Turning Unmotivated Feelings Into Motivated Ones
by Wendi Moore
Feeling unmotivated
You can’t hit the target if you don’t aim first, and that will make you procrastinate because you don’t know where to expend your energies. If you have something you want to achieve, the clearer you are about what you want to achieve the more chance you have of achieving it. If your target is vague and/or impractical, it is so much more difficult to achieve anything - in two ways:
1. If you don’t know what your target is, how will you know when you’ve achieved it?
2. A vague target means you can’t effectively plan to achieve it.
Your dreams and ambitions won’t just land in your lap neatly gift-wrapped for your enjoyment without you having to do a thing. That very rarely happens. You are the one that has to fulfill your own ambitions. You’re the one that has to stop procrastinating and go out and do what needs to be done to get you what you want in life. That’s why targets are important.
Setting targets is quite easy, but it takes some discipline and common sense. Do you have that?
Do you want that target badly enough? There will be some hard work along the way to hitting your ultimate target. You’ve got to make sure it’s really something you want and that you’re prepared to work hard for. Is it really *your* target - or something that someone else wants you to do? If you don’t buy into that target you’ll take no enjoyment in having achieved it and the journey will seem twice as long and three times as hard with all the excuses you’ll come up with not to knuckle down and get things done.
