Live Success by Killing the Poisons of Motivation

Get motivated every day, without motivation you can’t every live your success. Here we are listing you The Top 5 Poisons of Motivation, the ones that spoil your urge to get motivated. Find them out and make sure you do well.

1. Perfectionism
When you get caught up in ideals, you create resistance that gets in the way of your motivation. You’re stuck focusing on the ideal and think “If it’s not perfect, why bother?” We’re so addicted to this in our society. We feel that getting the best grades, getting the awards, getting all these accolades defines us and holds the basis of our self-worth. Thomas Edison invented 3,000 duds before he invented the light bulb. He himself did not call it failure. Instead, he said: “Any of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”Taking imperfect action is the best starting point.

2. Comparing yourself to others
This is another potent motivation-zapper. Even worse, it can prevent you from finding your own path. Motivation is truly personal. Study what motivates others as inspiration, but if it gets you stuck or moving backwards with doubt, then why bother? It’s easy to get lost in someone else’s life, wishing that it was your own. The universe made you perfect. Ignoring that and trying to emulate someone else is a slap in the face.

3. Thinking that you’re not ‘good enough’
We understand that in your work you have to show your abilities or your skills to prove you can deliver. But you shouldn’t rely on that for self-validation. If you’ve been told you’re not good enough, we understand the programming. It hurts and digs deep. But make no mistake: it’s a LIE. You have to be motivated to fulfill your soul’s desire, to create your own happiness, healing and harmony.

4. Doing too much at once.
Bitten off more than you can chew? That might be sabotaging your progress. You’ve got to pull back a little bit and really look at what’s going on. Don’t be a slave to your ego. If you feel that it’s too overwhelming, take one step at a time. Take baby steps that are the solution here to your goal, desire, or dream. Life will happen. It will always take more time, more money or more anything than you anticipated.

5. Excuses
There is always an excuse – why you can’t do it, why today it didn’t happen, how you’re going to do it tomorrow. When we find excuses for not doing things, we’re rebelling. We just want to stay in a comfort zone.

See how this comes up again?  A part of it is that your ego feels threatened by moving forward and wants to protect you. But really, you’re totally safe.  Try it, you may be surprised, and bust a limiting belief.
