Motivation And Momentum
One of the most difficult parts of goal achievement is simply getting
started. It’s easy enough to dream and plan, but many people get stuck
in this phase indefinitely and avoid taking action. Planning and
dreaming might make you feel like you’re doing something about your
goals, but if you never actually take a step forward you’ll never
achieve them. In order to see measurable progress, you have to step out
of your comfort zones and take action.
When you finally do gather your courage and begin moving forward, what
usually happens? You realize it’s WAY harder than you thought it would
be, right? It feels like you’re trying to run uphill. You keep tripping
over obstacles, facing setbacks and delays, dealing with fear and
anxiety, and fighting a daily battle to stay motivated.
It’s during this difficult phase that most people give up. They decide
that “it isn’t meant to be” right now, so they set their dream aside and
vow to try again later. Or worse, they resign themselves to a mediocre
life because they don’t believe they have what it takes to succeed.
They’ve “failed,” so they’re not going to try any more.
Have you done this? Most people have!
However, this doesn’t have to be the end of the story. You can pick up
your dreams, dust them off and try again. But this time you should know
about a little something called Momentum.
You see, the difficult phase I just described is what happens at the
beginning when you’re trying to gain momentum. Most people quit during
this phase because they think it’s ALWAYS going to be this hard. What
they don’t realize is that every effort they put toward the achievement
of their goals will build on the previous efforts. With every step
forward the process gets easier and easier. Finally, they’ve put so much
energy and effort into the process that momentum begins to take over.
Suddenly they realize that they don’t have to push so hard to keep
moving forward. It becomes fun . . . even easy to achieve their goal.
This same experience can be yours! All you have to do is keep moving
forward. Keep working toward your dreams and never quit. Momentum WILL
take over eventually!
If you want to get momentum working even more quickly for you there are
a few ways to do it, but they can be summed up in one sentence:
Be willing to work harder, faster and take bigger risks than you have in
the past.
The reason why momentum can be delayed sometimes is because many people
take very tentative steps toward their goals. They’re afraid to really
give it their all, so they hold back much of the energy and power they
could be devoting toward their goal. Even if they’re not aware of it,
they may feel more comfortable working at a slower pace, so they avoid
taking big risks and instead take baby steps.
There’s not a thing wrong with this approach if it suits you! However,
if you want to make faster progress and build momentum quickly, think
about taking bigger steps and giving your full energy and focus toward
making it happen. By doing so, you’ll push through the difficult
beginning and find yourself coasting before you know it.
