It's so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail, isn't
it?  Are there times in your life when you really want to call
it "quits" because you just can't see any good results from all
the hard work you've done?

Hold your horses!

Never ever think of giving up.  Winners never quit and quitters
never win.  Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary
and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and patience.
The battle is never lost until you've abandon your vision.

But what if you're really exhausted physically, mentally, and
most of all emotionally?  Here are some sources of motivation
to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment.

1)  The Overwhelming Feeling of Attaining your Desired End

How would you feel after accomplishing your mission?  Of course
you will feel ecstatic.  You might be shedding tears of joy.  Let
this tremendous feeling sink in and encourage you to persist
despite all odds.

When I was studying for the Board Exams, I used this technique
to motivate me.  I would envision the sweetness of folks calling
me a CPA.  It would command respect.  People will look up to
me as a higher level of authority.  And I would have better
chances of finding a good job.  I absorbed all these great
perceptions into my inner being in order to achieve my ultimate
goal. 

2)  The Reward System

How would you feel if you've entered a contest, but there are no
prizes for the winners?  It's not very encouraging, isn't it?

The same principles apply to your vision.  Reward yourself after
accomplishing a goal.  Set a particular incentive for every
objective.

Let's say if you've achieved a particular task, you'll treat
yourself to your favorite restaurant.  When you've finished
a bigger task, you'll go on a vacation. 

Got the idea?

Just set something gratifying to indulge in after completing
a certain undertaking.

3)  The Powerful Force of Humanity

If you want to succeed, surround yourself with the right
kind of people who will support and encourage you all the
way.

Be with people who have the same beliefs and aspirations as
yours.  Positive aura is generated by this fusion of
collective energy from people of "like minds."

On the contrary, being with people who oppose your ways of
thinking may trigger a negative, yet very powerful, kind of
motivation.

Has anyone ever said to you that "You'll never get anywhere"
or "You're wasting your time with what you're doing?"

Didn't it made you furious and determined enough to prove to
them how wrong they were?  This is what I'm talking about.

When aggravated, you will do anything to make those who are
against you swallow their words.  But of course, your main
focus should be on the acccomplishment of your goal and not
for the purpose of revenge.  Never let your emotions toward
others alter your main objective.

4)  Take Care Of Your Health

Exercise regularly.  Fill your brains with enough oxygen to
allow you to do your daily tasks with more vigor and energy.

Take regular breaks if time allows.  Having the will power
to continue despite all hardships is extremely important, but
you should still know your limits.

If you don't take enough rest, you will not be able to think
clearly and you will not be able to do your tasks properly.
In the process, you will just get more frustrated. 

Take sufficient sleep and recharge yourself after a hard day's
work.  Never, ever ignore your health.  I've learned my lesson
when I sacrificed my health for the sake of success.   I've
worked very long hours everyday and just got minimal sleep.
As a result, I became ill.

It's not worth it.  Success won't matter if you don't have
good health to enjoy it.

Fire up your motivation and live life to the fullest!
