Maria Duval - Staying motivated each day for Success

A lot of people know what they want in life. Hey, isn't that a good thing? A goal in life and you know where you to go to. However, a vital ingredient is missing. That is - MOTIVATION! Do you have the motivation to drive you towards your goal? A lot of people attended courses and read motivational books, and while that is good, the drive fizzled down after a couple of weeks. Who isn't guilty of this lack of motivation? I am a good example.

After what I learn from Maria Duval, I know that to achieve constant successes, you need to learn how to stay motivated for every moment of your life. Learn to take charge of your life and how to "program" your mental state. I think that's one of the best lessons in life one can receive.

Maria Duval says the first thing each day is to check your emotions and tell yourself to be motivated at all times. I know that's not possible however, just do your best.

Let me give you some examples why emotions can go haywire. Let say you get up in the morning at 6am because you need to send your kids to their schools 20 km away from home. Feeling sleepy and then you hit onto a traffic jam! How are you supposed to keep your emotions in check in such situation? It gets worse and you got reprimanded by your boss for not able to keep the positions well when you know you have done your best. In such scenario even I will be feeling disgruntled whole day.

But let say tell yourself constantly in your mind that no matter what happens, you want to stay calm and cheerful. In this case, your mind will be strong enough to fend off whatever external negative influences. It's like there is all powerful force that you can program.

That is why you have to learn the basic of motivation. You need to control your own emotions. Unless you know how to manage your emotions, you will never achieve much more in your life.

Similarly if you wish to achieve success, you need to stay motivated at all times. The moment you have a wavering mind about your vision, your motivation level will drop by its own when self doubt crops in.

Thus, learn to control your emotions from now on. This is the fundamental of motivation.
