To the students who have lost motivation in life:
There are times where situations have become so difficult that you lose the strength, courage, and determination to keep going. Often you may feel exhausted, uninterested or depressed as a result of stress from assignments, exams or work.
Being able to handle one major thing is no problem, but multiple tasks at once will cause you to break down and make you want to give up, but there are many reasons why you should not. Failure should only be seen as a negative consequence of trying something you always wanted to do. Thinking about the positive moments, and the little things you accomplished throughout the day will make you feel better.
College becomes the most stressful for students at the beginning and end of each semester. While speaking with a counselor, exercising, staying healthy, and hanging out with friends are great ways to take your mind off problems, there are other helpful solutions to reignite the spark inside you, and program your mind to achieve success.
Before deciding on accomplishing a goal or project, set reminders of what you want to achieve and the steps you have to take. Plan what you want to get done. Always begin the day by waking up early, trying to help someone else, and spending at least an hour a day learning a new skill. Challenge yourself and set deadlines. After completing a small task by the deadline, make sure to reward yourself, and then repeat the process. Keeping track of goals (whether in a journal or your phone) on a consistent basis will give you determination every day to stay inspired.
Even if you do not get a high mark on a test or reach your goal in time, use this failed opportunity as a lesson to work harder, so you can do better the next time. If you are looking for additional motivation, there are books, ebooks or videos to check out. Try to meet other people like the ones from books or podcasts. Join different clubs and organizations on campus filled with smart, cool, fun, and inspirational students. You never know who you can possibly become friends or even network with, so try to find groups based on your interests.
Whenever the workload gets to be overwhelming (this is mainly due to advanced classes) staying productive, being ambitious, and maintaining a good attitude are ways to overcome these stressful times.
I am just like you, someone who needed to learn to focus on strengths rather than weaknesses.
Instead of distracting yourself with entertainment, discover your purpose and keep going forward until you achieve the things you want.
Keep moving towards your goals.
If you want to stay motivated, learn the skills you need, and do the things you love. The only thing standing in your way is you, because similar to how the only thing that can destroy iron is the rust it creates, our mindsets can stop us from living our dreams.
