when you start reaching out for it.”

5. Set Goals
Secrets of Self Motivation:
1.
A major mistake made by
most people is that they set their
goals only in “mid”. And anything
out of mind turns out to be out of
sight. Hence, make a note of all the
goals that you intend to achieve,
before you sleep in a notepad and place it right in front of you. Every
morning when you wake up, a look at the notepad would remind you of the
targets. Moreover, make realistic goals that can be achieved. Unset goal in
life is like starting a business without having a capital to invest.
“The greater danger for most of us isn’t that our aim is too high
and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”
- Michelangelo

Another problem with most people is that they get influenced
by other people easily. Often, people try to divert you from your goal,

bad feelings as a challenge and make efforts to minimize them.
Whenever you feel someone is trying to pull you back work twice
hard and prove them wrong.

Break down the goals into small bits to make them easily
achievable.

dreams and aspirations to your near and dear ones, you will be
motivating yourself to achieve the set goals since you would never
want to let down these people.
