Someone can come up with the best ideas possible in order to improve some aspect of his life, but if he doesn't start doing whatever it is that he needs to do then what good is his original great idea? The idea which would have transformed his life will be abandoned and forgotten if it is not implemented quickly. Sometimes it is very difficult to be motivated to make changes to one's life. Most people don't like changes much because change brings with it insecurity and uncertainty.

What is the trick to becoming motivated and to staying motivated? Motivation is what makes someone want to achieve a specific goal. It doesn't matter what the goal is, and is doesn't matter how big the goal. In fact, the goal could be a small goal like someone is going to write 2 articles for the next week in order to advertise his internet marketing business. Often times though, it is the small goals which produces the biggest changes because small goals are easier to accomplish than are large, daunting goals.

The first thing that has to happen for someone to be motivated is for that person to have a goal. The goal needs to be specific and it has to be realistic. It is not realistic for someone to want to make $1 million in the next month or to become an Olympic caliber skier in the next year if that person has never skied before. If either of those two conditions aren't met, specific or realistic, then there is little hope of achieving it.

Another important aspect of keeping motivated is that the goal must be measurable. There needs to be some method of tracking the progress toward accomplishing that goal. If it is not measurable, then it is highly unlikely that goal will be accomplished. The goal has to be measurable because just keeping track of the progress that has been made is motivating. As one gets closer to accomplishing a goal, the more pride one is going to gain from watching the progress that he is making.

If anyone is to have any type of quality of life, then it is important to be motivated to do things in order to make that life as meaningful as possible. Without motivation, it is easy to feel like our lives have no meaning or purpose. Be certain to be ever mindful of some goals, even small ones, and make sure that those goals all fit the three important criteria for a goal: specific, realistic, and measurable.
