Anything is possible

No one is born an achiever, with the most important key to success is “practice.” Sports stars weren’t born good, rather they deliberately practiced every day to get better. Whatever field you may be passionate about, being determined and active will help you get there - success doesn’t happen overnight.

Many people can often experience a lack of motivation and a sense of disharmony between themselves and others. However, if we learn that it is often difficult to change other people's demeanor towards us, there should be minimal expectations even if the effort is put in, so why try at all? Past experiences certainly can impact how we attempt challenges today and tomorrow resulting in failure; what is important is not to stop searching for the treasures through trying new things or going down different paths.

Focus on the end goal and make sure you understand your motives behind it. Let your determination (fueled by competition or a passion for it) propel you head first in this abyss. It is alright to stumble, as long as it is not settling.

Businesses should realize that they need motivated employees who are ready to constantly have conflicts and be in a competitive environment in order to succeed.

Often times we are able to see how much progress we’ve made once we face the hard problems and go for our goal.

Succeeding requires intelligence and hard work but more importantly, it requires motivation - that search for the challenge in order to enjoy the journey and find meaning.

However, there are those people who not only pursue their goals with professional determination but furthermore take it further by embracing active competition as well as absolute love of practice.

The reasoning is that, with the help of one's animalism, excitement has been attained which can never be reached by pursuing normal things and objectives. ~ Erich Fromm

One way to understand the thesis is to confer with a fairly recent study in the publishing industry that found long-form reading on platforms like Medium, Longreads, and LitHub has actually increased over the last year while comments plummeted.

Extended reading is not as passive as we would first assume. The reader interacts through margin notes, highlighting passages, making reflections or explorations into new areas readying him for another general foray. Each reading creates an impulse for further readings because it sows the idea in us that there are other treasures on those other pages where our sight does not yet linger.

Everybody needs motivation in their lives and success is worth the struggle. Without that motivation, we might not get past the hurdles that come on our paths in life.

There are many views on the topic of success and how to pursue it. Motivation is believed by many scholars to be essential to attain success. They believe that it can be learned and taught, which could potentially help improve one’s ability in literally anything. It also gives you the power not to give up if you see progress or have clarity about your goals, you won’t have any doubts about what you are going for and will never think about giving up.
