Being successful and become a better person is the dream of all people. Of course, for it required a strong motivation to overcome challenges to achieve what we want. This motivation must be grown, from within ourselves. I could have read hundreds of books received an injection of motivation, but what often happens is an increase in emotional moment for change. Perhaps this last one or two weeks and after that, I feel it all back into mediocrity like the old conditions. Have you ever felt that?

i believe that life is what we make it, we can be a better person if we chose to be. Before i was feeling so down and disturb, useless and unimportant but as i grow in age, i realize that i can be a better person, i started to evaluate my life and of course i'm glad that i have a very wonderful husband who also help me feel that i'am somebody, i started to wash out all the negative side of life and i refrain from criticizing and also from listening to gossips then i feel better as a person, you know if you feel better of yourself you can succeed in whatever things you want to just be positive in life and of course trust in God...

Yes. you are correct. You are very fortunate to have wonderful husband, and willing to help you become a better person. I also sometimes have a strong embroidery, but sometimes, embroidery was lost, because there is something that makes me despair. No one gives encouragement to me. But I'll keep trying, and give encouragement to myself.

I am married, and has one child. However, sometimes they are eliminating my spirit.

Hard work is the key to success, there is no other trick, simply hardwork. To work there must be motivation and support from people around and also you must have the will power to work hard.

Anyone who gives encouragement to me, will not work, because everything on me, very dependent on my husband. The only person who can give encouragement to me, is my husband. But, I can not possibly expect the spirit from my husband.

Then there must be someone, a mentor like a best friend, family member or someone to encourage you, move you on.

I can relate indahfth! I have being very motivated to work toward my ambition to open a boarding cattery. For a couple of weeks I have been excitedly making plans and now I am losing my momentum! I think it happens and these are the times we have to hold on to our visions. I keep putting one foot in front of the other while hoping my ‘mojo’ will come back real soon!

You mean that you end up going back to your own ways after trying a few days to change? That's happened to me many times. I guess, some changes we just need to put it in the hands of time, rather than our own and eventually, we'll change, but not over a few days.

I often experience things that you experienced. Sometimes the motivation is there, does not make me get up. Very difficult, to become a better person. However, we should not give up. As long as we're alive, we must continue to fight, become a better person.

One cannot measure success by having lots of money or having a great career. For me, even if one is just a plain housewife you could say that she is successful if she has a happy and contented family. I think you have high expectations in life, so when they are not achieved you will feel that mediocrity. Maybe you tone them down so you won't feel that way. Me, simplifying my wants and needs make me appreciate life more and for that , i can truly say i am successful and a better person.

I think this is rather normal for most people. It is more important to try to understand the challenges and move slowly toward our goals. Not always easy or forthcoming. It is important to set small goals. If our goals are too large we can become overwhelmed and lose our motivation. Small, consistant goals are important to keep us going.

sometimes i am tired of reading about success people. they are success because they won't give up. and there is a time that i feel so down and i think that i am only a looser. by the time i had that feelings, i will try to shut and think. how i will get the success? i am thinking about the step that i must take , usually by doing that my motivation could grow

Depression can make us feel in all sorts of bad ways and it will not allow us to motivate in any way. We have to fight against all odds to motivate us into feeling better about who we are regardless of our surroundings. I do hope that you can begin to feel better for you and not allow life to beat you down. I do know it is not easy but we as people have to try harder every day. Remembering that if today was a bad day, we should hope for a better one tomorrow.
