' is so that when attempting to accomplish a goal becomes uncomfortable or painful, your 'why' will encourage you to keep fighting, knowing that all your hard work will pay off in the end, enabling you to be healthier, happier, and more content than you previously realized!

A good way to stay motivated is to constantly look at your goals.  You may want to write down the reason behind each goal to remain optimistic when the trials of pursuing the desire present themselves.  The motivation necessary to accomplish your aspirations has already been placed inside of you by your Creator.  Don't fret if you seem to lose some motivation, just continue to do what is necessary and doing that will keep you motivated, especially when you begin to make progress.

Another way to remain motivated is to think about how you will feel once the goal is accomplished.  Seeing yourself in possession of the goal is a great way to encourage yourself along the ride.  Remember your goals are most likely a marathon and not a sprint!  There will be peaks and valleys along the path, but remain focus and decisive toward accomplishing the goal!  It takes faith and strength to realize any worthwhile ambition.  Keep believing and God will honor your faith, giving you the ingredients necessary to remain in a positive frame of mind along the ride toward the completion of your task.

So when the times get tough, and the travels along the road to accomplishing your goals make you weary, remember YOU CAN, WILL, AND MUST ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS!!!! You have all the motivation and desire needed to do all things to the Glory of GOD!  God Will Strengthen you!!!!  Don't become discouraged if things aren't progressing as quickly as they might.  You will arrive at your destination if you do NOT quit!!  Remember, as The Holy Bible states, 'YOU WILL REAP, IF YOU FAINT NOT!!!!'  Be Blessed!
