The characteristics of motivated people

So, have you ever wondered if you are someone who is highly motivated, or someone who is not?

Motivated people come from all walks of life. It can be anyone who is driven by a clear goal and has a burning desire to achieve their dreams.

And, to achieve exceptional results in life, you must develop the characteristics of a highly motivated individual:

• You must detach yourself from the ordinary to achieve the extraordinary. • You must choose to move on when others give up. • You must work harder and dare to pursue your dreams while the rest of the world is still comfortably in its cozy bed. • You must have a clear and useful purpose rather than living your life without a purpose.

So, what are the characteristics of motivated people and how can you become one?

1. They are absolutely clear about what they want: first of all, motivated people are absolutely clear about what they want in life. They are goal oriented and driven by their goal. If you want to be motivated, you need to know why you're doing what you're doing. Your purpose is the energy that sustains you when you encounter difficulties and challenges.

2. They always live their purpose: knowing what you want from your life is just the beginning. What you need to do next is to live your life according to your purpose. There's no point in dreaming about what you want, if you don't do anything about it.

Motivated people are motivated most of the time because they have programmed what they want to accomplish into their subconscious. Therefore, they can't help but constantly think about their dreams, goals, and what they want to achieve in life. You should do the same.

Make your goals and dreams your dominant thoughts for you to think about at all times. Remember, you will become what you think about most of the time.

If you are constantly thinking about enjoying life, watching a movie, and playing games, guess what, that will be exactly what will make your life. However, if you consistently hold on to the idea of achieving your goals, living your dreams, and achieving great success, you will reap great benefits.

You become goal-oriented. You will become more motivated and take action to achieve them. So be like all successful people, keep the things you want to accomplish in mind, and you will bring them into your life.

3. They ignore detractors: another trait of motivated people is that they ignore naysayers. They are so driven that they ignore the rest of the world. So ignore the naysayers and chase your dreams.

That is, if you want to be a driven person, don't listen, to what other people tell you about how to live your life. Instead, choose to listen to yourself.

Follow your heart and chase your dreams and let the rest of the world admire your success once you've done it.

4. They are always passionate and full of energy: what are the common characteristics of motivated people? They are always passionate and dynamic.

Do you live your life with passion and energy? If not, re-examine your goals and think about what you really want in your life.

Highly motivated people always live their lives with passion and seem to have all the energy in the world.

Your work is going to take up a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe to be a great job. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Do not be discouraged.

Therefore, if you want to be highly motivated, align your goals and dreams and live with passion!

5. They act massively and keep progressing: yes, motivated people are constantly on the move. They are taking massive and consistent action every day. They are constantly progressing towards their goals.

They don't just talk about their dreams; they make them come true. They dare to persevere, and they always progress.

Does that mean they make no mistakes or will never fail? Not at all. Successful people fail, but they don't stop there. They make a mistake, they learn from it, and then they keep moving forward. They don't dwell on their mistakes and failures.

Take the time to study successful people in their respective lives, you will see that they don't just talk, they act. They act despite many difficulties and challenges.

This is the kind of persona you need to embrace if you want to be a driven person who strives to achieve their dreams. Progress all the time. Get into the habit of always taking at least one step to reach the goal.

6. They dare to sacrifice and take risks: yes, motivated people dare to sacrifice themselves and they are ready to take risks.

The key to achieving the success you want in life is figuring out what you want and then getting busy paying the price to get there.

Unsuccessful people understand what they need to do to get there, but they're not willing to pay the price. Successful people, on the other hand, understand this and are willing to sacrifice themselves and pay the full price.

Those who have achieved extraordinary results in life are those who don't complain and choose to do so even when they don't feel like it.

They are motivated to achieve their goals and are absolutely committed.

Successful people are clear about the « why » of what they do. The « why » provides the deeper meaning responsible for maintaining their motivation.

They understand that they can get almost anything they want out of life, if they're willing to pay the price.

So, are you ready to do more? Are you ready to do the hard work where most people don't want to?

When you are absolutely determined to achieve what you want, you give yourself no excuses, you just accomplish. And only then will you become a motivated person who makes things happen.

7. They take full responsibility for everything that happens to them: motivated people have an « it's up to me » mentality.

They know that whatever is happening to them right now is only temporary and they are in control of changing their lives because they oversee their lives.

They are the ones who are responsible for their lives. That's why it's normal that they can be born into a poor family, but that doesn't mean they have to be poor for the rest of their lives.

They believe they are the ones who can change their destiny. And so, they make choices and decisions based on the future they want.

Of course, there are things we cannot control, such as weather, gravity, nature. But that doesn't mean we can't be responsible for what happens to us.

Even if you can't control the event, you can still control your responses.

Like this saying: I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can trim my sails to always reach my destination.

Motivated people understand that blame, excuses, and justifications are not going to help them reach a higher level. And if they want to win the game of life, they must take full responsibility for their lives.

You too should do the same. Don't blame or make excuses. Take responsibility for your life from this moment on.

8. They defer instant gratification: yes, highly motivated people know the power of gratification. When given the choice between partying and making their dreams come true, they always choose to make their dreams come true.

They understand that if they work harder now for what they want, they can enjoy it later.

Success is about making the right choices and doing the things that will get you where you want to go.

Often people choose to have instant pleasure rather than sacrifice themselves and work towards their goals.

Motivated people understand that they must work hard now and sacrifice for their future.

Remember this quote: Success is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.

Therefore, learn to defer gratification. Choose to work on what is important and not on something that gives you immediate pleasure.

So choose to defer gratification.

Work on the essentials. Work on your goals and dreams. And when you get there, you can taste the victory of your own hard work, which in itself will be far more fulfilling and enjoyable than the small gratification of the moment.

9. They work very hard: should I explain more?

Motivated people are people who work extremely hard. They choose to work on their dreams and goals whenever possible.

Rather than wasting time checking their friends for updates on Facebook, Twitter and the like, they choose to work on their goals.

They don't just waste time for anything, but they enjoy working towards their goals and chasing their dreams.

That's not to say, highly motivated people don't enjoy or don't have free time. They just work harder so they can enjoy later.

Therefore, do not be lazy. Keep doing, pushing yourself, and eventually your hard work will pay off.

10. They make mistakes and fail, but don't give up: motivated people are people who will never give up. A winner will never quit, and a quitter will never win.

The only way to achieve victory is to not give up, no matter how difficult the situation. No matter what happens, choose not to give up.

You may face failures and experience dramatic setbacks, but whatever you do, don't give up.

Motivated individuals know they are working for a greater purpose.

They don't work for the money or the car, they work for a higher purpose that motivates them internally.

And, because they are working for a purpose greater than themselves, they will not give up. They make mistakes and they fail, but they keep moving forward.
