The Key to Success

1. Focus on commitment, not motivation. Just how committed are you to your goal? How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it? If you find yourself fully committed, motivation will follow. Here's how to focus on commitment. 2. Seek knowledge, not results. If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled. If you focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather-it will die the minute you hit a storm. So the key is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve. Here's how to seek knowledge. 3. Make the journey fun. It's an awesome game! The minute you make it serious, there's a big chance it will start carrying a heavy emotional weight and you will lose perspective and become stuck again. Here's how to make the journey fun. 4. Get rid of stagnating thoughts. Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine how you view your work. You have a lot of thoughts in your head, and you always have a choice of which ones to focus on: the ones that will make you emotionally stuck.
