2. We’ve all had the experience of being extremely
motivated to reach a goal.
You start out feeling great and feeling like you
can accomplish anything.

3. But then something changes and your motivation
wears off.

4. Motivation comes in waves. As quickly as it hits
you, it can slip through your fingers.

5. So, what should we do about losing
motivation?

6. First, we need to prepare.
If we don’t prepare, we are more likely to
give up the moment we don’t feel motivated
anymore.

7. Create a plan for what you need to do to be
successful.
What are the actions you need to take each day
to get where you want to go?
Also, ask yourself, “What will I do when I no longer
feel motivated?”

8. After you’ve prepared your plan, you
need to take action. You’ll likely start
out feeling very motivated.
But you’ll also know that you’ve got a
plan in place for when that
motivation wears off.

9. The difference between success and
failure is often perseverance.
If you can press on through the times
when you don’t feel like doing what
you should do, then you’ll have a
greater change of reaching your goal.

10. If you stick to your plan no matter
how you feel, soon you’ll have created
a new habit.

11. Once you create a habit, those daily
actions will become much easier and
take much less discipline.

12. Creating successful habits will make you much less
dependent on motivation.
It won’t matter if you’re feeling energized or lazy,
motivated or unmotivated. You will continue to do
the actions that lead you to success because those
actions are ingrained into you.

13. You are capable of achieving your
goals; you just need to believe it and
take action.
If you follow these instructions and
prepare, persevere, and create
successful habits, you can succeed at
whatever you put your mind to!
