Batting In the Motivation-Momentum Strategy
May 21st, 2009
To start achieving your goals is always the most difficult part of anything. As science puts it, it takes more energy to start the ball rolling than to keep it rolling. Crafting the plan to achieve your goals is easy, but actually doing it to gear you towards achieving your goal is the difficult part. It takes courage to bat in the motivation-momentum lock strategy to do the trick. Take your first step courageously, out of your comfort zone and move forward. This is more tedious and you sometimes make mistakes, however hard you try to avoid them. The rule of thumb is stay motivated and key in the perfect timing.
Why the first step is always so difficult
It is normal for people to give up during this most difficult period and tell themselves they will try to do it again some other time. And there are even those people who feel helpless after getting frustrated and therefore, resign to a mediocre way of life, forgetting to believe in themselves. When this happens to you, do a positive self-talk.
Really, these pessimisms are not necessary. Failure doesn’t mean you have to stop. It is only telling you to get up, move on, try again, and do more. Find that perfect momentum. Success becomes sweeter for those who gained the right momentum; when after failing, instead of quitting, they immediately get up, empower their previous struggles, push hard, and harder, and harder until it becomes easier and easier already. That is momentum. And momentum combined with a strong sense of motivation is the true key to success. Through this, achieving your goals becomes fun.
Never quit
So, never be a quitter. Get motivation and momentum working for you. Persist to succeed and take bigger risks than you have in the past. Don’t major in baby steps because they will delay you in achieving your goals in life. Why fly like a barnyard hen when you can always soar like an eagle? Always be on a motivated mode. Couple it with the perfect timing and voila! You have achieved your goal.
