Motivation
In order to be successful at anything you put your mind to, I believe one must be motivated. You need to clearly state your reasons for completed the goal at hand, and why you are enthusiastic about it's completion. Over the years, I have witnessed countless students attend college courses, but are not motivated. Now there are several factors that contribute to one's motivational level, but all motivation should not only come externally. In order to truly see growth and accomplishment should begin intrinsically. Moody & Sherfield, 2014 indicate in order to achieve your potential and increase motivation a student should consider the following;
Develop a New Attitude
Make Excellence A Habit
Overcome your Doubts & Fears
Put Adversity, Failure & Challenges into perspective
Eliminate Negative Self-Talk and the " I Cant" Syndrome
Identify and Clarify What you Value in Life
Take Pride in your Name and personal character
Develop a Stong Personal "Guiding Statement"
