When you go to school, there’s a teacher who serves as your motivator. When you have a boss, he’s there to hold you accountable. Consequently, most people don’t neglect their responsibilities at school or at work – or at least they won’t struggle with them as much as with their own personal resolutions.

When you’re the only person to report to, it’s easy to give up, cheat, or otherwise find a way to not stick to your goals. Self-motivation can be tricky, but it isn’t impossible.

One of the most powerful ways to keep yourself motivated is to come up with a strong reason why for what you want to achieve. To make it sufficiently powerful enough to carry you through obstacles and setbacks, your motivation should benefit others and come from the inside (meaning you aren’t doing it to impress others or just as a way to get recognition).

For example, in weight loss, a more powerful reason to keep going than simply thinking that others will admire your physique is to focus on the inner transformation that’s happening when you’re on a diet.

When it’s not only about vanity, but also about your stronger feelings of self-achievement and self-growth, it’s easier to keep motivation. When you add to that the benefit to other people – like getting fit enough to keep up with your kids or nephews and nieces – you’ll have an even stronger motivation to keep going.

Come up with your powerful reason why today and never give up again.
