There will come a point in your life when you feel that everything
seems pointless. If you reach this stage, you need to try to look at
your life and start considering what things you need to do to keep the
fire in you burning. No matter how old you are, it is important to live a
life that is full and happy.
If you no longer have the fire in your burning, there is a big chance
that you will easily give up when trials and obstacles come your way.
In order to make sure that your motivation to live and love stays
strong, here are some tips.
1. Assess Your Life
The first step that you need to do is to take a look at your life.
More often than not, people who are bored and unhappy do not really know
the things that are beautiful and precious in their lives. They fail to
stop what they are doing and to find time in assessing their
achievements and losses. Once you have already determined what makes you
feel down and bored, you can start to do something about it.
2. Set Goals
Many people who experience tragic or life threatening situations can
stay strong and motivated to live because they have the reasons to
survive. A cousin of mine who was trapped in a well for three days had
the strong will to survive because his family is depending on him and he
wants to be alive when his 12-year old daughter graduates from college.
In order for you to stay motivated, you better know what you want to
get out of life. Set goals so that you have something to look forward to
in the future. Even if you are eighty years old, you can still set
goals for your life.
3. Be More Positive
One sure way that can bring your motivation down is by thinking
negatively. If you keep on thinking of the things that you cannot do and
are not capable of achieving, you will surely start wallowing in self
doubt and self pity. I once read an article about a woman born without
arms who does not only drive a car, but also flies airplanes. If she can
surpass hurdles in her life, there is no reason why you can’t do the
same.
4. Count Your Blessings
Envy is something that can really put anyone down. Once you are green
with envy, you tend to lose focus on your own goals and forget about
the good things that are happening in your life. Instead of looking at
the other side of the fence and feeling bad, you should try looking
inside your life and count your blessings. There is really nothing wrong
in admiring other people and wanting to have a comfortable life for as
long as these desires will keep you motivated in achieving your goals
and will contribute in making you live a comfortable and happy life.
5. Find a Hobby
Doing the same things over and over again can really make people
bored. One way of making your life exciting and happy is by finding a
hobby and learning new things. What you can do is to try enrolling in
classes, like dance or photography, which will help you get excited and
motivated. As for me, in order to keep me sane in a monotonous office
environment, I collect comic books and toys.
6. Don’t Be Afraid to Change
Lastly, do not be afraid to change. Simply trying a new route to the
office or eating at a new restaurant can help perk up your otherwise
boring life. Having a new haircut or trying a new hair color may seem
trivial for men, but they sure can give you a new image and make you
feel afresh.
