Motivation is what passion needs in order to give birth to success. Being passionate about something we just need that single push, that small encouragement. And once we are motivated, we become even more passionate, engage ourselves in action, thus making success inevitable.
These motivational quotes can give you the boost and make you even more hungry for success. And sometimes all we need is that hunger; hunger that will be satisfied only by action, only by progress and success.
Behind every lifestyle change we advocate here at Lifestyle Updated you will notice an almost obsessive fascination with systems and strategically deciding over our habits, routines, what makes us who we are. The reason why we are so eager to constantly parrot this around is the same reason we find responsible for success on many levels in life – it works.
Personal development is an ongoing process. A lifestyle, a set of routines, habits. And after the initial mixture of motivation and desire to do something has subsided, following through is what counts the most.
And while there are countless of tactics with the help of which you can leverage your motivation and build momentum, there is one seemingly naïve approach which is guaranteed to make a huge shift in perception.
Our actions are almost entirely dictated by the state in which we are in. And while functioning in peak state is appealing in itself, often times, regardless of the level of know-how, or determination, or being motivated, such state can subside and be replaced by feeling low. The reasons, multitude of them, can vary from the most mundane to some which carry circumstances hard to overcome.
If an alien tries to scrutinize the whole of personal development, he will guess, and not be very far off, that it is a self-centered act. Personal development, at least at its early stages, is almost entirely ego based. Later on, when things progress into giving back and contributing, it slightly changes form, but on the surface it is nothing more than a personal endeavor.
The very efficiency that personal development rests upon is, in a way, thanks to the notion above. It seems that in a situation where we are the only variable, things get quite easier to manipulate. The problem however is that we are social creatures. And this spoils the calculus.
