I have a difficult time staying motivated. I start things and I give up. I'll start other things and complete those before I finish what I have to complete. One of my worst fears in life is that I will blink and I will not have done anything that I wanted to do. Motivation is something I am working on in my life. Being motivated is hard. But without motivation nothing will get done. Here's three ways to stay motivated.

1. Take small steps. If you're working on a big project that's due soon, instead of trying to do it all, work on it a little bit at a time. Taking big steps are good, but sometimes small steps are what you need. We often lose motivation because it's not important, we're overwhelmed and we're tired. Taking little steps helps, because little steps eventually turn into big steps. I am working on overcoming a setback, I stopped because I was afraid and I got discouraged so I started over again and I’m just taking little steps.
2. Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is a great way to motivate yourself! 😉however it's not beneficial. A wise person once said "Procrastination is the arrogance that God owes you another day to do the thing in front of you." While you may not believe in God, it's still true. Because we're not promised tomorrow, yet we think we are and we take it for granted. Don't put off till Tomorrow what was meant to be done today! I am a huge procrastinator, I put off dealing with my setback by making excuses and justifying my actions. Procrastination is a tricky one, it disguises itself in a way that makes us think we’re doing alright.
3. Remember that something is better than nothing. For example if you want to exercise everyday and you do something once but don't do it again, so you get discouraged and give up you won't make progress. Some type of exercise is better than no exercise. Do something. This is my motto in life now. This is how I am going to beat my setback. I am an all or nothing person so when I didn’t make progress I just stopped instead of doing something. Because all somethings are going to lead me to overcoming that setback, Because eventually all those somethings and all those small steps will lead way to giant leaps.

I know staying motivated is difficult, I know we like to procrastinate! It is in our nature to put off that in which we hate, but you were made for more than this. You were made for bigger and better things. The world will change yes, but think of how it will change if you were the one to change it? You cannot ignite change unless you are motivated to change. In the end, motivation is a tool that Must be sharpened by grace and kept in dedication. We can change the world, we can change ourselves, we just have to keep going.
