8 Things Highly Motivated People Do Differently. by KunAviero(m): 4:14pm On Sep 18, 2014
Everyone has a burning drive inside of them. For some, they need to learn
from others to find it. For others, the drive comes naturally and
pushes them to do great things. See what those naturally highly motivated
people do differently and what they can teach us.
1. They move on
Highly motivated people don’t dwell on problems. If they mess up on a
speech in public, fail a test, or do something embarrassing, they don’t try
to push it away. They don’t let their mistakes stop them from achieving
their goals. Instead, they look at these mistakes as nothing but
simple moments in their life. They accept them, learn from them, and
move to the next thing on their to-do list.
“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on
the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it.
You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of
your space.” - Johnny Cash
2. They wake up early
For most people, the morning is the most productive time of the day.
While the world sleeps, highly motivated people are getting things done.
Distractions seem to disappear and great ideas will come fast in early
morning.
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
– Benjamin Franklin
3. They read…a lot
When Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were asked if they could have one
super power they answered the same thing: to be able to read faster.
Highly motivated people are always learning. Reading allows one to take
in the knowledge of some of the smartest people who have ever lived.
Highly motivated people don’t spend much time watching reality TV –
they do, however, spend their time reading. Need some books to read? Get
started with these 21 amazing autobiographies.
4. They plan
Highly motivated people don’t leave things up to chance. Planning allows
people to get things done faster and better. Highly motivated people know
this, and they make use of it. Start waking up and planning all the things
you have to do for the day. You’ll be amazed at how much more
productive you are.
5. They set goals
Highly motivated people are always working for something. They know
what they want, and they search for ways to achieve it. Life hack is filled
with great articles on setting goals. Check out this one and start working
for something.
6. They seek advice when needed
There will be points in everyone’s life where they just can’t do it on their
own. Highly motivated people are not afraid to go out and look for help.
They don’t let stubbornness keep them from reaching their goals.
Oftentimes, the best resource can be a person you see everyday. Help them
and they’ll help you. Yes, it’s that simple.
7. They are grateful
Gratefulness has been shown to improve happiness time and time again.
Highly motivated people know this and they practice gratefulness all the
time. It helps keep them grounded and reminds them that they also
had some help. Try to write down 5 things you’re grateful for every day. It
doesn’t matter if they’re big or small – just 5 things you’re grateful for.
8. They don’t set limits
Highly motivated people never stops trying. They pursue their dreams
without worry. Limits don’t exist in their minds. Take a second and
imagine where you want to be in 5 years. Don’t worry about how
impossible it sounds. Remember, highly motivated people don’t set limits.
Now write it down. A highly motivated person would hang that piece of
paper up, read it every morning, and work towards it every day. Source: .com
