Without support, it makes it easier to quit and go back to a normal life. But you cannot let others choose the outcome of your life.

If you’re truly passionate about turning your dream into a reality, you can do it. Let no one convince you otherwise.

This is how you stay motivated when no one can see your vision.

1. Know Your Mission

Clarity equals power. To stay motivated in pursuit of your big goal or dream, you have to get clear about what you’re trying to accomplish and why you’re trying to accomplish it. Why you’re doing it, is more important than what you’re doing.

As legendary motivational speaker, Eric Thomas said, “If your why don’t make you cry, then that’s not your why.” Write it down, affirm it, and review your vision every single day. Become obsessed with completing the next step towards your mission and leave no doubt when you get home that you gave everything.

2. Focus on Alone Time

As the great Albert Einstein said, “The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.” If no one is believing in you, it’s up to you to build inner belief by getting clear and focusing on your goal.

Spend time meditating, journaling, and enjoying peace and quiet. Listen to motivational videos, read the best books on self growth you can find, and remind yourself daily why you’re doing this.

Each morning, make an effort to spend some time alone. This is one of the easiest ways to gain clarity and start to build belief within yourself. While it’s important to socialise, most often it’s when you are alone that you will learn the answers to life’s toughest questions.

3. Follow The Footsteps of Success

Unless you’re trying to live on the sun, chances are someone has already done what you want to do. Or at least some version of it. That should be extremely motivating.

Instead of trying to do it all on your own, you should start modeling what they did and learn from them where possible. Read their book, buy their course or hire a coach in that field. Even try to contact the person you’re modelling directly, you’ll be amazed at how far genuine passion will get you.

I recommend finding 3-5 people who are doing what you want to do and start following on social media if you don’t already. Then, reach out to them, learn from them and most importantly outwork them.

Study them, and soon enough you will end up being one of them. I’m sure they all fought off endless amounts of criticism too! When you do make it big, you can give back by helping the next person achieve their dreams.

4. Celebrate The Small Wins

When no one believes in you, it’s up to you to create your own momentum. Small wins are crucial when you’re trying to do something massive. While it’s easy to skip the small wins, your mind is actually craving the dopamine hit you get from them.

Each day before you go to bed, try and write out three wins for the day. Whether it’s hitting the gym, making that tough call, stepping closer to your goal or whatever else. It’s a great habit to build momentum and confidence within yourself.

Forgetting your small wins & focusing only on the fact you haven’t ‘made it’ yet or achieved your current goal, will set you up for failure. Small wins over time lead to massive accomplishments!

5. Meet New People Regularly

If your friends and family are turning into your biggest opposition to success, it’s time to change it up. If the people that you spend the most time with don’t believe in you or your vision, they are dragging you down.

While they might mean well, it’s not going to help you. To become successful or make a big change you have to have positive and supportive people around you 100% of the time. If you want it bad enough you must be strong enough to break the chains and surround yourself with those that support your vision. If no one believes in you, you know you’re in the wrong room.

Find people who are most likely to support you and your dreams. Whether it’s finding a Facebook group, attending a seminar or watching Fearless Motivation videos. As I’ve started doing all of these activities I’ve found my momentum increases and attitudes shift dramatically.

Memorize the words of Ray Robinson, “To be a champion, you must believe in yourself when no one else does.”

1. As A Child What Did You Love To Do? | Find Your Life Purpose

This is a great and fun way to find your life’s purpose. Sometimes people feel like they have to find their passion but in reality most of the times it’s already within you. Think back to your childhood and ask yourself what did you love to do?

Was it a sport, an instrument or something else? Often times, retracing your steps as a kid is agreat way to bring back memories of things you used to love to do. Ask your family and look back through old photos to spark some ideas.

Once you find them see how you can incorporate them into your life now. Can you still do the activities?

2. Who Do You Spend Time With? | Find Your Life Purpose

As Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

Do your friends share a common interest or are it more about going out and having fun? Maybe your friends love working out, golfing or building online businesses.

Usually, the people you spend the most time with have similar interests. Start by asking them what they think you are good at and actually listen.

3. How Would You Spend Your Time? | Find Your Life Purpose

If you didn’t have to work anymore, how would you spend your time? Would you try and compete in the Crossfit games? Would you build a business? Or would you try and create a busines or start a nonprofit?

Figure out where you would go, what you would do, and how you would spend the majority of your day. Often times money is the issue that gets in the way of finding your passion. Take a day off, from work and figure out how you would spend the day.

4. What Do You Absolutely Love to Do? | Find Your Life Purpose

Everyone has those activities that makes time fly. It could be playing basketball, reading books or hiking. Whatever it is, figure out what you absolutely love to do.

When do you get into flow like states? When you are in a peak state you probably experience inner peace and don’t want it to ever end. Ask yourself, when was the last time you felt this kind of joy in your life?

5. What Do You Really Care About? | Find Your Life Purpose

Do you have a certain cause that you really believe in? One that you like to volunteer when you’re not at work or something to help other people?

Often times to find your life’s purpose you have to spend time helping others. Usually, this work is the most rewarding and fun to do.

Start asking yourself these questions and exploring the answers to learn how to find your purpose. Don’t expect the answer to magically occur.

Instead, develop your passion, stay curious, and try new things. With enough work, you will find your purpose in life.

The eagle takes flight in search of the elusive rodent. The wolf sniffs the hoof shaped impression where a buck once stood. The child sharpens her spear in preparation for the hunt at first light. The gladiator breathes the thick air of battle before heavy iron gates grant passage to triumph or peril.

The path to success is not a path at all; it is an arena. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

With A Beaten Mind & Broken Body, Can You Still Emerge Victorious? “Broken Daggers”

Our passion to win must burn hotter than the sands beneath our feet.

Any mission, any goal comes with the risk of utter defeat.

But it is at the moment we are about to lose our footing, when our bodies are weak and minds worn, we must fight the hardest. Or risk losing everything.

Eventually, we reach a critical point in life. The moment a lightning bolt strikes across our hearts and ignites our passion. When the thunder roars and lightning cracks, we see the heavy iron gates to the arena have opened.

Only by daring to step forward, does our mission to succeed begin.

There is a myriad of paths life can send us down, by moving the compass needle in our hearts.

Whether we know it or not, our choices guide us to our own battle.

There are countless ways we can set goals for ourselves.

There are those who set out to start a business from the ground up. Some already within a company looking towards the next promotion burning with ambition. The college student who refuses to lose sight of his dream job however far away it may be. Will the accountant finally see the coveted C.P.A. after her title? Will the Army recruit make it to the ceremonial flags raised at the end of Basic Combat Training? Will the medical student see his first patient? Will the recovering addict sew the wounds they thought could be healed by a substance and conquer their mind?

We are all gladiators in our own arena. To endure the endless battle, the only helpful substance is raw strength of spirit and the iron will to never yield.

The hard truth is that we are all too human to endure endless struggle.

Fortunately, the body will follow what the mind believes possible, and perseverance is its teacher.

While we still stand upon the hot sands, enduring battle after battle, foe after foe, weary and scarred we will falter.. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

Even when we know our purpose, what drives us to achieve our mission, the battle can be overwhelming.

We will all get to the point where our legs begin to give, our backs hunched, sweat burning our eyes and the sword seemingly too heavy to swing again.

It begins with fatigue, and then we lose our footing, lose our way.

Our shield shatters, spear snaps and the sword falls from our grasp.

It is at the edge of our will we reach for the dagger on our belt. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

In our last desperate attempt to land a winning blow, we see the blade snap and the dagger is broken.

Everything fought for becomes distant as a swift unseen blow knocks us to the war stained sands we once proudly stood upon.

When our breath is heavy and our spirits seemingly evaporate, we must remember the words of the former champions.

Greatness is not handed down; it is forged in the hands of those willing to fight for it.

Even though we may find ourselves on the edge of defeat, a field of splintered shields and broken daggers, the fight is not over.

For as long as our lungs draw breath victory is always within reach.

Before we give in, before we let go of all we have trained for, remember the words etched on a warrior’s heart.

If I feel pain, I am alive. If I am alive, I can fight. If I can fight, I can win.

Yet, many of feel that we are. So we try harder. Work harder.

People feel mediocre because they forget (or never figured out) why they’re here, and instead of following their purpose, they’re following safety, or worse just existing.

Take an example of a business owner who is scared to branch out and instead sticks with the same, limiting, mediocre business model. His new idea could catapult him into mega success but the fear of failure has arrested his progress, resulting in a much slower and more painful demise. Or a talented employee who is suffocated in her work environment, but stays with it, because she doesn’t believe she could do better.

Are you one of these people? Are you settling for less than your potential because you’re afraid?

What are you protecting yourself from? Pain? Failure? Ok. Fair enough. But, what about pleasure?

What would your life look like if you focused on your strengths, clarified your motivations, let go of cognitive dissonance, and followed your bliss?

Bliss is following excitement—about life, work, relationships … you name it.

Safety is avoiding pain. The former pushes us to self-actualize, fully and authentically; the latter, well, it keeps us mediocre.

Remember those times when, seemingly out of nowhere, an opportunity to transform yourself appeared and you experienced fear?

That was your higher self calling you to take your life to another level. To not “just settle” for mediocrity. Because you know, you can DO MORE and BE MORE.

Do not settle for a minute longer. Take a look at these six steps to kill mediocrity;

 1. Clarify Your Purpose

Why are you here? What gets you out of bed in the morning? Are you excited? How are you expressing your inner fire through your daily actions? A clarity of purpose inspires courage within us to follow our bliss and overcome fears.

2. Take Inventory

Write out a list of things you do on a regular basis, both personal and professional, including projects you’re working on. What are your motivations for these activities? Be honest.

3. 75% Rule

Now, test the inventory against the idea that … to avoid mediocrity, you should be giving at least 75% of yourself to everything you do with 100% being the goal, of course. If you’re giving anything on your list less than 75% of yourself, why are you settling? Could you do better? Why or why not? Be truthful. If your answer is a lot of why nots, go back to #1 or check #4.

4. Dispel Cognitive Dissonance

We are creatures of comfort, and at some point in our lives, we built a view of the world and personal goals that would deliver this comfort, this pleasure to us. For example, you grew up poor, so making money was important to you. Fast forward 20 years, and you have made some money, but something is still missing … that’s because that belief is now a trap. After all these years, that belief has become a part of your identity and since it has always been important, it must still be important. It feels that way. But what if no longer is? What if it morphed in something else? What if it never were, but was only a function of survival and not your true desire? Dig deeper for answers and be aware, the brain can play tricks on us. Something may seem so true, but it isn’t. Don’t be tricked; it will rob you of greatness.

5. Shuffle

After you have completed these four steps, what concrete action can you take to change your life in a way that would lead to more opportunities to give 100% and less situations where you’re trapped, out of guilt, habit, or fear, and are giving less than you could? Does that mean quitting a job, seeking out a new opportunity, starting your business, writing that book, or seizing a new adventure? Whatever it might be, this is your opportunity to step up and transform your life in a tangible way.

6. Accountability

None of us is perfect and giving 100% on a regular basis, or even realising that we’re not, and thus falling into mediocrity, can be hard to  both see and remedy alone. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to identify accountability mechanisms that would help push you to function at your 100%. These could be achieved through self-reflection, mentorship relationships, personal and professional development, a partner, and certainly a life coach. Whether you choose one or all of these, remember that the path to greatness is only, truly, possible with others by your side.

Doing what scares us is what makes us great. It forces us to level up.

The question remains: Are you going to settle for mediocrity or pursue greatness?

That’s cool! Having multiple interests means your life is not boring. You’re a versatile person with a wide area of common knowledge.

But is versatility actually.. good?

It also means you’re all over the place. You get interested in yoga, for example, so you start practicing Yin, Ashtanga, Integral yoga, yoga Nidra, and any other kind the Internet serves you.

You want to start meditating, so you pick a different guided meditation on YouTube every single day, and you don’t really manage to calm your mind with any of them.

Then you start reading a couple of books at the same time. You’re interested in all of them, but you can’t fully connect with them, because you’re torn between two stories.

This is called multitasking, and it’s not as efficient as you might’ve thought.

When it comes to personal growth, in particular, it’s not efficient at all.

Sounds strange right? Well read on to find out how only doing one thing can bring you success.

Why Doing Only One Thing Can Bring You Mega Success

Why Multitasking Doesn’t Work | Do One Thing To Be Successful

The answer to that question is pretty simple: your brain is not built for it.

Scientific research from 2011 proved that for a fact. The researchers found that multitasking puts people under cognitive load, which disturbs their performance.

As you increase the number of things you’re trying to do at the same time, you create bottlenecks that inhibit your ability to make decision.

Now, you might be thinking: I’m not multitasking if I’m focused on Yin yoga today and Ashtanga tomorrow.

Well maybe you’re not doing this at the same time, but you’re still creating confusion in your mind.

Multitasking makes you feel and look very productive. You’re trying new things and you’re working on different tasks in the same period of time.

You feel like you’re the most efficient version of yourself when you multitask. Prioritizing takes a great deal of effort and time. It doesn’t make you feel as important as multitasking does.

But being focused on a single thing is the only way to achieve huge results. Do one thing to be successful.

Take as much time as you need to define your goal, your purpose, your mission in life.

Then go after it like your life depends on it, dedicate your entire life to your mission and I gaurantee success.

Why Focus Works | Do One Thing To Be Successful

When you’re focused on a single thing, you reach a state of flow.

I’m not saying you should sacrifice your entire life for one cause. There are several aspects of your life: family, career, studies, social life, personal progress and so on.

But If you try to cover several tasks in all of these aspects, then you have a problem.

If, for example, you aren’t focused on a clear career path, you’ll just jump from one job to another without finding your sense of purpose in any position. The same thing happens with college studies, and it’s exactly why so many students fail to graduate – they juggle between different courses and they don’t find their focus.

When you find one thing you want to improve in a particular aspect of life, it demands dedication.

If you’re willing to invest that effort, you will succeed.

Plus, making a commitment to a single thing prevents the feeling of being overwhelmed. If you’re trying to learn how to play the piano and you listen to Rachmaninoff playing, you’ll be overwhelmed. There’s no doubt about it.

But you keep showing up because your focus is on the finish line, the end goal so you don’t notice the obstacles your stepping over because your vision is so clear.

Investing tons of time on the instrument, day after day, you’ll notice great progress and the goal will be getting closer. But if you’re trying to learn how to play the piano, the violin, and the cello all at once and you try to achieve a very high level, you’ll be overwhelmed to a degree that makes you give up on everything.

Follow The Greats | Do One Thing To Be Successful

We don’t see Michael Phelps making attempts in running, pole vault, and gymnastics. If he tried doing all those things, I bet he’d be better than average in all of them, die to his dedication and athletic ability.

But would he be the best in human history in all of those? NO. He would never have become the swimmer that he is today.

How did he get there? Focus! He found his real calling and invested every ounce of effort he had into ONE THING.

Did he love every day of training? No, some he hated, but he focused on his outcome so intensely that he barely noticed. His powerful focus took him from strength to strength.

Simplify Your Life and Grow from There | Do One Thing To Be Successful

Find your center! One partner. One career. One book at a time. One project at a time. One type of practice. One type of meditation. A single focus.

That’s the foundational point that leads to mega growth. Believe in what you want so intensely it has no choice but to manifest itself!

Find your one thing and give it everything.

Use these Darren Hardy quotes to learn the habits that will compound your own success.

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If you are one of the few people in the world that are committed to reaching your full potential congrats! Most people settle for mediocrity in life.

But if you have the courage and determination you can become anything your imagination can visualize. Define what success means to you and take action toward living that life every single day.

“When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. You’ve got to expect it’s going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Changing your bad habits is not an overnight experience. Want proof? Just look at 99% of New Year’s resolutions.

Changing a lifelong habit takes more than a few days of willpower.

To change your bad habits don’t try to drop them instead, replace them. Then, stick with that habit for at least 30-60 days. The longer (and worse) your habit, the longer it will take to replace.

“Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can, and we say a goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Writing your goals down is the first step in turning your dreams into a reality. If you keep them in your head you’re bound to forget or not work on them consistently.

Write down all your goals. Whether it’s short-term, 90-day goals or listing out every life goal in a notebook. Even writing it down once will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind to help you achieve your biggest dreams.

“Once-dominant empires have failed for this very reason. People get to a certain level of success and get too comfortable.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your comfort zone is a dangerous place. When you get comfortable you can take things for granted and stop doing what got you there in the first place.

Challenge your mind and body on a regular basis to keep learning, striving, and achieving. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

“Critics are bitter dreamers gone scared. Empathize and ignore.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Critics are usually the people that didn’t have the courage and determination to keep pursuing their dreams. Don’t’ let them get you down. Use their doubt as fuel to make accomplish your own goals and dreams.

“Your past doesn’t define you, it prepares you.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your past is gone. There is no need to continue dwelling on your past mistakes. Everything that has happened has gotten you to where you are today.

Learn from your past to prepare yourself for creating an epic future.

“Your biggest challenge isn’t that you’ve intentionally been making bad choices. Your biggest challenge is that you’ve been sleepwalking through your choices.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If something is bothering you then change it. Whether it’s a job you hate, a relationship that isn’t growing or a habit that is dragging you down.

Remember, you are the creator of your future.

Use these Darren Hardy quotes to start changing your negative and self-sabotaging habits. Once you change your habits, you can change your life forever.

Use these T.D. Jakes quotes for inspiration and to set yourself up for success:

“A setback is a setup for a comeback.” — T.D. Jakes Quotes

Success is not linear. Entrepreneurs and successful people understand that everything doesn’t always happen the way you anticipate. You will get defeated, tired, mad, sad, and frustrated in your pursuit of greatness. But if you can keep getting back up after each time you get knocked down you will eventually succeed. Learn to move past obstacles and know that with each one your story will only get better.

“If you can’t figure out your purpose figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.”  — T.D. Jakes Quotes

Life is too short to spend it doing something you hate. Find what you are passionate about and go all in. Once you find your passion you will also find an energy within you that didn’t know existed. You’ll become more resourceful, enthusiastic, and powerful than you could ever imagine.

“Too many people want the appearance of winning rather than the practices and hard work that create a true champion.”  — T.D. Jakes Quotes

Everyone wants to be successful but few people have the work ethic, discipline, and patience to see it through. Social media makes it easy to look like everyone is winning but few are. Those that have become successful persisted through failures more than others were willing to do.

If you want to be a champion you have to put in the work. There are no shortcuts on the road to success. 

“If you can dream it, you can achieve it. The secret to recapturing our dreams is to enjoy the pursuit of the dream, rather than to focus on the outcome.” — T.D. Jakes Quotes

Whenever you set a big goal or dream it’s easy to make progress initially but it’s the middle part that is the hardest. While you might want results quicker don’t forget to enjoy the process. Make the journey even more fun than accomplishing the goal. While the outcome will be fun, focus on the pursuit of your ambitious dream.  

“Be strong enough to stand up again, even after haters make you drop to your knees.” — T.D. Jakes Quotes

Haters are everywhere, no matter how nice you are or what dream you are pursuing. People will doubt your dreams and say it can’t be done. Don’t listen to them. The only reason they feel that way is because they have given up on their dreams and have nothing better to do. Drown out the noise and trust yourself until you succeed.

“Stop hiding your scars and your wounds. They’re your trophies that you went through that and still survived.” — T.D. Jakes Quotes

No one is perfect, stop pretending to be, 8 out of 10 millionaires go financially bankrupt at least once. No one will remember your failures, they will only remember your success.

But you will never become successful if you give up. Failing is temporary, but quitting lasts forever.

The post 6 Amazing T.D. Jakes Quotes to Inspire Your Purpose & Success appeared first on Fearless Motivation - Motivational Videos & Music.

One the most challenging aspects of avoiding failure, pain and regret is that it’s not until we experience them that we actually learn how to avoid them.

We don’t know the stove is hot until we touch it, and we don’t know what losing a championship feels like until the final point is scored. The actions that led to these results are ultimately where we went wrong, but in the moments beforehand we have trouble recognizing the signs.

Sure, we can listen to a nagging parent who tells us to keep our hands away from hot things and we can hear the words of other people who have experienced similar events. But to truly understand something we need to actually experience it ourselves.

Prepare For Pain And Act Accordingly.

Pain can come in a number of varying forms. It can be the physical pain of an injury or it can be the emotional pain of loss. In both instances, we are often left with one common emotion.

Regret.

We can’t help but think “what if I just…” or “If only I had done…”

Deep down we know these statements can’t do anything to fix the situation, but I believe they serve a greater purpose.

The common problem for many people is that in these moments of pain and regret, they tell themselves all the things they wish they would have done differently and they toil over all the ways they will never let this happen again. It’s an extremely tense moment, but often we have our greatest revelations in these trying times.

Unfortunately, a month or two later, a lot of these ideas and plans fall flat. We forget about how we felt in the moments after defeat. We cannot recall the true depths of our pain.

If you’ve ever spent an evening binging on fast food and sweets, you probably know the feeling that came afterwards. You feel like you’re going to throw up, your mouth is raw from all the sugar and salt, and you feel like you just gained 20 pounds in 2 hours. As you go to sleep that night, you vow to never do that again.

Then 1 month later, you find yourself going out for a late-night fast food run and buying 6 burgers with a side of apple pie and strawberry sundae.

30 minutes later, regret sinks in once again.

Our brains simply aren’t wired to remember everything about an experience. Very often the moment that sticks with us is the peak moment. The highest point of enjoyment. Your brain hardly remembers the sugar crash, it only remembers those initial bites full of bliss. And the further you get away from that experience, the less likely it is for you to be able to recall the pain you experienced.

Whether it’s a sugar crash or a painful loss, we are very quick to forget the painful lessons we experienced. We let them slip past us and in the end, we are doomed to repeat our past mistakes.

The 3 Versions Of You

There are always three versions of ourselves:

• The Past Self
• The Present Self
• The Future Self

These versions of ourselves can sometimes seem like different people. We often feel like the decisions made by the past version of ourselves were immature and naïve. And we choose to let the future versions of ourselves deal with the problems when we choose to procrastinate. However, since neither the past nor future versions of ourselves ever actually “exist” in real time, the only person that suffers is the present version.

Still with me?

What I am trying to say is simple.

We lack empathy for ourselves.

Forgetting what it feels like to be in the shoes of our past self. Failing to remember how painful it was to lose that big match or miss the game winning shot – and in the end, we don’t learn the lesson.

How Can We Combat This?

First off, It’s difficult to relive an emotion, especially if we never take the time to live with it in the first place.

But with one simple practice, it’s possible to properly address this issue.

The next time you experience a painful moment, record how you were feeling afterwards. The regrets you had, the wishes you were making and the promises you made to yourself.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• What are you feeling right now?

• Why are you disturbed by this feeling?

• How could you have handled the situation better?

• What will you do to never let this happen again?

Once you’ve done that, pull out your phone and poliltely telling Siri or Google to set a reminder one month from now.

A month later when that reminder chimes in, go back and review on what you wrote down. Reflect and figure out if you are still on track. If you aren’t, refer to the answer you gave to question 4 (What will you do to never let this happen again?).

Final Thoughts

In a world with so many varying opinions, values, beliefs, and lifestyles, many of us are quick to judge the actions of others.

But before we can do that, we need to be able to properly judge ourselves. We have to take the time to listen to our inner dialogue and understand where it’s coming from. Our brains are wired to avoid things that cause us pain. We instinctively want to protect ourselves. We should do a better job of helping this voice be heard on a regular basis.

By implementing a practice like the one mentioned above, we give ourselves a fighting chance and we allow that inner voice to be heard more clearly. In this present moment, listen to the Past Version of yourself so that the Future Version of yourself can live the life you really want to live. Without no regret.

In conclusion, I will leave you with a quote from The Untethered Soul.

“The only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality. Once you do that, you’ll be clear enough to deal with what’s left.” ― Michael Singer

 

The post Start Taking Advantage of Your Regrets appeared first on Fearless Motivation - Motivational Videos & Music.

When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful. Everyone has heard this famous quote from Eric Thomas, but what does it mean?

Everyone has dreams and everyone wants to live a successful life. But it all comes down to how bad you want it. If you are willing to sacrifice the things others won’t, and work like your life depends on it. You are on the right path.

It’s about commitment and focus. It’s about living actively instead of living passively.

To make sure you achieve your goals, here are the four important lessons on commitment and how it fuels success.

1. Give Up The Excuses

As long as you have excuses, you will never have success. In order to be fully committed, it’s important that you let go of the excuses. Excuses are nothing but the lies that make you give up on your dream.

Don’t have enough time? Set your priorities and eliminate tasks ruthlessly. Don’t know how? Find a mentor. Feel lazy and unmotivated? Determine your true purpose.

2. Go From Interested to Committed

There’s a big difference between being interested in success and being committed to succeed.

One is wishful thinking and the other is taking responsibility.

When you just want to succeed, when you’re just interested – you’ll find excuses to give up. You may blame your boss, your education, your family, and so on. But when you are committed, you’ll take a hundred percent responsibility and work for your dreams with absolute dedication.

3. Know Exactly Why You Want It

“He who has a why can endure any how.” – Frederick Nietzsche

Now you know that commitment makes a world of a difference. It’s time to apply this knowledge. Understand your motivation. Why do you want to succeed? Is it for your family? Is it for your children? Or is it to prove that you’re worth something to yourself?

Understanding your WHY will help you reach another level in your life.

Intrinsic Motivation

You are intrinsically motivated when you accomplish something because it is personally rewarding to you. You want to do something because of an internal desire.

For example,

• Going for a run every morning because you love the runner’s high and the energy it gives you for the day
• Clean your home because you it makes you feel calm and organized

Extrinsic Motivation

You are extrinsically motivated when you act or accomplish something for external rewards such as fame, money, praise, and grades. Extrinsic motivation comes from external situations, such as when you want to receive praise, study for a test, or exercise because you don’t want to look silly or out of shape in front of others.

4. Focus : All You Want Is To Be Successful

You don’t care about going out for drinks every weekend. You don’t care about other peoples perceptions. All you want is to be successful. You are working day in and day out on your goals. You know clearly what you’re trying to accomplish and you’re going after it with everything you’ve got. No one will stop you. You will be successful.

Read on to discover how winners set clearly defined goals and the actions they take to achieve them.

1. Set A Goal That Drives You

When you set a goal for yourself it has to be something that you want immensely.

This is your ‘Why‘ and it needs to be strong enough to get you through everything life will throw at you. So make sure it’s good!

Motivation is key to getting started on a goal, but it’s vision, focus and a disturbing level of determination that will take you over the finish line.

2. Write It Down

In a study conducted by Dr. Gail Matthew, a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California. Out of 267 participants she found that the people with written goals were 42% more likely to achieve them.

The physical act of writing something will allow your brain to absorb it more fully. This is also true of studying, you will find you remember more when you take notes as opposed to just listening.

Make your written goals specific, in positive language, obtainable (if you put in the work) and have a deadline to achieve them by.

Under each goal write a 3 step plan of things you can take action on immediatly to get you closer to your goal. It doesn’t matter how small, as long as it is progressing you towards achieving your goal.

3. Embrace Your Near Wins

There has already been many times in your life where you thought you put everything you could towards achieving a specific task but, you failed.

The times you came close to success but just fell short. They may seem like failures but they aren’t.

Each time we try and fail not only do we learn more about ourselves but we develop strength for the next round.

Quite simply you learn from the small battles what it takes to win the war.

You may have failed recently but you are stronger now, smarter and you have a new level of intensity to obliterate. Don’t give up, get revenge by achieving everything you set out to achieve.

4. Visualize Visualize Visualize

When you have clearly defined written goals. Put them somewhere you will see them first thing in the morning.

Each morning you must read them again, better yet, write them down again (yes every morning) writing will make the information more ingrained in your brain, significantly reducing the time it takes to ‘rewire’ yourself.

Next, visualise yourself already having achieved your goals. What would it be like when you’ve achieved your goal? How happy are you? How do you feel? Each day you are changing the way your brains works.

You have to have incredible faith in your visualisation as though you have already achieved what you are setting out to achieve.

This will tell your brain that the goal is achievable and it will automatically begin working towards it.

Just like a boat in the middle of the ocean, point in the direction you want to go and soon you will hit land.

Sadly, most people are too scared to even leave the safety of the harbor, but just by reading this article you have already shown more hunger than most.

Now is the time to take your life to another level.

5. Company Makes You Stronger

What if I told you to tell your loved one/s or family about your goals and what you aim to achieve?

Would they laugh? Would they think you’ve lost your mind? Tell you it’s impossible? You have to be brave enough to share these thoughts because you know one day they will be a reality.

If you have people in your life that answer negatively, you have to ask yourself are these the right people to drive you forward?

You are the average of your five closest friends..

Everything the people you spend time with are doing is influencing you.

If they complain they are tired you will feel tired, if they complain life is too hard you will believe the same. You need to find company that lifts you higher. If you can identify people in your life who don’t fit this criteria. It’s time to make a change, that is of course if you want your goals bad enough.

You will need every strength available to you for the coming battles.

Remember, to be great you must be different.

6. Make An Action Plan

Write at least one goal for each of these areas of your life.

• Relationships
• Career
• Money
• Health

Under each goal write a three step plan, things that you can take action on straight away.

Have a deadline for each goal, some may be a week, some may be a year or more.

Each time you complete a goal cross it off and write a new one the next day, this will give you time to appreciate your achievement but also help you clarify what your next goal should be.

7. Do Not Quit

Remember if it was easy to be highly successful everyone would do it.

Achievement is an ongoing process, you need to go over your goals every single day with laser beam focus.

Remind yourself every day what you are working towards, personally I get up at least 30 minutes earlier each day for this process so you know exactly what you are working towards each day, this will also increase your productivity each day significantly.

A dream becomes a goal when action is taken towards it.
