Time to get motivated. If not now, when exactly?

If not now, then when? If not you, then who? If we are able to answer these fundamental questions, then perhaps we can wipe away the blot of human slavery.

I had a really hectic past few weeks with things at work and home being super busy.
I have actually started feeling very drained and not motivated to do anything online.
So much to the point where it was easier to make excuses not to post online than actually
putting in the effort. It was just easier to make lame excuses like..

Not now maybe after coffee, or let me just browse the internet a bit trying to look for inspiration.

Let me tell you this none of this helped me in the least bit, it actually distracted me more than anything else.
A few weeks back when I have just been bitten by the Steemit bug, it was a pleasure waking up each morning to just quickly check my account or randomly during the course of the day, eagerly waiting to see if I had any comments or feedback. Being so inactive lately made me miss being on Steem.

I literally ended up having to ask myself the same question this morning when I was thinking up yet another excuse for not posting anything again.

If I don't start now, then when will I ever start again?

Below is some helpful tips I found after watching some inspirational videos over the weekend.

Believe in your dreams and goals.

If you have a dream believe that is possible to achieve it and do not put yourself down without actually even trying. This is ultimately the biggest mistake we tend to make.

Work towards achieving your goals.

We have to put time and effort into the things we want in life. Not just wait till someone hands it us.
If we want something really badly enough, we owe it to ourselves to at least try to reach or make it happen.

Stay focused on your goals.

Keep being focused on your dreams and goals and do not give up under any circumstances .
If you do not succeed at first, then try other ways to achieve your goals.

"You've only got three choices in life: Give up, give in, or give it all you've got.”

And lastly

Be patient

For everything there is a time and place. Waiting to achieve something is normally very difficult, but it is important to not let doubt and fear creep in which my distract you from your end goal.
