I always remain motivated and help others to stay motivated. Motivation is something that gets reflected in results. And if you are not motivated you will lose creativity, become chaos and will divert from your goal and focus. In modern world when there are thousands of provocations which try to allure you from your goal, it’s very difficult to stay motivated. Yet, you have to be steady at your aim and need to do your work properly. Loss of motivation occurs when you easily get distracted by seeing others success, and not searching the reasons behind it. People often get jealous when they see their friends, relatives and colleagues are getting what they are not worth of. At least they start to believe that. And it is the most common syndrome for getting de-motivated. Here are a few tips which will give you enough excuses to remain motivated.
1. You are the master of your soul, servant of your wish:
You are doing what your soul says. You are neither guided by any instruction, nor by any rules. It is your destiny which is guiding you and you are a follower of it. You are ruled by your whim and there are enough reasons behind it. If you fail, it is your failure. If you succeed, the success is yours. Why should you be guided by what others are doing and what they are getting? You may earn more than them if you follow your well devised plan.
2. Don’t expect outcome

    “Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani” Do your duty and be detached from its outcome, do not be driven by the end product, enjoy the process of getting there.

This is one of the hymns of Srimad Bhagvad Gita which gives ample reasons to stay motivated. Why should you bother about the outcome? Do your own job and let the process takes its own course for the result.
3. Hand to work, Mind to God:
If you are pious, the God is there to help you. You believe that God helps you and you pray for that, yet you yourself get de-motivated by unsatisfactory results. Is it not a sacrilege that you are not trusting god? So work and think of God who might help you.
4. If they are king today, I will follow soon:
You started your work with a vision and a mission. And in that vision you never imagined what you are experiencing today. If they are king today, you can easily follow suit. You can only reach your objective when you stay focused. This is the path you perceived and so you are following it. So why should you divert?
5. Success is relative:
Who is more successful Bill Gates or Einstein? You cannot answer as success is relative. If you reach your goal, you are successful, if you can not, you are a failure. It is your own judgment which makes you successful. Some people feel money is important. So they get satisfaction by earning more and more money. Some people don’t run after money and they get satisfaction from the creative work they do. It is basically how you see the world, rather how satisfied you are with yourself.
6. Be contented:
You always think, I am in very bad position and I am sad, I am poor. Did you ever think of thousands of people who die out of starvation? Feel how good you are in comparison to them. Thank God, as you are at least getting chance to stay focused. In this poor world, thousands of people only think how they will survive the day. You are so lucky!!
7. Be optimistic:
Morning comes after night and if you are passing through your dark phases, then morning will shine soon. Optimism is what will help you to sail through. Negative attitude will only drive you towards darkness.
8. Don’t give up:
Do you remember try, try and try it again? Perseverance is what will help you in conquering and nothing else.
9. Read motivational texts:
There are enough texts available which will help you to stay motivated and keep afloat. Read all these and they will help you to stay focus even if the effect is temporary. But if you read it everyday, you will never feel disheartened.
10. ‘I am he, I am he’, I can and I will:
This is the basic mantra. See yourself as god and think you are everything. It is you, who feels that God exists and that is why god exists. If you were not here, how come God exists in you? You are the supreme and nobody else. Believe in yourself. Say everyday, I can and I will. Yes you can and you will conquer the world.

I believe if you have the perseverance, if you have the will power and if you have the zeal for success, nobody can stop you. Thousand of provocations will come and let these pass through. I am sure; one day will come when you will be the king. For the time being you may sing

    ‘We shall overcome We shall overcome We shall overcome some day…’.

One has to constantly send positive signals to oneself and not focus on the negative aspects of life. It is tough to stay motivated at all times...but definetly pays to do so.

Thanks to all!! I do feel motivation rather self motivation is the way to succeed, or even to survive. If you cannot love your work and cannot motivate yourself, you cannot survive.
