We all want lasting motivation and it is easy to have it.
It is easy for psychologists to predict how successful you
will be by observing who you spend your time with. Why is
this true? Because your peer group exerts a massive
influence over your behavior and your aspirations.
This is a key to lasting motivation and beating procrastination.
If you have friends who are highly driven business people,
spend time with them whenever you want a motivational
boost. You will feel charged up and more ambitious after
meeting them. And its fun.
Of course if all you did was talk business every evening
your life would become one-dimensional pretty quickly.
At the other end of the spectrum you can also socialize
with people who drift through life with no dreams for the
future with no goals that really excite them.
Still, these are good people and you can enjoy their
company. I do know however that if you spend all your time
with your unmotivated friends you will over time question
your drive and ambition.
Eventually you will become less inclined to set inspiring
goals for the future and one day you might even give up on
wanting to grow as a person.
Who are you spending your time with? At work? In your
leisure time?
There is a time and place for everyone and you can still
enjoy the company of a wide range of people. Just bear in
mind that if you gradually spend more time with positive,
ambitious people their enthusiasm will rub off on you.
Dont believe me?
Think of the most motivated people you know! What kind of
people do they spend most of their time with?
Whenever you feel stuck and unable to spring into action
make contact with the positive, motivated people you know.
Even a phone call will help give you a boost.
If possible spend time with these dynamic people on a
regular basis to keep the momentum alive and over time you
will find it easier to adopt the habit of taking action on
your goals and dreams.
And lasting motivation will become normal for you.
