Welcome to this presentation of 7 characteristics of highly motivated people.
Many people struggle with motivation, they lose their mojo, and they struggle to rediscover it. Whether it's down to bad habits they have allowed to take root or they've followed bad advice, it never too late to fix the problem.
Motivation is defined as the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. If you are looking to inspire more motivation in your own life, you can seek inspiration by looking at the characteristics of highly motivated people.
The highly motivated have high self-esteem. You can't build success unless you believe you are capable of building success, and for that you need high self-esteem. Highly motivated people believe in themselves, they know their strengths, and they believe in their abilities.
Highly motivated people are happy, positive people. The success they enjoy is earned and they aren't afraid to celebrate it when it goes well. The motivated are also proud. A motivated person prides themselves on tackling new challenges and they are ready to tackle tough situations. They are prepared to take big chances and take risks.
One of the things a lot of people struggle with is reflection, but highly motivated people recognize it as part of the journey. Even when you lose, there's a lesson to walk away with and you can't learn it unless you reflect.
The highly motivated support themselves with acts of self-care and constant development. And they support others by sharing ideas and resources.
Highly motivated people are persistent; they don't just give up when the going gets tough. They find a way to renew their sense of purpose and they constantly remind themselves of the outcomes they are fighting for.
Highly motivated people maintain perspective. They don't get caught up wasting their time on things they know don't matter. They can deflect negativity, take in disappointment, and put it all into perspective.
Of course, highly motivated people are also energized – physically and mentally – and they use that energy to propel themselves forward as they chase their goals.
