.The Importance of Finding Out what Motivates You

    let's find out what the importance of motivation exactly is. Simply put, motivation is that driving force which allows you to achieve your goals and go after what you want in life. If you want to change your personality for the better, get a promotion at work, start a new habit, be a better person who is part of the community, become a better parent for your kid – all of these things would be easier accomplished if you are properly motivated.

    找出自己的夢(mèng)想

    你的動(dòng)力源是什么？動(dòng)力是你生活的推力，是通往成功的階梯，無論你的理想是什么：完善自己的性格，升職，培養(yǎng)一個(gè)新的興趣，你必須找到自己的動(dòng)力所在。

    2. Focus on one goal at a time.

    This should be partnered with the fact that you should make sure that your short-term goals all help in achieving your long-term goals. One of the best ways for you to focus on one goal at a time is to make a diary of your goals – yes, write it down – so that you will have a visual representation of the things that you want to achieve rather than letting it all get lost in your head.

    擁有目標(biāo)

    為長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的目標(biāo)設(shè)立小的短期目標(biāo)，你可以將它寫在日記本上。

    3. Get rid of all the distractions which might prevent you from achieving your goal.

    Let's say that you are a writer who wants to finish a book. How can you type away on your keyboard one chapter after another if there are many distractions surrounding you like television, friends chattering away or the lure of aimlessly browsing through the Internet. In order for you to stay properly motivated, make sure to steer clear of any distractions.

    遠(yuǎn)離可能讓自己泄氣的事物

    如果你想寫成一本書，你不可能完成如果你整天守著電視，和朋友聊天。因此，你必須遠(yuǎn)離可能影響自己的人或者物。

    4. Completely block out any negative influences.

    Make sure that you are completely blocking out any negative influences in your life. If you feel that you are being distracted from your goal by a problem which does not seem to go away, ask yourself what you can do to eliminate such a challenge and distraction in your life. Maybe you are being sidetracked by negative thoughts and feelings because you have no faith in yourself. Addressing the root of the problem, completely blocking out any negative distractions and thinking purely positive thoughts is the best way for you to develop motivation in your everyday life.

    避開負(fù)面影響

    如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己碰到了一個(gè)很難解決的問題，那么想想自己可以做什么，盡量避免或縮小這個(gè)問題帶來的影響。你可能被自己的消極思想引導(dǎo)了，不相信自己。

    5.Constantly Work At Motivating Yourself

    A goal doesn't do you much good unless you are constantly thinking about, and working towards it. Write down your goal and place it somewhere that you will see it at least 1-2 times a day. If you have a weight loss goal, place your written goal beside the refrigerator. If your goal is to get physically stronger, place your written goal near your weight bench so you can see it when you are working

    朝著目標(biāo)奮斗

    目標(biāo)永遠(yuǎn)不能實(shí)現(xiàn)，除非你靠著它一步步前進(jìn)，每天提醒自己1-2次自己的目標(biāo)是什么。

    6.Cut pictures out of the car that you want, or the TV, stereo, golf clubs, whatever you are aiming for, and put them up somewhere you can see them every day. On the fridge door, or on the wall next to the computer. When you look say "That's my car" or "That's my TV". Visualizing these items as yours will help keep you motivated.

    將你的奮斗目標(biāo)放在自己可以看見的地方，每天鼓勵(lì)自己。

    7.Anyone who has had serious issues with motivation knows that someone telling you to "stay motivated" is a bit daft, since you weren't in a motivated state to begin with, and as such, is hard to stay in. However anyone can get themselves motivated.

    自己激勵(lì)自己。別人再怎么激勵(lì)你，都是徒勞的，你必須自己堅(jiān)定奮斗的目標(biāo)，才可能有奮斗的動(dòng)力。

    8.Don't just think that you're the best, prove it to yourself. Your opinion matters the most in your own motivation, but you know when you're pulling your own leg as to your accomplishments. It's far easier to just start dealing with your responsibilities and knowing, with an incredibly strong epistemic justification （by which I mean, you KNOW this） that you can handle what comes up because you have before, than trying to know you can tackle it because you're all warm and fuzzy inside. Warm and fuzzy accomplishes very little, but neither does beating yourself up.

    證明自己是最好的。不要總是告訴自己，自己是最好的，用時(shí)間來證明更有效。

    9.Reward yourself when you complete a part of your task, your mind will recognise this and you will want to do whatever you did to give yourself a treat more.

    認(rèn)真做好每一個(gè)小目標(biāo)。

    10.Get back up if you fall. Start again. Start where you are comfortable. Getting back up to try again, no matter how small that task, goal, activity, errand, or whim; If you can complete it, you are already back on your way. Get up, don't look back. Cheers!

    失敗了繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。在自己失敗的地方重新站起來，繼續(xù)奮斗。
