Seven Rules of Motivation
#1 Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals that go in many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will be motivated to challenge grand goals.

#2 Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivated projects.

#3 Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating. We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they are losers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner. To be a cowboy we must associate with cowboys.

#4 Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams.

#5 Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural talent creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and persistence gets the job done.

#6 Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The more we know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-propelled upward spiral develops.

#7 Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation. Failure is a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a string of failures.

As  child, we could not run before we could walk. We made errors in the things we tried to do, before we completed that task.
We need to remember those times, and treat our efforts, the same. Try Try and Try again, we will succeed.

1) As we say small baby steps will win the race
2) That is something i always try do
3) I like this one and how true it is, I have a friend who i like to spend time with, but only for a short time, she likes to moan and grumble and complain about anything and everything she is always looking for the negative and she usualy finds it.when i am with her i start think negative to,
4) knowledge is so important, when i started on my weight lose journey, I had to first discover the reasons I was over weight, and resolve them once I had let go off the past I could move forward with the weight lose,im stuck at the moment with issues I need to resolve before i can move on.
5) Talents we have all got them, so use them to make you feel good about yourself.
6) Again knowledge helps us to achieve great things. At the moment im studying family history/Genealogy.
7) No one ever goes through life without some failures. take a chance, one of my many favourite sayings is that which dosent kill us makes us stronger, CANT is a powerful word, how do you know you cant if you dont try.
