“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them."

Rather than pin their failures or successes on outside forces, they have a more internal locus of control. They believe that they have an active role in creating their own victories.

Here are some other tips for staying focused and motivated:

  • If you’re not feeling motivated, think about the results of your goals, not just the goals themselves. 
  • Remember your successes, even small successes. Remember how good it feels to succeed.
  • Get the important things done first. 
  • Stay focused, motivated and concentrate ...

Define the next action

... rather than all subsequent steps.

Focusing only on the next action gives you permission to work on something even if you don’t have it all figured out—which is crucial to completing tasks that in the past have left you paralyzed.
