We get motivated when we see change happening. Even the slightest. We then come to the belief that the change we seek to make is possible.
What we want to achieve can be plotted on the axis of possibility and importance. Even unimportant things we can achieve, we might. Impossible very important things, we will try no matter what.
When we notice progress on the path to achievement, we will become more motivated. Because there’s few things more motivating than coming closer to a target.
When we’re far off of our target, we need to get motivated by the progress. Moreover, we need to fall in love with the process.
