Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like its the end of the world. You have tried almost anything and everything but its still not working or yielding the results you expect. Usually situations that have us feeling this way are work, relationships, investing or even just general lifestyle. No matter how the situation looks, do not give up. Never give up, you know why.. because the moment you do so. you lose. I know its hard to keep trying something for hours, days or even years. We all expect some results no matter what type of energy we put into something. You might have working on achieving a certain goal, but each time you are close to nailing it, something comes up and you are not where you are supposed to be. I promise you, this happens to almost everyone. So what do you do to stay motivated ?

Read motivational books

There are some amazing books that have helped me personally to stay anchored. It gets tough as you go but one has to stay motivated in order to achieve success. Some of the books that you should try are as follows :

Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill

The Subtle Art of not Giving a Fuck — Mark Manson

The Power of Positive Thinking — Norman Vincent Peale

The Secret — Rhonda Byrne

Be Patient

There is a saying, “Good things come to those who wait”. This is so true. Something you have to work hard and sweat hard for that success. If it was easy then anyone else could simply do it. Success comes with a long list of demands. Anyone who has attained success is a legend. Its not a walk in the part. You will be tested, challenged and you still have to stand on your call. Remain unshaken. Practice to stay hopeful and solider on. I have have had my own fair share of challenges, I remember this one time where it was so painful i cried. I decided to take a break from pursuing my dreams. Even though that break became years after. One morning I had a vivid reminder to follow my passions. I have doing great since. Its good to stop for a bit and reflect on your choices, If you get tied, do not give up but rest instead.

Get Rich or Die Trying

Usually most goals are set on financial basis. Lets say you want to start a business, you have to register, find suppliers, produce, brand, market the products then sell. Each of the points I have stated as its own challenge. You might have successfully launched the brand but fail dismally in marketing so much that you choose to give up. You might have tried almost all means or marketing, but still it doesn’t work. Through thick and thin you have to believe in yourself. You have to keep reminding yourself why you started in the first place. You just have to keep trying. One day it will work out. It always will. Anything is possible.

You deserve Happiness and Success

Like I mentioned, some goals are solely for financial benefit, some are for happiness and well-being. Being successful feels really good. It feels great to finally knock that goal in the park. You deserve to be happy. Everyone deserves success and happiness. This becomes the driving force for you as you know how bad you want it. Look at is as a journey, you get to stop on the way to check your tires or fill up your gas, Some cars break down or some collide, guess what.. the journey still has to go on. No matter what. There is no way you will choose to quit while you midway or close to the end right? The best way is to just stay strong and carry on with the journey. I wish you all the best of luck.

Blessings
