For the purposes of self motivation, your goals can be either tangible or intangible. They could be regarding your physical, material, emotional and spiritual needs or wants.
You should be aware that goals should never be forced or contrived because if they are, your chances of success are minimal. External factors may strongly modify, but should not determine whether your goals are achieved or not, because ultimately the desire to bring them to fruition comes from within yourself.
Self motivation is a force at play within you; external influences merely provide inspiration or discouragement. Therefore, your goals and the manner in which you achieve them greatly depend on your motives, drive, and determination. So always work on your goals by believing that you can reach them in the first place.
For you to believe in yourself and your capabilities to follow through, you have to know how to boost your self-esteem. As human beings, we are imperfect. There are things other people can do that you cannot, but there are also many things you can offer that others cannot. You have to know yourself and accept your imperfections and limits. At the same time, identify your strengths and develop them. Analyze your weaknesses and either avoid or eradicate them. By doing this, you will know how to deal with problems by believing in yourself and your ability to overcome them. Thus, you will also increasingly know with a sense of certainty, not mere hoping, that you are truly worthy of your loftiest dreams. You will truly believe in your abilities as well as your capacity to manifest them into reality.
The way you see yourself is a result of past experiences and traits that you have developed throughout your life, and particularly when you were young. Your family, friends, and all other people you associate with can be major external influences upon your goals: they can either be helpful or an obstacle in reaching them. You have to learn to be independent, but not to the point of being rude. You must know how to compete and yet be friendly at the same time. The people around you can support you during your lowest times, so really try to value them starting today. Remember that it is near to impossible to achieve most worthy goals without the help of other people at some point in the process.
External forces can indeed be very challenging, but the forces within you are even more difficult to control. If you lack the enthusiasm and self motivation to follow through on your aspirations, then you may get lost somewhere along the line and never reach your dreams at all. Stay focused. Remind yourself of precisely what you want. By doing this, you fuel your passion in working towards your goal.
Naturally, staying focused is much easier said than done. One of the best ways to do this is to keep your eye on the target, i.e. have a clear description of what your final target or objective looks and feels like. Use an arsenal of the best self-improvement strategies to help you to stay motivated.
If you are in a highly competitive field, try to be aware of yourself, your uniqueness and your edge against other competitors. Do not strive so much to be better than others, but rather try to be the best person you can possibly be in the field you are working within: strive to be outstanding on your own terms.
There are many different self motivation trainings and seminars for self-improvement that will enable you to learn different techniques about how to treat others and yourself well, as well as how to achieve the success you seek: hence, make full use of every such resource available to you.
