Motivation and Goal Setting

• By Lin Lawson

Motivation

• No one can teach you how to think, you must
  motivate yourself to learn how to learn!
• You are your own motivator.
• Your motivation must come from within yourself.
  Others may try to encourage you, but you are the
  only one who can attain what you desire. You must
  convince yourself - you can!

Motivation Partner

• Start with surrounding yourself with positive
  people. They will encourage and nurture you.
• Stay away from negative people because they will
  discourage you and sabotage your dreams and
  goals.

Goal Setting

• If you don't know where you are going, you're
  likely to wind up somewhere else!
• Think of a goal as your final destination, if you
  dont know what your final destination is, there
  is no way to plan on how to get there.
• Goal Success

Have a Goal

• Goals are like road maps they get you from one
  point to another.
• Goals provide the direction you need to reach
  your destination, the motivation to sustain you
  on your trip, and a way to measure your progress.
  
• The best way to get results is to plan for the
  future, but live one day at a time.

Goals

• Write a letter of intent to yourself, date it,
  and sign it. Put this letter some place where you
  will see it everyday. Go to a friend or fellow
  student and make a commitment to each other. It
  helps to be accountable to someone else.
• If you develop your dreams into goals, and your
  goals into realities, then your realities will
  become your successes!
