If you are waiting for someone to motivate you or spur you towards actions in the pursuit of your dreams, then you will wait for so long. The truth is that the greatest motivation you can have is the one that you give to yourself. A point may come when the only motivation that you need and the one that is readily available for you is the one you provide for yourself. You will be surprised how very busy others are in the the pursuit of their own dreams, and waiting for them to motivate you may not be the best idea. This is why, at any point in your life, you should find a way to provide yourself with the motivation you need.

One of the things to motivate you to act is your dream. Obviously, without having a dream and without having a goal, there will be nothing to provide you with the zeal to work and and nothing to spur you towards action. If you have ever played football in a field that does not have any goalpost for example, you will understand how tiring life without goal is. The players will run around the field and expend their whole energy, yet they will not score a point because there is no goalpost. In the same way, living a life without a goal is just merely existing because there is nothing to motivate you towards actions and towards success.
The goals may look difficult and it may be very big but it is better than not having anyone at all. At least big dreams have the power to motivate one and spur them to action. Always remember this; that something is difficult does not make it impossible and it does not mean it is not doable. So you do not have to miss an opportunity to do something because it is difficult, because that particular thing may hold the key to your breakthrough. In life, there are unlimited and eternal possibilities but it is also your absolute prerogative to keep taking actions and never see failures in failed attempts.
Once you have a dream to fulfil, your passion naturally comes alive. You will agree with me that nothing provides the kind of motivation that passion does. With passion, you resolve within your mind to hit your mark irrespective of what happens along the way. Someone with passion does not see obstacles along the way, what they see are springboard and stepping-stone towards success. If the effort you are putting in the pursuit of your goal is dwindling, then you are not passionate about it. As your passion for something increases, your effort towards that thing also increases.
The point in life when you feel like giving up or like quitting is usually the point that you should commit more efforts because you may be already close to your breakthrough. If you have ever watched the finals of a major football tournament, you will agree with me that it is usually tougher than a friendly match, especially when the match is getting close to the stopping time. This is because the league title is already in view, so every player becomes motivated by it and puts in their best. In the same way, when you begin to encounter stronger opposition or challenges, you should not give up, you only need to keep putting efforts and never quit.

To be motivated, you have to stay positive. positivity is a mindset that winners have. It does not matter what the surrounding situation may suggest and it does not matter how you feel, you can still stay positive if you choose to. This is why I have believed that positivity is a choice and not a gift. The person that has a positive mindset always sees something as possible and doable even in the midst of adversity. As a matter of fact, adversity is the condition and the catalyst that induces our ability to stretch ourselves beyond our natural limit. In conclusion, it does not matter what is happening or not happening, you can stay motivated if you choose to.
