10 Tips to Reach Your Life Goals (4 of 6)

6. Don’t wait for something to happen, make it happen

Motivation means rather than sitting around and hoping something good happens, you make things move along through your own actions. When it comes to seizing a moment, you gain nothing by avoiding challenging situations. Don’t put things off and tell yourself that it will only happen when the time is right. With that attitude, the time will never be right. As a result, everything will screech to a halt, and you’ll feel depressed and lose all of that motivation. Overcome your fears and make the most of every opportunity.

7. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted

No matter what your objective is, there will always be obstacles and distractions in the way. This is especially true when you decide you would rather occupy yourself with work that is easy and mundane when you could be using your energy on new challenges and meaningful projects. Make a list of the tasks that are of the highest priority while eliminating everything that wastes your time.
