Learning the Importance of MotivationSet Goals Setting goals is the first step to finding the importance of motivation in your life. First, take a look at your life now. Are there parts of your life that you feel could be better? How would you change that? For example, if you sleep-in when you could be getting work done, a goal may be to wake up at a set time that would allow you to get more work done. Or, if you find that you do not spend enough time with your kids you might set a goal to read them a book every night before bed or help them with their homework when you get home from work. These are very specific goals which are important. Try not to make a pie-in-the-sky goal such as "getting a novel published." Make a more attainable goal such as "finish the first chapter of my novel." Setting specific, attainable goals keeps your motivation high and makes you less likely to fail. Failure is the biggest killer of motivation. After a failure you lose sight of the importance of motivation. Self Bribery Sometimes motivation just won't come no matter how hard you try. When this happens it sometimes helps to bribe yourself with a favorite treat that you usually deprive yourself of. For example, if you do get up earlier for two whole days, or finish that novel chapter, or spend more time with your kids, then let yourself have that candy bar, or go out to your favorite pub with your buddies instead of cleaning house. Go shopping for a new top or pair of shoes. Treat yourself to a new golf club. The treat can be anything as long as it boosts your motivation to reach a goal. The strive to complete a goal is the importance of motivation. Take to the Next Level Once you've practiced boosting your motivation for a while, it is time to take it to the next level. As you pass through each goal successfully, set a new, bigger and better goal and give yourself bigger and better motivation to complete the goal. There is nothing that you can't accomplish as long as you keep in mind the importance of motivation. |
