make it real.

realistic goals. They should not be
extraordinary and unreachable.
Firstly, discover your strengths,
your fortes and also your limits;
only then, set your goals. You
should also have a blueprint of
your plan. Your action plan must
be flexible, so that it lasts long.

Positive attitude
Your attitude is your biggest asset. Positive
thinking is extremely important as your
thoughts and attitude will influence your
plans and actions. Do not let negative
thoughts or people influence you. Do not get
frustrated or depressed. Write your positive
aspects and achievements. It will definitely
boost your self-confidence.
Self Motivation Tips

Start with a small step
It takes a lot of effort to initiate the
planned course of action. It is observed
that most people have their plans ready,
but they find it extremely difficult to make
a start. You must at least take a single step
to begin your work.
Once you begin, it is easier to continue.
Do not fear making mistakes because the
more you fear, the more likely you are to
commit one. Remember that failure is
followed by success.
Self Motivation Tips

Consistency
Steadiness and regularity in your actions is very
essential. It is possible that you may get
discouraged or tired, after the initial excitement
is over. But, you have to self-motivate and be
focused.
Strengthen your interest and desire to succeed.
Do not complain about lack of resources or
unsuitable situations. If you are really determined,
you will accomplish your goal. You must not let
any kind of obstacles affect you or your action
plans.
Self Motivation Tips

Procrastination is your enemy
Delaying your day's work will
lengthen your time in achieving your
goal. Avoid being lazy. Taking breaks
to get refreshed is accepted, but not
putting things off for the next
day. Procrastination is a hindrance in
your progress.
Harmful external forces likes negative
thoughts and ideas must be
completely blocked. You should never
lose your mental balance under any
circumstances. You should not be
nervous or depressed. Do not let
emotions empower any of your
actions.
Self Motivation Tips

Never quit
If you follow the right plan
and procedure, you are
sure to succeed. But, there
may be times when things
can go wrong. However,
you must never lose hope.
Keep on trying, find out
what is wrong but do not
quit. Memorize the famous
quote, Losers quit when
they are tired, Champions
quit when they hold gold.
Always align your values
with the organization core
values.
