<h3>Dota</h3>
<p>I have recently started playing Defense Of The Ancient (Dota) and it is a real time strategy game. This is how the game works. There are 2 sides each with 5 players in the team. Each of the player will choose and control an individual hero and the main objective is to destroy the main tower of the opposition team.<span id="more-1321"></span></p>
<p>If you want to win the game, here are some of the things that you will need to know or do</p>
<ul>
<li>Your hero&#8217;s strength and weakness</li>
<li>Keep a balance between attack and defending</li>
<li>Teamwork and communication</li>
<li>Strategies and planning</li>
<li>Items to buy</li>
<li>Be observant and be aware of your surroundings</li>
</ul>
<h3>What You Can Learn From Dota</h3>
<h5>Your hero&#8217;s strength and weakness</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.</em></p>
<p><em>~ Sun Tzu</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In Dota, you will need to know what are the strengths of your hero, the things they are capable of doing and their weakness. You need this information so that you can play to your strength and minimize your weakness. Trying to pump skills that your hero is weak in will take too much effort and time and most of the time you will only receive mediocre results. If you are playing as a hero who has great strength and low mana pool for magic, it doesn&#8217;t really make sense to put in all the effort to turn him into a character who uses magic. It  will be much more easier to train him in terms of strength where he can really excel.</p>
<p>In real life, you will need to find out your strength and play to it. Instead of trying to turn your weakness into your strength, why not minimize your weakness but spend most of your effort to work on your strength? This will help u to use the least amount of effort to attain the maximum result. It is a classical example of the <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/857/are-you-using-the-80-20-principle-in-your-life/" target="_blank">80/20 principle.</a></p>
<h5>Know when to attack and when to defense</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>“Work, love and play are the great balance wheels of man&#8217;s being”</em></p>
<p><em>~ Orison Swett Marden</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In an hour long game, there will be multiple times when you will take turns attacking and defending. However the team will lose if they only know how to attack and neglect about defending and vice versa. Dota is a game where you need to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/443/what-everyone-ought-to-know-about-renewing-yourself/" target="_blank">strike a balance</a> in attacking and defending in order to win.</p>
<p>In our life, there are examples where we spend too much time in ether side and that can cause us our downfall. If you are always &#8220;defending&#8221; in life, that means you are playing too timid and staying too much in your own safety zone, you will lose out the chance to win. How about spending too much time in &#8220;attack&#8221;? If you are spending too much time on trying to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/586/how-to-achieve-success-in-everything/" target="_blank">achieve success</a> in your career but you forget about your family and friends which are things that are also important, your success will be meaningless. You wouldn&#8217;t want to return back home with lots of money but without anyone to celebrate with.</p>
<h5>Teamwork and communication</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”</em></p>
<p><em>~ George Bernard Shaw</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Because it is a 5 v 5 game, you need to have great teamwork and <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/410/handling-resistance-solving-problems/" target="_blank">communication</a> in order to win the game. You wouldn&#8217;t want to go out to attack while your team mate is trying to flee away, leaving you alone to face 5 opponent heroes at the same time(My teammate had scolded me for leaving him behind before). The lesson for this point is always let your team mates know what you want to do and also what you are thinking instead of assuming that they know what you are thinking.</p>
<p>There are too much time when we assumed that others knew our thoughts. This will lead us to lots of misunderstanding. If you are working in a team, you will need to hone your communication skills as it can help you to clear up lots of misunderstanding and get things done in the most efficient way. One way you can use to communicate better is to not to assume. Do not assume that others knew what you want, instead deliver the information in a clear and concise way to them. You can tell them to paraphrase what you had said to ensure that they had understood it.</p>
<h5>Strategies and planning</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>“It pays to plan ahead. It wasn&#8217;t raining when Noah built the ark.”</em></p>
<p><em>~ Anonymous</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you do not plan ahead to attack in Dota, you will find your team mate confused and they will stay idle waiting for something to happen. That means that there is a high possibility that your team mates will be outnumbered when engaging the enemy as the attack will not be in sync. All these can be prevented by planning ahead, so that all 5 of you can attack at the same time.</p>
<p>You will need a plan if you want to have a successful attack and it is the same if you want successful results in your life. A good plan can help you to have a vision of what you want and it also act as a guide for you to follow.</p>
<h5>Items to buy</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>A fool and his money are soon parted</em></p>
<p><em>~Anonymous</em></p></blockquote>
<p>There are lots of items in Dota but they are not meant for every hero. You do not really need some of those items and if you spend huge amount of money on those items, you are basically wasting your hard earned money.</p>
<p>There are times when we spend our money on things that we don&#8217;t really need and it sucks money out of our pocket. Those are liabilities. If we <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/500/how-to-spend-money-like-the-rich/" target="_blank">spend too much money</a> on getting a cell phone, new car or branded goods every now and then, we will not have enough resources to buy assets. So what are assets? As what Robert Kiyosaki said, &#8220;Assets are things that are putting money into your pocket.&#8221; Assets such as properties, stocks, books and etc are what we should be accumulating as they are able to provide additional streams of income.</p>
<h5>Be observant and be aware of your surroundings</h5>
<blockquote><p><em>The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word &#8216;crisis.&#8217; One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger &#8211; but recognize the opportunity.<br />
~ John F. Kennedy</em></p></blockquote>
<p>One unwritten rule of the game is you must always pay attention to your mini map. The mini map shows you the whole picture of the game and you will need to check it out frequently to be aware of the positioning of your allies and enemies. If you pay attention to the mini map, you can also look out for opportunities to help gank (double team) an enemy&#8217;s hero. Which means that you will get more kills, money and experience.</p>
<p>First of all, I would like to test how observant you are and your awareness of your surroundings. Do you know which light is on the top of the traffic light? Is it the red or the green? I believe most of you have hesitated before answering even though you cross the road everyday. The answer is red. Did you get that right? If you answered correctly without any hesitation, congrats! Most people are not sure about the answer and you will be among the minority if you got that right.</p>
<p>In the real world, there are lots of opportunities that are waiting for us to grab it. All we need to do is to be aware of the opportunities around us. Living without any awareness of the surroundings means that we will miss out on chances that can be our &#8220;<a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/609/how-to-be-lucky-using-10-simple-steps/" target="_blank">lucky break</a>&#8220;. My favorite example of how awareness can help one to be rich is the mistake prone secretary who created the correction fluid which  turn out to be a million dollar product.</p>
<p>Start by consciously choosing to be aware of your surroundings until it becomes a habit. It helps if you stay curious and slow down your pace of life. Rushing from one place to another or working on one task after another without resting can cause our mind to work in a subconscious way, which means that you will not be aware of what is happening around you.</p>
<h3>Parting Words</h3>
<p>I really enjoy playing games on my PC or Xbox360 and I find that I can always learn something from it. Most people think that playing games are a waste of time but I hope this article can change their thoughts. By the way, did I mention that I saw a research that state people who play games have a higher possibility of achieving better results in their career? <img src='http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="6 Things That I Had Learnt From Playing Games" /> </p>

<h3>Mediocrity</h3>
<p>Have you ever thought about why are there some people so successful yet others are stuck in mediocrity? There may be many reasons. It may be the difference in skills, talent or living environment and etc. But sometimes I wonder are these the real reasons that cause people to be mediocre? <span id="more-1304"></span></p>
<p>I believe everyone have one skill or another that they are particularly good at. Even if they are not a master at it, they can still choose to polish their skills. How about talent? I had read this in one of Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s book (can&#8217;t really remember which one, I think it is Outliers), it says that somebody had gathered a group of geniuses and tried to train them to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/939/how-to-use-momentum-to-help-you-achieve-success/" target="_blank">achieve success.</a> However the project turned out to be a <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/918/7-failures-that-end-up-successful/" target="_blank">failure</a> because only a low percentage of those geniuses turned out to be successful. The others failed to achieve much success and some even end up working in low end jobs. Those are the talented people who had failed and this shows that talent doesn&#8217;t equals to everything.</p>
<p>Unconducive living environment may cause us to be stuck in mediocrity but I have my doubts about it too. There are so many successful people who came from poor living environment and probably one of the famous example would be Oprah.</p>
<p>So what is the reason that cause mediocrity?</p>
<h3>The Reason Is&#8230;</h3>
<p>I believe mediocrity will only happen<strong> when one settles for mediocrity.</strong> Talent, skills and living environment are factors that don&#8217;t really matter when compared to your mindset. Those who settle for mediocrity will eventually become mediocre no matter how talented they are. Those who chose to settle for something lower than their expectations will always achieve lesser. This means that you can avoid mediocrity if you choose not to settle for mediocrity.</p>
<h3>5 Ways To Avoid Mediocrity</h3>
<h5>1. Have A Dream</h5>
<p>A dream is needed for you to avoid mediocrity as it allows you to have something to work towards to. This means that we are moving forward instead of staying idle. You should always keep your dream in mind and constantly remind yourself to achieve it. Now is a good time to think about what you really want in your life. What is it that you truly enjoy doing that you would do it even if you are not getting paid for it?</p>
<h5>2. Do Things Differently</h5>
<p>If you do what others think you should be doing, what results do you think you will get? Results that are the same as others! So if you want to get out of mediocrity and get excellent results, then do things that are different from what others are doing that get them mediocre results.</p>
<h5>3. Get Out Of Your Safety Zone</h5>
<p>Are you staying too much in your <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/1106/how-to-conquer-your-fear-in-4-simple-steps/" target="_blank">safety zone?</a> If you are spending too much time in your safety zone, that means you are losing out opportunities that can take you a level forward to your success. If you find yourself getting bored over things that you are doing now, most probably you are staying in your safety zone and not doing anything to move into a new level of playing field. It is the same as basketball game. If you spend too much time defending in your own zone, how are you going to score at the other end?</p>
<h5>4. Do Something Challenging</h5>
<p>When we start to slack and want avoid doing things that are hard, we tend to move into a slump in our life. In life, things that are worth doing are things that are hard to do. Things that are hard to do also guarantee you the best benefits. Someone who is able to repair an air plane will receive better salary than someone who can repair a coffee machine. A cab driver will not earn as much as a F1 racer. Enough said, you get the point.</p>
<h5>5. Do Not Settle For Less</h5>
<p>This is the point where I want to emphasize on. If you want to avoid mediocrity, don&#8217;t ever settle for anything less than what you really want. By not settling for less, you tend to get what you want if you can persevere on. Think about it, when you are a child and you really want something, you will throw a tantrum, cry or scream and do what ever it takes to convince your parents to buy it for you. Most probably your parents will give up and give in to you.</p>
<p>How about now? Think about the item you had bought recently. Most probably that is the item that you truly want and you do not want to settle for anything for less. Maybe it is your favorite dress, IT gadgets or your new car? Most of the time you will get the things when you want it badly, isn&#8217;t that right? You will get things you really want it. But you will fail to get it when you don&#8217;t truly want it and start to settle for less.</p>
<h3>Parting Words</h3>
<p>Nobody wants to be mediocre. It is something that everyone will try to avoid it. Everyone wants to have results and success in life but only a minority amount of people will achieve it. You can be the among the minority if you think big, persevere and don&#8217;t settle for anything lesser. This mindset will help you break out of the mediocrity and help you achieve what you have always wanted to achieve.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.<br />
Bertrand Russell</em></p></blockquote>
<h3>Mental Barriers</h3>
<p>The above video remind us how Roger Bannister refuse to accept the belief that it is impossible to complete a mile under 4 minutes and finally achieved it. He completed a mile under 4 minutes which no body thought was possible because he relentlessly trained to achieve it without giving regards to the thoughts of others.<span id="more-1290"></span></p>
<p>There are many times when we let down ourselves by listening too much to others. Others may had failed in their ventures and they will tell you that they had tried doing something that doesn&#8217;t work. The worst scenario is that we believe so strongly in them and adopt their negative mindset which create huge obstacles for ourselves.</p>
<h3>Beliefs are not 100% true</h3>
<p>I believe many of us will hear about running a business is hard, creating an online business is just a scam and the stock market is only for the rich. These are just <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/333/how-changing-your-beliefs-can-bring-you-success-part-1/" target="_blank">beliefs</a> of others that had previously failed and did not try again to make it work. Why am I so sure about it? Because I see others have created successful businesses, there are successful online business being created and there are also people who start out from nothing and <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/319/successful-millionaire/" target="_blank">got rich</a> by investing in the stock market.</p>
<p>If you are procrastinating on doing something that you truly love and believe that it will work, why let others stop you from doing it? Others may not have even walk down the path that you intended to walk and they may just be telling you that it is not possible because they <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/918/7-failures-that-end-up-successful/" target="_blank">failed to achieve</a> it or they are telling you what they have heard in the cafe. Can you even believe in the chatters that they had overheard in the cafe?</p>
<p>If you want to do something but others are telling you not to do it, first of all, look for <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/586/how-to-achieve-success-in-everything/" target="_blank">successful evidences.</a> If there are others who have walked down the path you intended to walk and succeeded, it means that what you plan on doing is possible. The second step you would need to do is to seek them out and learn from them. Tap into their brain and know what is the blueprint for their success. Their knowledge will help you to cut short your learning curve.</p>
<h3>Parting Words</h3>
<p>Even if you plan on doing something that no others had succeeded, such as the example of Roger Bannister, you can always try it out and see how it goes. If Thomas Edison and the Wright brothers have never tried to create the light bulb and build the air plane respectively, we will not have the luxury of having light in our house at night or traveling to other countries by plane.</p>
<p>Do not allow beliefs of others to stop you from doing what you want to do. If you want to know whether anything will work out, the only way for you to verify it is to take action and do it. I hope you pick up something from this article and the most important lesson of today is to remember that you are your biggest obstacle and choose carefully who to listen to.</p>

<h3>Michael Jordan</h3>
<p>If we want to achieve great results and be successful in life, we need to learn from those who had been there and done that. Michael Jordan has the qualities to be successful and he is definitely a great role model that we can learn from.</p>
<p>Michael Jordan is a guy who was cut out of his varsity basketball team because he was deemed too short to play at 1.8 meter but he turned out to be highly successful in his basketball career and was known as a legend in the game.</p>
<p>He had showed the mental toughness to bounce back from failure and here are 7 lessons we can learn from him.<span id="more-793"></span></p>
<h3>7 Lessons We Can Learn From Michael Jordan</h3>
<h5>1. Our Own Expectation</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.&#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>A common trait between the <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/586/how-to-achieve-success-in-everything/" target="_blank">successful people</a> in life is that they always have high expectations of themselves. We may say that this is one of the core attributes that we need in order to achieve success. When we expect a certain standard of ourselves, regardless of high or low, we will fall into them naturally.</p>
<p>Michael Jordan expect himself to be the best in the game, that is why he spent countless hours practicing to bring out the best in him. He can definitely cut back on his practice hours and spend his time on other activities but his expectation of himself to be the best doesn&#8217;t allow it.</p>
<h5>2. Do not fear failure</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I&#8217;ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I&#8217;ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I&#8217;ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.&#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>Most people are afraid of failing. They are so fearful of failure that it halt all their action but the funny thing in life is that if we do not take any action, we are doom for failure. Contradicting isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Failure is part of success. We can actually perceive failure as a feedback and the feedback works as a reminder to tell us something is wrong and we need to fix it. Failure doesn&#8217;t condemn us, it is just Nature&#8217;s way of telling us to fix something that isn&#8217;t right.</p>
<h5>3. Just Try</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can&#8217;t accept not trying.&#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>We won&#8217;t know the results until we give it a try and that is why we must always try something before we come out with 101 reasons of why we can&#8217;t do it. There will be obstacles along the journey when you are trying to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/786/who-else-want-to-know-the-benefits-of-taking-initiative/" target="_blank">achieve results</a>, but don&#8217;t let those obstacles stop you from trying. Everyone has their fair share of obstacles and obstacles are meant to be conquered.</p>
<h5>4. Don&#8217;t Give Up</h5>
<p>Michael Jordan never give up and that is why he is being regarded as a legend in the basketball game and not a drop out of the varsity basketball team. He was cut from the varsity team but that doesn&#8217;t mean the end of his dream. Instead of whining and complaining, he doubled his effort in training and made it into his varsity roster.</p>
<h5>5. Hard Work</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. &#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>There isn&#8217;t any successful people in the world that don&#8217;t put in hard work to achieve what they have today. In order to collect your harvest, you need to put in the effort to sow first. That is the Law of Nature. If we want to achieve something, just put in the hard work and the results will definitely come.</p>
<h5>6. Make Things Happen</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.&#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>Dreaming allow us to think of the wonderful possibilities that can happen to us but a dream is just a dream. We can spend all day long day dreaming and wish things could happen but things won&#8217;t happen without us lifting a finger. Dreams are there to inspire us but don&#8217;t just wish that something would happen, make it happen by taking massive action.</p>
<h5>7. Passion</h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Even when I&#8217;m old and grey, I won&#8217;t be able to play it, but I&#8217;ll still love the game.&#8221;<br />
Michael Jordan</p></blockquote>
<p>It is hard to be successful in things that you do not have passion in because it tends to bore you in the long run. People who are highly successful today have great passion in the things they do. Donald Trump love to close his deals, Warren Buffett love to invest and would tap dance to work everyday and Michael Jordan just love his game.</p>
<p>Find things that excite you and strive to achieve excellent results in it. You will find it a lot more easier to be successful in that field because your passion will help to lift you even when the chips are down.</p>
<h3>Parting Words</h3>
<p>There are lots of role model in this world that we can learn from and Michael Jordan is one of them. He had shown us that achieving is possible and all we need is to believe in our own capabilities, don&#8217;t be fearful of failure and work hard to achieve results. If you want to achieve more out of your life, the teachings of the 7 lessons above will definitely help.</p>
<p>To your success,<br />

<h3>Newspaper Anyone?</h3>
<p>Recently I have just canceled my daily newspaper subscription and I think that it will be a good time to write an article about it. I believe most of us read news daily either from the papers, magazines or through the internet but I wonder if it is really necessary for us to take in all the news that are available?<span id="more-1270"></span> I started reading the newspaper regularly about a few years ago and it is an easily accessible source of information for me as I have a subscription to it. However I have started to question myself on the need to consume all the news in the papers after I had read the book <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/books/4-hour-work-week" target="_blank">The 4 Hour Work Week</a> by <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/" target="_blank">Tim Ferriss.</a></p>
<p>In his book, he talked about a point regarding about information overloading. He mentioned that he do not read any newspaper online or offline as he found that this activity does not help to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/718/the-power-of-creating-value/" target="_blank">add value</a> into his life. This idea of his leads me to think hard about why I am reading the newspaper in the first place. I began to search for the reasons of why I was reading the newspaper and here are the reasons.</p>
<ol>
<li>To be aware of what is happening around the world</li>
<li>To appear knowledgeable</li>
<li> Reading for the sake of reading since the papers are delivered to my doorstep everyday</li>
<li>Keeping track of the financial market</li>
</ol>
<h3>Do I really need the daily newspapers?</h3>
<p><strong>Reason #1 and #2: To be aware of what is happening around the world and to appear knowledgeable</strong></p>
<p>I am still in a debate with myself on the subject, do I really need to be aware of what is happening around the world? I do not know whether it is good that I am constantly reminded about swine flu and using it as a topic to chat with others. If you have read or watched <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/101/what-is-the-secret/" target="_blank">The Secret</a>, you will know about the Law Of Attraction(LOA) and the LOA states that what you focus on will expand. So on this point, I think that reading the newspapers which are obviously filled with negative news is not really adding any value to me.</p>
<p>It also does not make sense that I am reading the newspaper to try to impress others that I know what is happening around the world. Isn&#8217;t it better if I can impress others with true skills and knowledge instead of boasting about my knowledge of the negative news I gained from the papers?</p>
<p><strong>Reason #3:Read for the sake of reading</strong></p>
<p>Since the papers are delivered to my doorstep, I find it hard not to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/284/are-your-reading-enough/" target="_blank">read</a> them because it is easily accessible, the papers cost money and not reading them seems like a waste of money. Reading for the sake of reading seems lame to me as I am actually repeating an action subconsciously(or we can say sleepwalking in life).</p>
<p><strong>Reason #4: Keeping track of the financial market</strong></p>
<p>This is the biggest hurdle I faced when I decided to give up on newspaper. I invest in the stock market and  I need to monitor the market for opportunities to jump into it. The newspaper is the biggest source of information for me to find the right opportunities to enter the market. Giving up on the newspaper may mean that I will lose track of the market. I do not really know if it will affect me in the long term but I believe I can always keep track of the market through online methods to search for opportunities which are much more efficient and effective compared to reading the newspaper. I have adopted the style of value investing and this style of investing helps as I do not need to track the market as tediously as compared to others who are doing trading. If you are interested in learning more about value investing, I strongly recommend you to read the book <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/books/intelligent-investor ">The Intelligent Investor</a> by Benjamin Graham.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>I predict that giving up on the newspaper won&#8217;t have any major effect on me. As a matter of fact, I have not read any papers for a week now and I do not really miss it. Instead, I found new free time that I can use to work on things that truly matters.</p>
<p>I wonder what my readers think about this discussion. Do you read the newspaper everyday? If yes, is it really adding value to your life and helping you in one way or another. Do you think reading the newspaper is really necessary? There is no right or wrong answers but it is definitely a good question to ask. I look forward to your comment in the comment section below.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />

<h3>Motivation</h3>
<p>If you want to excel in life, you will need to be able to motivate yourself. There will definitely be tough times when everything seems to be going against you and you will be too tired to carry on what you are doing. If you do not know how to motivate yourself to carry on, most likely you will quit what you are doing and fail to enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Here are the steps that I have used to motivate myself and I found it effective.<span id="more-1093"></span></p>
<h5>1. Goal Setting</h5>
<p>First of all, you need to have something that you want to achieve. Set goals that you truly want and not because others want it and you want to follow what they are doing. More often than not, people fail to motivate themselves to achieve their goals because the goals they set are not truly what they want.</p>
<h5>2. Reasons</h5>
<p>You always need to know the reason behind setting your goal. Are you trying to <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/popular-articles/" target="_blank">lose weight</a> because you want to be like the model in the magazine or it is because others are poking fun at your huge waist line. You need to know what is the reason that makes you set your goals and this will be your main source of motivation.</p>
<h5>3. Write Down Your Goals and Reasons</h5>
<p>Write down all your goals and the reasons of why you want to achieve it. Paste it some where that you can see it easily. This will help to remind you of your goals daily so that you will not lose your <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/783/how-to-stay-focused-and-achieve-great-results/" target="_blank">focus.</a></p>
<h5>4. Baby Steps</h5>
<p>It is discouraging to try to achieve a huge goal in a short frame of time. Break down your goals into bite size nuggets so that you won&#8217;t be discouraged when trying to achieve it.</p>
<h5>5. Get an accountability partner.</h5>
<p>This is a great way to help you get motivated. <a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/1006/the-trick-to-achieve-more-success-holding-yourself-accountable/" target="_blank">Get an accountability partner</a> and tell them about your goals. Tell them of a punishment you will accept if you fail to achieve your goals at your deadline. Do not set a deadline too far away in time because it will cause you to lose your focus easily and it doesn&#8217;t creates a sense of urgency. I always set 30 days deadline for my mini-goals because 30 days isn&#8217;t too long to cause us to lose focus or too short to achieve results.</p>
<h5>6. What You Have To Gain and What You Have To Lose</h5>
<p>Whenever you don&#8217;t feel motivated to do your tasks, it may be because that the tasks are too huge. If it is, refer back to step number 4 and break the tasks into smaller sizes. Another way to motivate yourself to start taking action when you don&#8217;t feel like doing it is to remember what you have to gain if you take action and what is it you may to lose if you did not take action.</p>
<p>For example, if your goal is to lose 30 lbs and you break your goals into smaller sizes such as exercising for 30 &#8211; 45 minutes for everyday. Whenever you do not feel like following your exercise routine, think about what you will have to gain and what you have to lose will help you to weigh the consequences of your decision which will motivate yourself to take action.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Example</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1095" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="table-optimized" src="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/table-optimized.jpg" alt="table optimized How To Motivate Yourself In 6 Simple Steps" width="316" height="245" /></em></p>
<h3>Parting Words</h3>
<blockquote><p><em>People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents. ~ Andrew Carnegie</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Nobody wants mediocrity and knowing how to motivate yourself can help you to take more action to escape the world of mediocrity. Learn how to motivate yourself now and let your own motivation help you to achieve your desired success in life.</p>
<p>To your success,<br />
