The Secret to Motivation Is to Start Something

Motivation is tough to get and hard to maintain. It’s easy to want something, but much harder to take action toward getting it.

Why is this? The problem has many causes, but a common complaint is that people don’t know where to begin. But you really can break free with a single step.

When you start going after your goal, you will connect you with motivation. Designers of popular video games know this principle well. Games begin with the player needing to complete a task before advancing. And it’s a physiological fact that achieving that first game goal turns on the reward centers in the brain. This is the fundamental reason people feel motivated to play games for hours. They want to keep meeting new goals.  

The motivational quotes here will help you embrace the possibilities. Let the wisdom of those who have struggled and triumphed support you on your journey. 

If you worry about yesterday’s failures, then today’s successes will be few.

life coaching quote

Action steps

Whatever your goal you need to decide on what that very first task will be. A big overarching goal like writing a novel can feel overwhelming. But if you break it down into small tasks you’ll feel able to start.

For example, decide to write the first 500 words. When you do that you’ll feel good about yourself and want to do it again. You’ll feel more capable and ready to write the next part. The farther you get into a project, the more invested you are. This increases motivation too.

Staying connected with your motivation requires consistent effort. It’s a matter of overcoming inertia. That’s the concept that objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion. So if a failure starts to drag you down, don’t let it stop you. Try again.
