Progress is the best motivator. Even if you need to lose 100 pounds, it’s pretty exciting to see that you’ve lost 10 pounds. However, progress isn’t always apparent. Some things are very subjective unless you take the time to measure them.
For example, it may be hard to see a 10-pound weight loss in the mirror, but it’s pretty easy to see your progress on a bathroom scale.

Are you striving to be more productive? If so, these tips can help you to get up early so that you can take advantage of those early morning hours and enjoy greater productivity.
It’s important to remember, though, that getting up earlier won’t benefit you if you’re suffering from sleep deprivation. Ensu
Nighttime is magical. We’re all so wise at night. We can plan out the perfect day, but then our plans go awry once the day gets here. The reason for this is that we try to make decisions on the fly, and we’re too influenced by what feels good in the moment.
1. Know your goals. What do you want to accomplish? You can’t make effective plans until you know what you’re trying to do. If you don't kno
I just want to share just a little bit of Scripture with you, Psalms, 139: 23 and 24
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Listen, none of us want to think about the things that are wrong in our life are the things that are bad about us. We just rather think about the good stuff. We'd rather ask God to bless us, but sometimes when God wants to bless you after the blessing, he must break
Have you ever made big plans for your life, only to fail to act on them? Or maybe you started with a bang and kept your motivation for a few days, but suddenly lost interest.

1. The planning phase is more fun than the execution phase. Sitting alone at night and making plans for
Motivation can be hard to come by when you’re not seeing the results you desire. The ability to intrinsically motivate yourself, or to persevere in spite of a lack of motivation is a valuable skill.

1. Utilize the power of the internet. Save time and money! Many tasks that will help you get a job are activities you can do more efficiently online.
You are AMAZING.
You are BEAUTIFUL.
You are CAPABLE.
It’s so easy to get down on yourself because of comparisonitis or wondering why your last venture, meeting, post, email, or event didn’t go as well as you had planned.
It’s tempting to give up altogether-but don’t. Everyone goes through highs and lows whether you are an entrepreneur or at a corporate job.
But when everything doesn’t go exactly as you had planned, don’t let this change what you think about yourself.
