#### Having the persistence to keep going in our daily objectives is how true success can be attained. But what should we do when we run out of 'steem' to keep going? We can all have down days when we feel discouraged or have little energy to do the same things we have been doing for months or even years. _____ With most achievements it comes down to your continued effort to have resiliency and push yourself after many failures. This is how we get it right finally, figuring out what to do and not to do. Sometimes we will have to completely get nowhere for a long time before the light bulb is turned on and it all clicks. Can you stick to your goal you set out to accomplish? This is why it is very important to have a passion for what you do, enjoy what you work on and a meaningful purpose because that is what will keep you in the game day after day. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXceXfYAEfAHh5rfyVoxnjsWVChWzDthiJ1MesJHt3vmT/image.png) # Good Goals _____ #### The right goals will drive us towards our achievements as it acts as the force of our motivation. When you have the right destination you want to travel to, it will give you the daily push to keep going because that passion will always build and stay in you. ______ This is what gets us excited and passionate as we work diligently towards our goals. We will always have a ton of enthusiasm and energy in the beginning of doing almost anything new but the things that spark your passion and heart will be able to ignite that motivation at anytime. Have goals that are important and personally mean something to yourself. If we are not consistently motivated we will suffer from burning out by trying to achieve meaningless goals. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTgCKsYouxSbzX7y1peNNRDT2qPNWrsFQ1yptq7E2q47d/image.png) # Visibility ______ #### Once you have your planned goals it is beneficial to write them down and hang them somewhere you can easily access them everyday. It will always remind you of your goal and push yourself to focus on them more. _____ It is important to take action immediately or as often as you can. Why many people are successful in the world today is because of work ethic, how much they put into what they want to accomplish. The hardest part of anything is to start working on it or continue to do so. Imagining yourself completing an important goal is another way to keep yourself strongly motivated. How does it make you feel knowing that you accomplished your goal? The feeling should jolt you and energize you to do whatever it takes to complete your daily tasks. It is a great way to tackle procrastination. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPv6pxnzaF6uxqNJtT1U2hSSVSrv1w4K7CHf5sDVME4wa/image.png) # Self-Discipline ____ #### Motivation is like fire that will come down unless you keep the wood coming. Self-Discipline is the fan that keeps the fire going and therefore you must practice this skill to keep it going everyday! _____ Strength your will power by starting the day with the most important tasks the moment you wake up. You will be more productive and effective in completing your goals with much better results. Self-Discipline is a choice that you stick to by doing whatever it takes whether you feel like it or not.

This will ultimately push you towards success and victory! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNR7WFDQ52oSSPMc7DpumhT5kBbotJXWVVjAJBtkeboK7/image.png) # Ignore the Naysayers _____ #### There may be haters along the way with a negative attitude telling you to move onto something else and basically give up. This is only there way of thinking, they are not strong willed and just give up themselves in these circumstances and why they would want you to do the same. _____ You must have tremendous trust in yourself that you will make it no matter what the challenges are. Your emotions should not be affected by setbacks or unavoidable problems in your daily life. Find certain activities that encourage you when times are dismal. Such as a small pep talk, meditation, laughing out loud at your situation or whatever you want, looking for all the optimistic reasons in where you are and why you are doing it. One thing that has always got me back to being super motivated is reading biographies or others who have had gone through such struggles to create achievements. There are a ton of these as the world was much tougher than the one we live in today. Self-Affirmation is a powerful way in overcoming your feelings of doubt or fear. Attitude is everything and by developing a positive mental attitude you will be able to develop personal and professional success and happiness! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfGSuqEzW3pciN6M9cfsG7H32J335mhwsWgCyFsA4Gkkr/image.png) # Pressure Yourself _____ #### Diamonds are made under high pressure and the same is in order to your success. To unleash your maximum potential you must pressure yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. ______ Raise your own standards, the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. Decide and commit to mastery! Make your priorities a MUST and not a should or try. You will always feel satisfied about yourself when you push yourself to perform at your very best. With whatever you are doing always tell yourself..."I am the BEST _________!" fill in the blank. This will put your brain into high productivity mode to perform the best at what you are doing. **Whatever is the first thing that came to your mind that you must complete today, get out there and do it!!** # @bitdollar **Steemit Writer** ![atitlan.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQUtCe15oEG4XU3QXMtGAetDHgf3SebcXJbLfDJGoJDeP/atitlan.jpg) > My recent trip to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala
