Joseph Tramontana- 7 steps to motivate yourself for success

7 Steps to Motivate Yourself for Success Success is the ultimate destination for most people. But ofttimes they forget that success is a journey rather than a destination. Yes, the destination will offer an incredible amount of satisfaction after the hard work you’ve put in, but it’s more about enjoying the process of creating success. Believe in the journey, and success will be yours. Here are 7 steps to motivate yourself for success: 1. Be Positive It’s near impossible to achieve success if you don’t maintain a positive attitude at all times. Remember that perspective and attitude is everything. It is like a tinted glass through which you observe the world. Something seemingly disastrous may seem beautiful with the right attitude. 2. Believe in Yourself Believing that you’re worthy and capable of achieving success is the most important of all. There will be times when you’re criticized and ridiculed, and times when nobody is willing to put their trust in you. It is during these times that you have to remember to believe in yourself. All else is secondary. 3. Set Goals Break down your journey towards success into multiple small successes. The satisfaction you get on achieving these goals will keep you motivated and determined till the end. 4. Accept Mistakes All human beings make mistakes, and that is a good thing because it is a sign that you’re actively striving for something. If you stumble upon a few obstacles in your path, don’t brood over them for prolonged amounts of time. Remember that making mistakes is part of the journey. Accept your mistakes and learn from them. 5. Never Give Up! The only way anyone has ever achieved success throughout history is by staying determined and not giving up when adversity knocked them off their path. J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ was rejected 13 times by publishers, but she stood her ground and didn’t give up. Her massive success speaks for her now. 6. Don’t be a People-Pleaser Trying very hard to please other people rather than focusing on yourself will not work in your favour. Remember that it is not your job to please everybody. Your only obligation is to stay true to yourself.

7. Follow Your Passion The trick here is to try to be successful in what you’re passionate about rather than what is expected of you. Passion fuels success and it makes sure you enjoy the journey as much as the destination itself. And remember that success is subjective; it can mean different things for different people. Stay true to your version of success and you will get there.
