Page 26 - HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL PERSON

A break with a few songs or working while listening to them for
a while usually works well.

9. FIND THE OPTIMISM:

Pessimism can drain both your motivation and energy.

However, the positive and constructive way of looking at things can on
the other hand energize and recharge your motivation.

So when you are in what looks like a negative situation ask yourself
questions like:

What is one thing that is good about this? Moreover, what is one hidden
opportunity here?

10. Get the Right Tools

Your environment can have a profound effect on your
enthusiasm. Computers that are too slow, inefficient applications, or a
vehicle that breaks down constantly can kill your motivation.

Building motivation is almost as important as avoiding the traps that can
stop it.

11. Be Careful with the Small Problems

The worst killer of motivation is facing a seemingly small
problem that creates endless frustration.

Reframe little problems that must be fixed as bigger ones or they
will kill any drive you have.

12. BUILD ON SUCCESS:

Success creates success. When you have just won, it is easy to
feel motivated about almost anything. Emotions tend not to be situation-
specific, so a small win, whether it is a compliment from a colleague or
finishing two-thirds of your tasks before noon can turn you into a
juggernaut.
