11. Encourage yourself throughout your journey

11. Encourage yourself throughout your journey

It’s nice to have others support your goals. But, for the most part, you’ll be alone working on this. Other’s support is secondary to your own internal motivational cheerleader. Moreover, no one can build your skills or your progress but yourself.

12. Stay positive

12. Stay positive

If you’re telling yourself you can’t do this project, then you won’t do it. Simple as that. If you always tell yourself excuses like, “I’m not talented enough.” or “It’s too much work.” then, that’ll guarantee it won’t happen.

Instead, think about how it will work and how you can do it. Ignore the negative messages and excuses in your mind. Besides, people much worse off than you have probably achieved your goal.
