5 Steps on How to Stay Motivated While Pursuing Your Goals

You really want to do something and are all psyched up. You tell yourself nothing will stop  me. But after couple of weeks you might start saying "Meh, This is quite boring." So, have  you ever wondered why that intense sensation that made you start something new quickly faded away in couple of weeks?

Every person can succeed in life. However, for this premise to come to real life, some steps have to be taken.

1.  No matter how big your goals are, always divide them into smaller steps.

This is probably the most important thing you can do in order to stay motivated in your aims. For example, don't just say "I'm going to learn how to speak Russian in 1 years time." Instead say "I'm going to learn the Cyrillic alphabet in 1 week, then learn 20 Russian words every day." These kind of short term goals will help you keep focused.

2. After dividing the steps towards your goal, praise yourself for every step you finished.

This will help you stay motivated and refuel your excitement and rage to succeed constantly. Also, this positive attitude will make you an optimist and reduce your stress if you have relatively short time to finish your goal. 

3. Find like minded people that have similar goals.

By doing this you will find it easier to get motivated. Forums and blogs are great for finding like minded people online. Family members and friends would be even better, as you would be also improving your relationship with them.

4. When facing difficulties, think of how you would feel when you succeed.

You'll be one year older next year, no matter what you do. Believe me! So, if you can cope up with difficulties in the end you would be much richer (skill wise!).

5. While implementing all of these, try not to get too focused.

Nobody will like you if you become obsessive.

Don't just focus on one thing. Spread your interests! So, you won't become obsessed with your goals and rule out the present.
