Hi there,
It is currently that time of the year when we make new resolutions and try to keep them. During the journey, you observe that somewhere in the middle of the line, things change. You lose motivation and start tilting towards the negative aspect.
When this happens, it stifles your goals and growth. So, what do you do to keep your dreams alive again?
For me, I'll say, “Stay positive and motivated!”
How does maintaining a positive mindset contribute to success?
Having the right attitude is crucial when pursuing success. That is because the journey will be tough but the right attitude will encourage you to stay resilient. Take, for instance, you are playing for your favourite team, Arsenal. The opposing team has scored its second goal in 45 minutes while yours is still at nil. A positive mindset will drive you to strive harder in the next half of the match. You could even end up scoring the legendary 99 goals in 45 mins. Who knows? All being said, a positive mindset is your gateway to attaining success.
Outline your strategies for staying motivated.
Staying motivated can be challenging but I will share 6 strategies that have worked for me.
- Begin by writing a letter to yourself every time you commence any journey. State the main reasons you've decided to embark on that journey so you can read it whenever you feel demotivated to continue.
- Tell your close friends about your plans and dreams so they can be your accountability managers when you catch yourself slacking. (I completed a tough course because I knew I had told my friends my plans and wouldn't feel comfortable to tell them I backed out when it became too tough)
- Share your journey on social media like Steemit, etc. (Optional, but it keeps your accountability to people)
- Mingle with the right people so they can be your support system when you begin to lose the drive to push on.
- Challenge yourself even when it doesn't seem like you can attain that goal because how else can you know your weakest point if you do not try?
- Never isolate yourself from friends because help can come when you need it most.
I hope this helped.
In what ways does the Steemit community contribute to your motivation?
Someone said we stay active on social media to watch other people's lives. How true and accurate it is. When we watch people share their achievements and goals, their powerup journey and Steemit milestone, etc., we become motivated to try again. This is my major motivation.
Staying motivated is challenging but you've got to do it if you must succeed. So discover the strategies that work for you and never relent effort to push through. Stay resilient!
Thank you for reading. ❤️

Hi @ahbaz, I loved the example you gave of the game of soccer, definitely if people who play should have a positive mind, otherwise with the first goal of the opponent, they would already give up.
The people that make up our environment are great motivators, as long as we have the commitment to achieve the goals, so it is important to make determinations.
Greetings and success.
