Begin a new project to develop a new skill you’ve never given yourself a chance at perfecting. For example, you could take guitar lessons, learn computers, pottery, paint or choose from a number of things you’ve always wanted
to do.
Learning a new skill is a highly motivational technique to prove to yourself that you can accomplish
what you set out to do – no matter how difficult. You’ll look forward to the learning process and be proud of your accomplishments as you go along
the path of learning the new skill.
Challenges are sure to pop up when you’re learning new things. It may be a small challenge compared to those you face in everyday life, but each challenge – no matter how large or small – will force you to see yourself in a new light.
You’ll realize that when you make up your mind to do something, you’ve got the determination and courage to do it no matter what the obstacles. That knowledge will spur you on to even larger
achievements.
Motivation is always within you. You just have to wake it up by doing something you want to do and
that’s challenging enough to overcome obstacles and persist to the finish line.
