Do you know that you can motivate yourself? Do you know that no one can motivate you? If you are waiting for someone to motivate you, you are going to wait forever. If you are waiting for someone to give you what you want, you will never get what you want.

The best way to get what you want is to know what you want. If you don’t know what you want, you can’t move yourself to get it. Don’t wait for someone to help you get what you want. You can get it yourself. You are stronger than you think. You are smarter than you think. Don’t bring yourself down. Don’t settle for less than you can get. If you do that, you are reducing your success.

You are the only person who can motivate you to get more done in your life. You have got to believe in yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can.” Yes, we need people to help us get what we want. But what if they are not there? What if no one is ready and willing to help us? What would you do? Are you going to be waiting for someone who is not at home? Don’t do that. If no one is there to help you, help yourself. If you push yourself, you can do more for yourself. If you do more than you have always done, you will get more than you have always attracted to yourself. The question is: Are you ready to do a little more than you have done before? If you are ready, you can do more for yourself.

Never Explain

“Never explain- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyhow.”- Elbert Green Hubbard

You are bigger and better than what people are saying about you. Don’t worry about what people are saying about you. You should worry about what you are saying about yourself. You can’t make people like you. If you want to go great things, if you want to be happier, you must learn to live your life. Your life is too precious to worry about making other people happy. Start everything with yourself, but never explain.

If you want to make other people happy, you must first make yourself happy. Make yourself happy, then you can make other people happy. Don’t seek people’s approval. You don’t need it. You don’t need to hang out with the wrong people. You don’t need them. You just need the courage to believe in yourself. You just need the courage to break free from making everybody happy. So from now, you must protect your heart and soul. You must love yourself, love your mind, and your soul.
