Why do we do the things we do? Human beings are strange. we need a jolt before we start to want to climb uphill on the ladder of self improvement.

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study.

Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income.

 Being humiliated gives us the 'push' to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments.

It may be a bitter experience, a friend's tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Here are some tips on keeping yourself motivated from A to Z…

A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.

C – Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.

D – Don't give up and don't give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.

E – Enjoy. Work as if you don't need money. Dance as if nobody's watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you'll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

Are we growing, renewing being renewed?  Sharpening the saw, renewal, self renewal, revival, restoration, revitalization.. name it what you will. There must be latency before growth, dullness before vision, reaching within before reaching without.  It is the prerequisite to flashes of inspirations, ideas and changes, motivation, persistence and ultimately reaching your dreams.

Are you comfortable? Are you snugly curled up in your comfort zone in your personal life and comfortably doing what you've always been doing? Are you reluctant to move out of your situation even though you know there is something better?

Your comfort zone denotes the personal space, or way of doing things, in which you get comfortable, whether it's good or bad. You may not want to change because you are afraid of disrupting things as they are, for fear that things may turn out worse. You may feel it is too big a step to take, too much to suffer.

Think and grow rich. Think and achieve.
Attract what you want by thinking of what you want. The film The Secret and the Law of Attraction has highlighted the concept that  anything is within the field of our possibility if we desire it strongly enough, believe in it and take action towards getting or achieving what we want or dream about. It has shown innumerable instances where people have achieved what they wanted by thinking believing hard enough.
Why is it then that millions are not having what they want or achieving the happiness they desire? That they are treading in poverty, unhappiness, unease? The secret lies in another secret. This secret is that a lot of people do not even know what they really want.
