Being motivated is a necessity to get where you want.
Every failure starts with being demotivated. A thousand reasons why one can't do it. The path to success is not always smooth, it is not all the fairy we imagine in our head. It takes a man with a heightened spirit, motivated by his desire to win and the willingness to go through all the tough moments unwavering by critics and ridicules. All we need to take one more step at any moment is motivation, either by the things we hope for or by the things and people around us. Being motivated is a necessity to get to where we want.
Every successful man had one thing in common, beyond the ridicules, failures, trials, and weariness, they were motivated to keep pushing and this had been the secret to success from time past. One can not go far with a demotivated spirit in achieving his goal.
HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED
Everyone has one or more ways to stay motivated. This could be a hard task especially when everything we rely on fails. Great men at one point felt like giving up, they remained lonely at the top, but somehow they found a way to stay motivated even when nobody saw the potential in them. They were able to stay through because they practiced what others may not have and one of them is "Believing in their dreams" even when others did not.
One of the ways I stay motivated is holding onto something that keeps me motivated. The secret to staying motivated is having a reason why giving up is not an option, this can be "why you've started, how much and how far you've gone, the people depending on you, and gazing at the future the proposed project will bring". It's not enough to have shortsightedness while pursuing a goal, looking at the future impact and result is what matters most.
